earlier it was reported, that the President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, said in December last year, that he proposed to completely translate the management of document management into the Kyrgyz language. This is because, that when maintaining documentation in Russian, officials often make mistakes. Japarov also added, that in the presence of quality Russian-language schools in the country, after 5-10 years, the Russian language in Kyrgyzstan will again develop.
Parliament of Kyrgyzstan adopted a law on language earlier, according to which it is supposed to significantly expand the scope of use of the Kyrgyz language in the country, in particular, government officials and the media are required to switch to it. used photos:Wikipedia
