Abstract

This article deals with the scientific analysis of writing based on the Latin alphabet that was used by the Kazakhs in China in the period of 1965-1983. Foreign terms, names of cities, countries and places were used as materials of the analysis. The purpose is to define the practice of spelling of foreign words which came into the language.

During the study several phonemes that are extrinsic to the Kazakh language were used to write international terms and other foreign words with double consonants. However the irregularities in the law of synharmonism peculiar to the Kazakh language have been revealed in writing foreign words.

The author of the article has made the following conclusion: “During the transition to the Latin alphabet and elaboration of spelling rules, first of all, it is necessary to consider the issue of the Kazakh language recovery in accordance with the former regulation.”
