35 years ago, the Law on the State Language in Kyrgyzstan was adopted

23 september 2024

35 years ago, on September 23, 1989, a historically significant Law «On the State Language» was adopted in Kyrgyzstan. This law proclaimed the Kyrgyz language as the state language, which became an important stage in strengthening the country's national identity and cultural identity.

The adoption of the law was the result of many years of work and the desire of the Kyrgyz people to preserve and develop their native language, which for many years was influenced by other languages and cultures. The establishment of the Kyrgyz language as the state language symbolized a new stage in the development of the republic, contributing to the preservation of the rich cultural heritage and linguistic identity.

Since then, the Kyrgyz language has continued to play a key role in the social and political life of the country. The use of the Kyrgyz language is gradually increasing in the educational system and government institutions, which contributes to its popularization among all segments of the population. Today, 35 years later, the significance of this law remains relevant. The State continues to support programmes for the development and popularization of the Kyrgyz language and to create conditions for its study and use in various fields.
