Additional information

Kazakhstan's shift to Latin script for the Kazakh language was decreed by President Nursultan Nazarbayev in 2017, part of a broader cultural repositioning away from Cyrillic — itself a Soviet-era imposition that replaced an earlier Latin alphabet used briefly in the 1930s. The coinage followed as a matter of course, with this type serving as one of the more visible everyday carriers of the new orthography.

The transition has been gradual by design, with parallel Cyrillic and Latin signage remaining common across Kazakhstan well into the 2020s.
