Government and media teams working across Russia and neighboring post-Soviet states also convert Bashkir interviews and programs to text.
Bashkir dialects and accents
Bashkir has three main dialect groups: Southern, Eastern, and Northwestern, with the literary standard based on the Southern and Eastern varieties. The Northwestern dialect shares many features with neighboring Tatar, so speech from that region can sound closer to Tatar than to standard Bashkir.
