The new president of Kazakhstan supported the transition to the Latin alphabet
The new president of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev, made several extremely important statements. Firstly, he said that relations between Nur-Sultan and Moscow are a standard of international relations and he intends to develop them further. Secondly, he spoke in favor of translating the Kazakh script into Latin.

Where the figure of 90% came from is not specified. It is simply hard to believe that in India, 700 million people suddenly ceased to communicate in Hindi (Indo-Aryan language) and publish anything on it. Not to mention the billionth of China and the 120 millionth of Japan. But these countries are the “locomotives” of the world economics and leaders of scientific progress.
However, Tokaev is sure that the transition to the Latin alphabet is necessary and promised to carry it out smoothly and in stages. He gave examples of this approach. For example, in the newspaper Egemen Kazakhstan, one of the pages appears in Latin. In addition, several public organizations and commercial companies also use the Latin alphabet in their activities.
At the same time, Tokaev promised that public opinion, advantages and omissions in applying the new alphabet will be taken into account. In the new Kazakh language alphabet, approved in 2017 by Nursultan Nazarbayev, 32 letters. Moreover, apostrophes are widely used in graphics (writing), which, in the opinion of citizens and specialists, make reading and writing difficult. Despite these difficulties, the leadership of Kazakhstan intends to completely transfer the country to Latin alphabet by 2025.
The choice of alphabet is not only the choice of a spelling template. Today, Kazakhstan does not lag behind the trends of the times, neighboring countries have also chosen the Latin script, 90% of the information in the world is published in Latin. As you know, whoever owns the information, the one who develops science and technology. The transition of the Kazakh language to the Latin alphabet is one of the key stages of spiritual modernization
