Russian (Русский язык)
Russian is spoken by about 145,000,000 people in the Russian Federation. Large communities of Russian speakers exist in the US, Israel, China, Canada, Germany, and the former Soviet republics (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Moldova, Ukraine, etc.). Russian is used as a lingua franca between different ethnic minorities in Russian Federation.

Russian uses the Cyrillic script. Here is a sample:
Все люди рождаются свободными и равными в своем достоинстве и правах. Они наделены разумом и совестью и должны поступать в отношении друг друга в духе братства.

Edward Carlin, Russian 1 & 2, Kazan -- 2008 & 2009
I absolutely loved my experience with the CLI! Not only did I Learn a Critical language, I learned great study habits that help me in my everyday life as a college student. Through the study abroad practicum, I made lifelong friends that have continue to teach me all about the Russian and Tatar Language and culture! The CLI program was an invaluable experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life!
