Talk:National Anthem of the Kyrgyz Republic

message: The "Latin transctiption" heading is confusing; at first I thought it meant that it was a Latin translation. For clarity's sake, wouldn't it be better to call it "English Transliteration" or at least "Roman Alpahbet Transliteration"?

Did anyone ever do it?—and here I am, nose to the grindstone, teeth sinking into something the canteen is calling a croque-monsieur.”

if u really want to help try chat with me. i ask of this because my chemistry teacher has not taught me much, i have to manage with library textbooks when i can,my physics teacher is even worse.
