The article deals with the discussion of the issues of changing the alphabet and switching to the Latin script of the Kazakh language. The question of switching to the Latin alphabet becomes one of the most urgent. The Kazakh public is widely discussing the issue of changing the alphabet and switching to the Latin script of the Kazakh language. All participants of the discussion unreservedly accept the idea of transition to the Latin alphabet and support it warmly. The Uyghurs of Kazakhstan and other CIS countries, as well as Europe and the United States, where the Uyghurs live, did not stand aside. All Uyghurs living in the territories of the former Soviet republics are guided by the language norms of the Uyghurs of Kazakhstan in questions of the literary language. This is due, first of all, to the problems of the alphabet. We all use Cyrillic, while in Xinjiang Uyghurs (and Kazakhs) use an alphabet based on Arabic graphics. The proposed "Apostrophe" version of Kazakh Latin is primarily focused on the computer base of aspects of romanization does not take into account other important aspects related to the change of the alphabet. Meanwhile, there are several aspects that can not be ignored when considering questions about the alphabet, and actually about the language as a whole.
