The Results of the New Alphabet An alphabet may be changed in a short time or over a long period. Although Turks made the
switch in one year, the Uzbek are doing it in 20 years. Both methods (fast and slow) have some
advantages and disadvantages.
The Fast Method
The new generation can learn the new alphabet in regular schools.
Public schools must be opened for the elderly. A sufficient number of teachers must first be
educated before these schools can be opened.
Typewriters should be changed or modified, if they are still being used.
IT systems must be set for the new alphabet.
All signboards and nameplates have to be changed in a short time.
