Official spelling rules of the Crimean Tatar language come out as a two-book set, to be distributed by the National Assembly

The official spelling rules of the Crimean Tatar language have been printed as a standalone publication. It was prepared in Ukraine and consists of two books, one in Crimean Tatar and one in Ukrainian, supplied as a set in a special box designed by the Crimean Tatar artist Rustem Skibin.

The Crimean Tatar National Commission approved the rules on 4 November 2024, and the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers adopted them on 4 April 2025 under decision No. 307-r. Distribution of the books will be handled by the Crimean Tatar National Assembly (KTMM).

The print run is limited, so copies will go to people and organizations that file an application form in advance. Priority goes to universities, secondary and preschool schools, libraries, teachers, linguists, philology students, translators, journalists and civil society groups that actively use the language. KTMM stresses that an application does not guarantee a copy and each request will be reviewed separately. The rules are also meant to be published online later.
