Abstract

The article discusses issues that should be taken into account in forming the basic rules of the Kazakh
language and orthography when transmitting the Kazakh language to the Latin script, and provides suggestions regarding the last approved Kazakh alphabet based on the Latin script. In general, we think that
some letters of the alphabet approved during the survey were identified as ineffective in the world context and are not suitable for our writing culture, and we suggest international letters instead. We pay your
attention on alphabet and pairing sounds’ arrangement, print type, writing form and pronunciation and
recommend them to use. As some letters have similar characters and can be aligned in writing, there are
some difficulties in reading them. Therefore, there is a need to create an alphabet with the principle «one
sound, one letter». We also have to pay more attention to the importance of writing literally. In our alphabet, we have not only the extra letters came from Soviet era, but also many inconsistencies between
spelling and pronunciation. That is why we gave some recommendations for the correct spelling rules.
