RUSSIAN LANGUAGE IN THE DIGITAL SPACE OF KYRGYZSTAN

Abstract

The article examines the role and place of local and world languages in the digital development of Kyrgyzstan, with a significant focus on the interaction between the Kyrgyz and Russian languages in promoting digital technologies within the social environment. The authors suggest that, in the era of digitalization, the most promising approach to introducing high technologies into priority sectors of Kyrgyzstan's socio-economic and scientific-educational spheres is through the Russian language. Consequently, analyzing the position and role of the Russian language in the digital space of modern Kyrgyzstan emerges as a pressing issue. The article provides an overview of various digital technologies being implemented in Kyrgyzstan and analyzes the features of using both Russian and Kyrgyz languages within these technologies. It notes that the Russian language maintains a stable position in Kyrgyzstan's digital landscape, serving as a support and launching pad for integrating digital technologies into local languages. Using sociolinguistic survey methods, the authors analyze citizens' language preferences to access global digital resources and address everyday challenges.
