Uzbekistan publishes a bill on a new alphabet in the Latin alphabet

23 May 2021 34

The Uzbek authorities first organized two scripts in their country, and then began to overcome the difficulties that arose. Now they are persistently trying to translate the local alphabet from Cyrillic to Latin script. A new draft law prepared by the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan was published on the portal for discussing draft regulatory legal acts.

The first project appeared in mid-March 2021, but it caused criticism, after which it was sent for revision. The next document, with the changes made, was posted on the specified site on May 19.

Before that, on May 10, the department for the development of the state language under the government of Uzbekistan informed that the discussion of the issue of switching to the Latin alphabet was extended until November 1. This is supposedly necessary for "comprehensive study by specialists and the general public."

According to the bill, the alphabet consists of 28 letters and 1 letter combination. Compared to the previous version, there are major changes.

The letter combinations "sh" and "ch" have been replaced by the letters "ş" and "ç" ("w" and "h"). The letters with an inverted apostrophe "o'" and "g'" ("" and "ғ") were replaced with the letters "" and "ğ".

It is also suggested to leave the combination of letters "ng" and not return the letter "c" for the sound "ts". The designations for the sounds "e", "yu" and "I" will continue to be used by the combinations "ye" (after a consonant or for the sound "e" - "e"), "yu" and "ya".

If the proposal is approved, appropriate changes will be made to the law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the introduction of the Uzbek alphabet based on the Latin script".

We remind you that after the collapse of the USSR, Uzbekistan sharply wanted to become on a par with the Turkic-speaking states, where the Latin alphabet is used. Officials in Tashkent suddenly remembered that in 1929-1940 just such a script was used. In 1993, a law was adopted, according to which Uzbekistan had to implement its plans until 2005.

The idea stalled and in 2004 the reform was extended until 2010. After that, for a whole decade, little was remembered at all. But on October 20, 2020, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, before the national language holiday, signed a decree "On measures to further develop the Uzbek language and improve the language policy in the country ”and the reform went into the second round.

This means that they will take away all the literature published during the Soviet era - young people will not be able to read the Cyrillic alphabet, let alone know the Russian language in general. Although they will go to Russia to make money. Who is richer - they hire Russian tutors.

  The Soviet era ended 30 years ago. I do not know where and who has preserved Soviet literature there, which has been forgotten for a long time, and why it is needed there.
  Those who work in Russia use a vocabulary of 30-50 words; for movers and janitors, more is not required.

  do they have problems in Russia due to the fact that they have a Latin alphabet in their country? do you have any precedent with other countries? Chinese, Vietnamese? Georgians, Armenians? what does it mean to go to earn money in Russia and the question of attracting migrants to you to work at the state level because of their outflow? in Moscow, 30% of Gaster are from Kyrgyzstan, 25 from Tajikistan. from Uzbekistan 27% of the total number of 700 thousand. and Uzbekistan has 35 million people. and who, in your opinion, supplies you with products, the same cars? cotton?

... to translate the local alphabet from Cyrillic to Latin.

... the alphabet consists of 28 letters and 1 letter combination.

Strictly speaking, the Latin alphabet has exactly 26 letters. Doubters can open any English-Russian dictionary and count.
And this should be called Uzbek alphabet based on Latin graphics.
The Kazakhs, Turks, Moldovans, Poles, Czechs and others have the corresponding alphabets based on the Latin script. And there they draw their dots, hooks and squiggles under and above the letters. But it is no longer the Latin alphabet.

In general, two generations have developed in Uzbekistan today: the generation of the Cyrillic alphabet and the Latin alphabet, which actively use two versions of the Uzbek script. This is quite consistent with the adopted law "On the introduction of the Uzbek alphabet based on the Latin script", supplemented with the following words:

With the introduction of the Uzbek alphabet based on the Latin script, the necessary conditions for mastering and using the Arabic script and Cyrillic alphabet are preserved, on which an invaluable spiritual heritage has been created, which is the national pride of the people of Uzbekistan.

By the way, by 1930 in the RSFSR there was also a draft law on the transition to the Latin alphabet.

If the Uzbeks want to be closer to the Turks, then they are unlikely to find work for themselves in Turkey. But in Russia you can find a job, but in Russia they write in Cyrillic and then even a literate Uzbek will work in Russia only as an apprentice at best. And he could, with knowledge of the Russian language, work as a master. But this is their short-sighted choice.

  They look the same, but they sound different. And we do not make heaps of several letters for one sound, and therefore the sound of the language is conveyed more accurately and in the USSR the Uzbeks had an alphabet with their own letters to preserve the beauty of the sound of the language. Therefore, the sound of the traditional Uzbek language will change over time, whether it is bad or not, in old age you yourself will find out ...

      Newans of the Russian language sea:
      "No need to persuade me" means "no"
      "I do not need to be persuaded" means "with both hands for"
      
      The rules streamline, systematize, traditionalize the language, but if you write zhy shy, they will understand you and pronounce what you have written correctly, because this will not give birth to a new sound, and therefore there is no need to be perverted by saying stskhto or chto instead of that, because we have for this sound there is a letter h or w for sts ...

        and no one is perverted in the same Germany, France or Britain with letter combinations. There they are simply known from childhood, it is easy to learn. You judge a foreign language by being a native speaker of the Russian language. Any foreigner will give you an example of hundreds of examples of irrational rules in our language, although they will not present any difficulty for you, because you grew up with them.

Yes, changing the alphabet is very, very bad for the country, changing it. But, from the model of Russia, with its feudal oligarchy, they will flee like the plague. Both large and small. If Russia demonstrated success and progress, it would be the other way around.

        The population of the Russian Empire under Peter 1 was up to 15 million subjects and was second only to France in number in Europe (about 20 million).
        
        According to the calculations of the Soviet historian Yaroslav Vodarsky, the number of men and children of males increased from 1678 to 1719 from 5,6 to 7,8 million. Thus, taking the number of women approximately equal to the number of men, the total population of Russia over this period increased from 11.2 to 15.6 million

        Under Peter the Great, sparsely populated but large territories were annexed. Due to this, the population may have grown. But the lands that were part of Muscovy as of 1700 became very scarce. The Great Northern War, the brutally suppressed permanent riots, the construction of St. Petersburg on a swamp and bones, a multiple increase in taxes and taxes, increased serfdom, which led to the "scattering" of people to the outskirts - the reasons for the decline in population.
        
        The Soviet scientist Vodarsky saturates his narration with phrases:
        "the sources do not contain direct information", "the population on the Don cannot be counted", "there is no information on the composition of the population", "it is determined approximately", "it is difficult to say." This is his professionalism as a historian - he leaves "room" for other points of view, opinions, nothing is firmly and absolutely asserted.
        Another thing is Internet cheap things, like you, which have been picked up on the Internet by various numbers and are hiding behind the authority of real historians. Select, copy, paste ... your little mind is not enough for more.
