The Future of Kyrgyzstan in the State Language
The state language is the language that is used in the country conducting official documents and court cases, in secondary schools, secondary specialized and higher educational institutions.
On September 3, 1989, the Supreme Council of the Kyrgyz SSR adopted the Law on the State Language of the Kyrgyz SSR, after which the Kyrgyz language was given the status of the state language.
In 2004, this law was updated by the Legislative Assembly of the Jogorku Kenesh, where the Kyrgyz language was declared the state language and Russian the official language. On April 2, 2004, the law “On the state language of the Kyrgyz Republic” was signed. With the declaration of the Kyrgyz language as the state language, it received public support, and the fact that our native language is under state protection raised its reputation to a higher level.
The peoples of the world have recognized us as a nation and state. Competing with technology in the era of globalization, the Kyrgyz language has also found its place in all spheres of society, even on the Internet, we create opinions in our native language. Our ancestors passed on the culture, native language, and statehood of our people from generation to generation. They brought to us a whole ocean of oral folk art – the epic “Manas”.
