Abstract
The study aims to address the potential challenges, advantages and disadvantages associated with the implementation of the Cyrillic-to-Latin script transition strategy based on the experience of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The lack of financial resources, increased resistance in society, and the prospect of a cultural gap between the older and younger generations were obstacles to the transition. In terms of the political situation, factors such as the multinationalism of the Kyrgyzstani population, the prospect of reviving national consciousness and the political will of the leadership were noted. In terms of education, the switch to Latin was seen as a way to speed up the learning of English and to have a positive impact on the development of information technology. From an economic point of view, the transition could lead to a boost in the development of information technology and the printing industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
