Interestingly, Kemal Atatürk made similar reforms in Turkey after the end of the Ottoman Empire.
He abolished the use of the Arabic script and introduced a new Turkish script based on the Latin alphabet.
His reasoning was the same one used in this article. But there were other goals too, like promoting Turkish nationalism against a wider Muslim identity.
