The REMODUS Consortium held an online course on Chuvash taught by András Czentnár (ELTE) between 6 and 15 May 2024.

Chuvash is a Turkic language spoken by roughly a million speakers in the Volga Region of European Russia, primarily in the Republic of Chuvashia. It is genealogically and structurally highly distinct from other Turkic languages. It is a critical language not only for Turkic studies, but also Uralic studies: Chuvash, and historic language varieties belonging to the same branch of the language family, have had significant influence on Uralic languages such as Mari and Hungarian. The course focused on conveying basic structures of the Chuvash language and did not require any prior knowledge of Turkic languages.
