Russian President Wants Cyrillic Tld

Posted on June 12th, 2008 by admin in Domain News | No Comments »

According to new Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Russia needs to be assigned a Tld ( top level domain name ) in the Cyrillic script in order to promote Russian as an international language.

Worries are growing in the Kremlin that the influence of Russian, once the main language in the Soviet Union is waning due to the growing use of local languages and the influence of English.

According to Medvedev over 300 million people worldwide used Russian media and a Cyrillic Tld would play an important role in raising the profile of Russian as a language.

“We must do everything we can to make sure that we achieve in the future a Cyrillic Internet domain name — it is a pretty serious thing,” Medvedev told the International Congress of Russian Press in Moscow.

“It is a symbol of the importance of the Russian language and Cyrillic and it is not a bad sphere of cooperation. And I think we have a rather high chance of achieving such a decision in the Internet world.”

Medvedev is an avid user of the web – he surfs online every morning for news. He also uses his mobile phone to connect to the Internet.

Russian Internet sites use domain names in the Latin script, which is standard for most parts of the Internet. Addresses end in .ru or in .su, a domain name that comes from the Soviet Union.

Industry experts say Russia wants its domain name to be .rf which stands for Russian Federation, but written in Cyrillic script.

Critics are concerned that it could lead to tighter control of the media.

Russian is the sixth most spoken language in the world after Madarin, English, Hindi/Urdu, Arabic and Spanish.
