President of Kazakhstan Qasym-Jomart Toqaev, speaking at the 10th congress of the international "Qazaq Tili" society, said the potential of the state language must be strengthened by expanding quality and engaging Kazakh-language content in the digital space, the website infohub.kz reports.
According to the head of state, a language's potential grows when people search for information in it, watch films and receive an education in it. That is why he named saturating the digital environment with quality and engaging Kazakh-language content as one of the most important tasks.
"A highly relevant task is to increase the number of IT products, as well as films and games, aimed at developing children's speech," the President of Kazakhstan said.
Qasym-Jomart Toqaev stressed that the reach of information in the Kazakh language — or, in modern terms, the scale of Kazakh-language content — must be as broad as possible.
"It is necessary to create quality products on topical subjects in science, technology, culture, entrepreneurship, sport and other areas. On the whole, the state should provide concrete support for such projects. A special working group could be set up on this matter," he said.
