| | Crimean Turks Adopt Latin Alphabet |
 | | As Edige Kirimal wrote in his book, "The National Struggle of the Crimean Tartars," beginning in 1921 --when the autonomous Crimean Republic was established-- the Bolsheviks tried to isolate the Crimean Tartars from the rest of the Turkic world. | | | This month, ethnic Tartars in Crimea, in the eastern Ukraine, decided to adopt the Latin alphabet. | | | This change in alphabets has been more symbolic than actual in the other newly independent states. |

| | The Cyrillic alphabet had been in use in Azerbaijan since 1939. | | | Azerbaijan’s position today is arguably as precarious as ever: a political resolution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains elusive, the economy continues to languish and regional tension has risen recently because of disagreements over control of natural resources in disputed areas of the Caspian Sea. | | | For a decade prior to 1939, Azerbaijan had used Latin letters, which had replaced Arabic script in 1929. |

| | Latin is probably the easiest of the older languages for speakers of English to learn, both because of their earlier relationship and because of the long use of Latin as the language of educational, ecclesiastical, legal and political affairs in western culture. | | | By far the greatest number of similar words are found in technical language, where English simply took over the Latin terms as industrial, political and technological affairs became more complex, especially in the last several centuries; ecclesiastical terms were taken over as England was christianized. | | | On the other hand, the sentence structure and number of forms require a great deal of attention, since the words of sentences are placed for their emphasis, rather than in accordance with a pattern like that of the English Subject-Verb-Object sentence. |
