December 1 is the Day of assumption to the Karakalpak language of the status of the state language. This day in 1989 to our native language- Karakalpak was given  this status. Today it is 29 years to this great historical event.

The reports on the issues of the history of assumption to the Karakalpak language of the status of the state language, the place of the Karakalpak language as a state language in the system of the Turkic languages, the problems we face today and ways of their solution were made by the famous scholars: Doctor of Philological sciences, People’s writer of Karakalpakstan K.Allambergenov, Candidate of Philological sciences, docent A.Pirniyazova, Candidate of Philological sciences E.
