By 2025, Kazakhs are planning to completely switch from Cyrillic to Latin script. Which gives us some entertaining quirks. Although in the Cyrillic version it's an innocent "Sәbіz" (carrot 🥕) :)

Though for now the transition isn't very noticeable: practically all signs and announcements are still in Cyrillic. Often even road signs in Latin script don't have duplicates. Let's see what they end up with. The Azerbaijanis seem to have pulled it off.
