"Qazaqsa" is simply the Kazakh name of the Kazakh language, written in the proposed Latin alphabet. We don't need a separate article for that. This should be turned into a redirect, either to Kazakh language as an {{R from native name}}, or to Kazakh alphabets, which discusses the Latin variant at length. – Uanfala (talk) 11:59, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And as I mentioned in my vote below, "Qazaqsa" is not even the Kazakh name of the Kazakh language, written in the proposed Latin alphabet. That would be "qazaq tili". "Qazaqsha" would be the correct spelling to mean "in Kazakh", so you see the name of this article is both misspelled and has the wrong claimed meaning.

Merge to Kazakh language. This appears to be a variant of the same language, not a separate topic. The 2017 & 2018 legal specifications of the Latin orthography bear merging, as perhaps does general discussion of the orthographic scheme. addendum: Merge to Kazakh alphabets, which already describes Latin script, may be preferable.

As I mentioned in my vote below, the Latin alphabet shown in this "Qazaqsa" article is not the correct one that was approved by the government on Kazakhstan in February 2018. Selerian (talk) 21:46, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just delete this extraneous article, and we don't even need a redirect. Because the name of this article is wrong. Qazaqsa is not the name of any language, and it does not mean writing in Kazakh using the Latin alphabet. In Kazakh language, qazaqsha (қазақша) just means "in Kazakh". The name of the Kazakh language itself is qazaq tili (қазақ тілі). Please do not use the term Qazaqsa, it is not used anywhere or by anyone at all, to mean what the article claims that it means. Additionally, the Latin alphabet shown in this article is not the correct one that was approved in February 2018. And any useful historical information in this article is already present in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakh_language#Writing_system Selerian (talk) 21:46, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
