Chuvash language

"Okschini says she only became interested in Chuvash when her son was born and she decided to speak with him only in her native language and also when she got involved in making jewelry. She says she has incorporated Chuvash elements in her work and that has made her even more proud of her nationality and language. As a result of her interest in Chuvash, she has been reconciled with her older relatives and that in turn has intensified her interest in and desire to express herself via the Chuvash language and through the use of Chuvash symbols. She and her mother have even appeared together in Chuvash festivals."
