The government committee supported the approval of the alphabet of the Crimean Tatar language based on the Latin script, according to the Ministry for the Reintegration of the Occupied Territories of Ukraine, which has developed a draft act.

“The final decision will be made by the government in the near future. But today we have taken an important step to create better conditions for the preservation and development of the Crimean Tatar language.. This is a component of the systematic work that began last year "

According to the ministry, the proposed alphabet version consists of 31 letters. The project is based on the decision of the Kurultai of the Crimean Tatar people of 1991-1993.

It is also said that the project has been agreed with specialists from a number of Ukrainian institutions..

Back in 2015, the leader of the Crimean Tatars Mustafa Dzhemilev asked the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine to introduce the Crimean Tatar script in the Latin alphabet..

After the annexation of Crimea by Russia in March 2014, on the peninsula, the issue of the transition of the Crimean Tatar language from Cyrillic to Latin characters is stuck.
