Dear friends of Monumenta Altaica. Many of you have noticed a considerable pause in updating the site. That was due to the important event: I opened a mirror site http://altaica.ru. Now one can download files from Altaica.ru much faster than it has been from Altaica.narod.ru. The perspectives of site development are not exactly determined yet, but undoubtedly the site will grow and improve for your convenience. Both urls will be updated from time to time. You can test the speed of the new mirror by downloading the new book on Altaic: the 1 volume of 'Etymologic Dictionary of Chuvash' (А-R) (M.R.Fedotov, 1996. pdf, 13Mb, in Russian).
