Global Ossetian Dictation

During the live broadcast on the channel of the state autonomous institution of the national television company of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania “Ossetia-Iryston” a global dictation in the Ossetian language was held. Anyone could participate in the dictation.

Approximately 1750 of the participants were registered in Vladikavkaz. The Republic of South Ossetia, as well as neighboring regions – Karachay-Cherkessia and Kabardino-Balkaria, joined the dictation. The Ossetia-Iryston TV channel became the main platform for the Global Dictation in the Ossetian language. The venues were also organized at the North Ossetian State University, schools, colleges and technical schools of the republic.

The text of the dictation was an excerpt from the Nart epos that was read by the winner of the Russian competition “The Best Teacher of the native Language and native Literature of 2022”, teacher of the Alanian Gymnasium Yana Bekoeva.

The executive authorities of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania also took part in the action. The global dictation was held as part of the celebration of the Day of the Ossetian language and literature. The organizer of the dictation was the Ministry of Education and Science of North Ossetia-Alania. The dictation was held in order to develop and support the Ossetian language. The oldest participant in the dictation is 75 years old, the youngest is 14 years old. More than 7,000 thousand people participated in the dictation.
