Kazakh during script transition, and the Russian-Kazakh bilingual reality
Kazakhstan is in the middle of a Cyrillic-to-Latin script transition; for now, Cyrillic remains the active orthography and most published material is bilingual Kazakh-Russian. Whisper handles Kazakh in Cyrillic with the language's nine additional letters beyond standard Russian Cyrillic.
Standard Kazakh and the major regional varieties are supported in Cyrillic.
