Interesting. Does that mean that the Cyrilic is being replaced by the<BR>
Latin alphabet, at least in the internet community? I noticed that the<BR>
Chinese did a similar thing in 1960s (or may be even earlier) and using<BR>
Latin alphabet instead of Chinese characters.<BR>

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....<BR>
