Russian president calls for Cyrillic web

2008/06/12

Russia has urged internet authorities to help prevent English superseding native languages by allowing users to access web addresses written in the Cyrillic alphabet.

Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian President, claimed that Cyrillic is suffering from the pervasive influence of English on the internet.

Speaking at the International Congress of Russian Press in Moscow, Mr Medvedev said: "We must do everything we can to make sure that we achieve in the future a Cyrillic Internet domain name.

"It is a symbol of the importance of the Russian language and Cyrillic and it is not a bad sphere of co-operation."

He added that over 300 million people across the globe access Russian media, which underlines the need to promote Cyrillic as a linguistic medium.

ICANN, the organisation charged with managing web addresses, is conducting a pilot scheme that would allow domain owners to written them in 15 major languages, including Russian.
