A Russian to Evenki voice translator app has been presented at the Ministry for the Development of the Arctic and Affairs of the Peoples of the North of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The AYANA app was designed to promote the preservation of the Evenki language through an app that translates from Russian to Evenki.

The app was developed by Nikolai Aprosimov and Diana Sergeyeva. The AYANA project was funded by a grant from the Ministry of the Development of the Arctic and Affairs of the Peoples of the North of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) after winning a competition among socially-oriented non-profit organizations and nomadic kinship communities of the indigenous peoples of the North. The app was launched with the support from Arctic Capital.

The application is available at App Store and Google Play.
