alphabet. This, he said, “is not only the fulfillment of the dreams of our
ancestors, but also the way to the future for younger generations.”
As in many newly independent countries struggling to create a sense of
national identity after subjugation by a foreign power, language
in Kazakhstan is
a highly sensitive issue. Many people here, including ethnic Kazakhs, still often
speak Russian.
It has replaced Russian with Kazakh as the main language of education and
government, put English on a par with Russian in foreign language teaching and
produced a torrent of Kazakh-language films and television programs that
celebrate the country’s culture and long-vanished nomadic traditions.
The shift to the Latin alphabet, to be completed by 2025, has been widely
cheered as a long overdue assertion of the country’s full independence from
Russia — and its determination to join the wider world. The main objections
have come from the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow and ethnic Russians
living in Kazakhstan.
Far less popular, however, has been a decision by the president in October
to ignore the advice of specialists and announce a system that uses apostrophes
to designate Kazakh sounds that don’t exist in other languages written in the
standard Latin script.
The Republic of Kazakhstan, for example, will be written in Kazakh as
Qazaqstan Respy’bli’kasy.
In a country where almost nobody challenges the president publicly, Mr.
Nazarbayev has found his policy on apostrophes assailed from all sides.
Linguists, who had recommended that the new writing system follow the
example of Turkish, which uses umlauts and other phonetic markers instead of
apostrophes, protested that the president’s approach would be ugly and
imprecise.
Others complained the use of apostrophes will make it impossible to do
Google searches for many Kazakh words or to create hashtags on Twitter.
On the 14
th
of November the students and the teaching stuff of
Languages’ Department of the West Kazakhstan Innovation and Technological
University successfully wrote a dictation.
The modified Latin alphabet put forward by Mr. Nazarbayev uses
apostrophes to elongate or modify the sounds of certain letters.
By the end of the year there will a finalized official Latin spelling. By next
year teacher training is to begin and new textbooks will be developed.
Come 2025, all official paperwork and publications in the Kazakh language
will be in the new Latin script. President Nazarbayev indicated though there
would be a transition period where Cyrillic might still be used as well.
