Adopting a consistent/stable writing system is more important standardizing on Latin.
Main goal is to be phonetically consistent with reading. I highly doubt the beauty of expression in Arabic/Hebrew can be represented outside their respective scripts.
Bastardizing on Latin does not give Kazaks anything more than Turkey getting the EU membership.
- kingofhdds 8y ago>Bastardizing on Latin It's ugly, and emotionally loaded language which doesn't bring us towards any bright idea. In majority of languages where Latin is the base for their writing systems, there are diacritics, or other graphical changes. I wonder if you want also to tell French, and German guys that they 'bastardized' Latin, or is it only Kazakh who are not allowed to use the script with additions? Besides, Cyrillic had to be heavily modified for Kazakh also, and I guess any script, which realistically exists in modern world.
- madeel 8y agoIt's how it is. Chinese/Japanese regardless of it's character hasn't stopped them from carving our respect or economic might the world. So liberalization on an idea for the sake of liberalization is deem to go nowhere.
- kingofhdds 8y agoSorry, I don't understand what you are trying to communicate. What liberalization? This comment is neither answer to the mine, nor continuation of your own above.
- madeel 8y agoliberalization: How liberals seems to interpret adoption of western systems as cure to all problems. In this very case latinization.
- kingofhdds 8y agoNow I see the meaning of your commentary, thanks! Still, I don't see how it could be related to what I wrote here, or even to what you wrote opening the thread. Also, let me tell you: trying to explain every phenomena in terms of liberal conspiracy is rather unproductive. The world is way more complex than that. Actually, in post-Soviet countries conservatives (in politological meaning) are often pro-Western, and lefties are anti-. And you probably the first man on Earth who called Nursultan Nazarbaev's regime "liberal".
- madeel 8y agoLiberalism is not right or left it's the proliferation of thoughts in manner which creates confusion. Conspiracy is a abusive word for anything society deems expulsive from the status-co. World is not complex it's the expression of meaning related to facts are over-loaded. Example, If you call injustice injustice you solve the problem complexity problem in 1 step. If you describe societal injustice as systematic with various traits, laws and blah blah, you end up doing the govt's job. Regardless of democracy or choosing any fancy term to fill the blank. Except in the 1st case people have a clear goal knowing their is a better future possible by overcoming the injustice to find a new path. While in the 2nd case a few generations are wasted trying to only comprehend what's the complexity all about.
