THE SPECIFICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEGISLATION OF THE KHAKASS REPUBLICAN LANGUAGE
The article presents an analysis of the language legislation of the Republic of Khakassia, which has allowed to establish that the individual articles of the Law “About Languages of Peoples of the Khakassia Republic” has repeatedly been adjusted, some of which led to the weakening of minority languages in the republic. Special attention is paid to the work of special programs for the preservation and development of languages of the peoples of the Khakassia Republic, the implementation of which has a great impact on the language situation in the region. The author comes to the conclusion that the advisory nature of the legislation of the republican language regarding the use of the Khakass language in social spheres, including education, contributes to the preservation of inter-ethnic harmony, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the decline in the prestige and relevance of the Khakass language.
