HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF ALPHABETIC REFORM OF THE SOVIET KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

In the years when the Kazakh people were part of the USSR, two reforms related to the translation of writing were carried out. Representatives of the foremost intelligentsia, having comprehensively conducted a historical analysis taking into account the linguistic peculiarities of the Turkic peoples, introduced the Latin alphabet to the scene of spiritual culture. Representatives of the public education, conducting propaganda among the wide population, made a significant contribution to the introduction of the Latin script. In 1940, according to the the law on the shift of “Latinized” Kazakh script to a new alphabet based on Russian graphics, Russian graphics (Cyrillic) came into effect. Transition of Kazakh language to the Latin script will contribute to improving the competitiveness of our country on the world stage and the establishment of good relations with developed countries.
