Since the 40&#8217;s tho the USSR&#8217;s main language was Russia, and as someone who was part of the USSR many in Kazakhstan were either forced or told to learn Russian as the primary language. Now in modern times almost 35 years after the fall of the USSR many in Kazakhstan have decided to move forward and use their national language of Kazakh to influence their social media pages as well as books and other informational texts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This news is important to the cycle of power within the -stans as many of the Central Asian countries are still jumping from pro U.S to pro China and Russia on a constant basis. If the U.S could take advantage of Kazakhstan&#8217;s uncertainty as well as many other Asian countries uncertainties we can continue to pile pressure on China and Russia&#8217;s governments and therefore gain leverage on developing parts of the African and Asian continents.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/oct\/06\/kazakhstan-drafts-media-law-to-increase-use-of-kazakh-language-over-russian\">https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/oct\/06\/kazakhstan-drafts-media-law-to-increase-use-of-kazakh-language-over-russian<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legislation in Kazakhstan met on October 6 to discuss future plans to change the language used on social media platforms in Kazakhstan, but as the week passes many doubt they will enact a law to replace Russian with Kazakh.
