Is that "minimum"?

palordrolap@fedia.io · 14 pts · 1y

Yes. And we can read that because we've a passing familiarity with Latin cursive. I assume Cyrillic readers can make sense of the Russian example, even if we're clueless.

Where cyrillic or georgian script

Cyrilllic is bulgarian in origin, but I think this picture describes eastern asian scripts (there are other cool ones among those, like tamil).

I thought Kazakhstan switched to Latin script

The transition is still undergoing. Takes a while to switch.
