“The features of the new alphabet are in quick writing, when teaching children, each letter is singled out separately, the written version is very similar to the printed one. Now there is no equal to the Kazakh alphabet. When we have the best alphabet in the context of the Latin alphabet, there is no need for latinization. Is it necessary to be tempted by beautiful letters and waste all your culture?
Akhmet Baitursynov.
"In different places I am an unenviable tree
There are no luxurious fruits on it.
But entirely and from the root I am here.
Alash! (My countryman!).
My fruits are yours.
The Kazakh sleeps soundly.
After all, we will burn in the fire, if we do not show agility,
All nations have moved forward
Only our people are rolling back,
Trying not to take even a step forward.”
Myrzhakyp Dulatov.
