Based Kazakhstan is officially switching its alphabet from disgusting inferior cyrillic to superior Latin.
Time to get closer with the developed world and say good bye to Russia and its corrupted, undeveloped and poor world.
So-called russian sphere of influence is shrinking each day and pretty soon it will cease to exist completely.

what does this have to do with russia
Alphabet and the language in general is an extremely important part of your culture, the core of it, Ivan.
Using some particular script makes it easier for the people to be a part of some bigger culture, to feel more connected to it.
In the ex-soviet world cyrillic is associated with russia and its influence, as opposed to latin which is associated with the West and its culture. Switching from one script to another is a huge symbolic gesture, not to mention the practical aspects of it. Even the Kazakh officials respinsible for the switch openly said that it is being done mostly to integrate Kazakhstan into global, western-lead world, western community, and leave ex-soviet bloc, its cultural, political and economic spheres in the past.
White people are living Kazakhstan according to recent stats.
didn't read but afaik russian is still an official language so there's no need to make a big deal out of it
*leaving
>Another victory for the Roman empire
SOL INVICTUS
You did read it though, Ivan.
And of course russian is STILL an official language (it's not the state language though) since you can't make such massive changes overnight.
i know you're the nato shill whose threads never get any replies
but i do not understand your mental gymnastics and why you think switching the alphabet means kz suddenly is a western ally when it's both part of the EEU and the CSTO
Lmao you're actually that Ivan who spends his whole pathetic life shilling for kremlin on Jow Forums.
What a piece of garage you are.
>means kz suddenly is a western ally when it's both part of the EEU and the CSTO
I already replied to it, Ivan. You don't make such massive changes overnight. Even the Kazakhstan government admits that it's actively integrating the country into western world. Georgia was a part of CSTO too btw. Withrawing from it is easy af.
>be nato shill
>waste every single minute of your life ranting against anything even remotely russian (such as the cyrillic script)
>your threads never get any replies
what a sad life
just letting you know that kazakhstan is probably the last country putin would worry about
B Кaзaхcтaнe бoльшe 18 млн чeлoвeк живёт. Дecятoк тыcяч yeхaвших (пpичём oбpaти внимaниe, чтo 2 тыcячи пpи этoм пpибыли) pyccких этo вooбщe ничтo, тeм бoлee чтo тaм дaжe нe нaпиcaнo кyдa имeннo oни пepeбpaлиcь.
Nobody gives a shit about that pathetic manlet and what should he worry about anymore you useless kremlinbot. No one even takes him seriously now.
only 5% of kazakhs are against putin. sorry to ruin your phantasies
Mambet, please. Don't make me life. Kazakhstan is semi-african republic without identity and history. And moreover there is supreme chief who rules country from 1991 to present day. Your struggling to get closer to the West is pathetic.
>life
Laugh*
Пocчитaй cкoлькo Кaзaхcтaн тepяeт кaждый гoд oт низкoй фepтильнocти cpeди бeлoгo нaceлeния.
Пoчитaй o тoм, чтo пpeдcтaвлял из ceбя "Кaзaхcтaн" дo пpихoдa тyдa бoльшeвикoв.
Эти """"люди"""" никoгдa нe пocтpoят нopмaльнyю cтpaнy. Бeз бeлых тaм бyдeт ЮAP.
nah kazakhstan is nice and kazakh people hold no grudge against russia whatsoever. ignore that desperate shill.
Kazakhstan should use Cyrillic because that's how it's always been also Kazakh girls are hot
Should not associate Latin script with progress, because Western Culture is shit
only 8% of kazakhs approve of the US leadership (under obama) - that's less than in palestine

closer relationship with the west my ass
who cares lmao
the real problem is that they never developed their own script
do they have any new letters?
How the fuck is this even possible to do? You've to make the entire country learn to read and write again? It was possible when literacy levels were low (like Turkey's transition from Arabic to Latin), but now it sounds utterly crazy.
>tfw no kazakh gf
>mfw the romans still win battles even when the empire disappeared 5 centuries ago.
Wonder if Bulgaria will ever try the same.
>switching your language to latinics
>not completely switching to english
>Try to be more independent by de-Russifying
>Replace it with western influence
Why not use old Kipchak script for maximum special snowflakeness a la Armenia and Georgia
>a shithole changing something substantial as its own alphabet for emonomic purposes, ignoring all the tradition and records written
Every battle us Britain and France win.
your local five dollar whore
>invented Cyrillic
>switching over to Latin, ever
lmao that's never happening
Kazakhstan literally has (almost) the same GDP PPP per capita as Russia while having a much lower inequality rate.
Also a russian calling any other country "african" is truly laughable considering russia's africa-tier HIV levels and banana economy based entirely on selling natural resources.
Also what "identity" are you talking about? Because modern russia and its population doesn't have one. Russians buy cheap ripoffs of western brands (due to lack of money), listen to western music (or at least 90% influenced by the west like hip-hop), watch american movies and so on. This and a bit of pathetic soviet nostalgia is all the "culture and identity" modern russia has. But every single post-soviet country has it.
>Don't make me life.
Also this. Unfortunately it's not possible to make you "life" anymore, at least Kazakhstan is trying to make itself fully alive again.
>>Try to be more independent by de-Russifying
>>Replace it with western influence
Countries that are under western influence tend to be developed, prosperous and have low crime and corruption rates.
Countries under russian sphere of influence tend to be, well, exactly the opposite.
So the choice is clear. It's not about being a special snowflake, it's about distancing yourself from mordor aka russia.
What are you talking about, Mambet? If there wasn't natural resources your ulus would be Tajikistan or Turkmenistan tier or even worse. Also don't forget your nation was build literally by Lenin and his best pupil Stalin from language to territory. There was even chance to you to be called Kirgiz.
no, cyrillic has been created to suit slavic languages, unlike kazahk and the rest of the turkic languages... they do look ugly in cyrillic (personal opinion). nevertheless I don't think latin is a good choice for them either.
Redpill me on Turkmenistan
Is the dictator still in power because of you or us?
Does the average Russian even know Turkmenistan exists? I know average American does not
>Is the dictator still in power because of you or us?
I guess it's because dictator manage to hold his power against local elites. And no one really cares about them.
>Does the average Russian even know Turkmenistan exists?
Yes because it was part of USSR.
