Language Proposal

Bazakhstan’s diversity and rich regional cultures should all be respected when this language proposal is implemented in the nation. This proposal has taken more care to respect the differences of the regional tribes, while still attempting to unify the nation.

The exposure of the language is also prevalent throughout the entire nation because of the influence of the Bazakhstan government. Even though the population of Bolgars is much less than the rest of the other groups, it is the political power that they hold that allows their language to be respected by the others.

It will take some time to get these two groups to respect the
