Where is the Latin Script Spreading?

October 15th, 2008 · No Comments

http://blogamundo.net/dev/2008/10/15/where-is-the-latin-script-spreading/ asks Hoosgot,

I happened upon an interesting article which suggests that a change from the Cyrillic to the Latin script may come to pass in Kazakhstan: EurasiaNet Civil Society - Kazakhstan: Moving Forward with Plan to Replace Cyrillic with Latin Alphabet I really don’t know how to evaluate the claims in that article. But it does point out some interesting facts about the spread of the Latin script in several post-Soviet states: While Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan acted quickly after the 1991 Soviet collapse to embrace Latin script, Kazakhstan took a more cautious route: it did not want to alienate its large Russian-speaking population. Rather than research this myself, I thought I’d ask the lazyweb: Where else is the Latin script spreading?
