Interesting point. I am not up on the latest latinization flaps, but I believe some of the southern 'stans are in fact dropping Cyrllic and spelling Turkic stuff in Latin letters. Danged if I can remember which 'stans this applies to; not Bashkortostan at least....

DoreneC who also types too slowly in Cyrillic --- Tatarstan tried it, but it became illegal to use Latin characters when writing Tatar last year.
