TURKMEN is national language + HE primary medium (Latin script since 1993, abandoning Cyrillic Soviet-era); RUSSIAN continues in HE especially STEM + medicine; ENGLISH growing in elite institutions. ⚠️ CRITICAL CONTEXT: Turkmen HE system was DEVASTATED during Niyazov era 1991-2006 (universities reduced to 2-year programs from Soviet 5-year, replaced curriculum with personality-cult content + Ruhnama required reading, ~14,000 Soviet-era academic texts banned). Partial Soviet-era HE restoration under Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov 2006+. ⚠️ STUDENTS: Verify current operational status before applying — Turkmenistan is one of world's MOST CLOSED COUNTRIES, foreign academic verification difficult.
