A complete bilingual edition of "Spelling of the Crimean Tatar Language" has been published in Ukraine. Due to the limited print run, copies will be distributed to educational institutions, libraries, and specialists based on prior requests.
This was announcedby Refat Chubarov, Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People.
Priority in processing requests will be given to preschool, general secondary, and higher education institutions; libraries; teachers; linguists; students of philology; translators; journalists, and civil society organizations that directly use the Crimean Tatar language in their practical work.
The organization noted that filling out the form does not guarantee automatic receipt of a copy. According to Refat Chubarov, decisions will be made after all applications have been reviewed, with priority given to those who can confirm a genuine need for the publication.

The Mejlis also promised to facilitate the prompt publication of the spelling guide on relevant online resources.
The publication includes the spelling rules approved by the National Commission on the Crimean Tatar Language on November 4, 2024, and ratified by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine via a resolution dated April 4, 2025.
The set consists of two books—one in the Crimean Tatar language and one in Ukrainian—which are housed in a case designed by Crimean Tatar artist Rustem Skibin.
