The first Chuvash grammar was published in 1769. A number of dictionaries, translations of religious texts and samples of folklore was published during the 18th and the first half of the 19th centuries. The Old Chuvash literary language used the Russian script. A new writing system was created in 1871 by I.Ya. Yakovlev and existed until 1933, when it was replaced by another Russian-based alphabet.
