Requested move[edit]

See talk at Talk:Kyrgyz SSR. 'Kirghiz' was the naming used during soviet times. --Soman (talk) 07:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support for reasons there. English maps of the day spelled it "Kirghiz". Snocrates 07:42, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support contemporary usage; no evidence that the present Kyrgyz is used retrospectively. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support The Oxford English Dictionary only recognises Kirghiz. DrKiernan (talk) 13:04, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
