A lot of changes in Kazakhstan. They are also changing their alphabet from Cyrillic to Latin-based: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16925646


Ironically, this reform was started under the previous 30-year president, "father of nation" Nazarbayev in 2018 or '19, and was halted under Tokayev. Some signs in the streets were converted before the reform was finalized, but not all. And now if you deal with e-government website, everything is in Cyrillic. Kazakh UI of the website is still in Cyrillic too. I haven't seen a single Kazakh price tag in Latin yet.
