The questions of transference of modern Kazakh alphabet to Latin graphics: proposals and project
Abstract
The article dwells upon the issues of transference of modern Kazakh alphabet to Latin script. Linguistic and extralinguistic reasons for the transition to the new Kazakh-Latin alphabet are considered. The issue of the draft projects of the alphabet proposed by Kazakhstani scientists and citizens (as the citizens take active part in discussion of the issue as well) has been discussed from 1993, and special attention has been drawn to the problem of choice of the letters referring to the specific Kazakh phonemes. Having analyzed the proposed projects of the alphabet, the authors of the article choose the design proposed by the scientists from the Institute of Linguistics named after Akhmet Baitursynov. Pointing to the letters, advised to be removed from the Kazakh alphabet based on the script of the Russian language, the researchers propose to introduce new alphabet graphemes ф, в, һ. The article demonstrates the adoption of the alphabetic script, referring to the specific phonemes of Kazakh language.
