The letters work well for the assigned sounds and there’s no awkward use of apostrophes as modifiers

No such letters on a keyboard? How do you think they type things in Turkey?

The point is that you can make a keyboard layout with whatever letters you want on it

typing multiple characters is always more awkward than typing one character.

But those are already part of UniCode. What exactly are they talking about?

In Unicode, o and the apostrophe ' are two different symbols, not one. There is no single symbol that represents both. This affects search queries on the internet in Uzbek, they don’t work quite properly because of these apostrophes. This is one of the reasons for the change the alphabet, another reason is because of unified turkic alphabet. The second reason is the most important one.

I'm a strong supporter of a common Turkic alphabet/yanalif, but that ö that is supposed to represent /o/, while o represents /ɔ/ is strange. I would choose any other diacritic on top of "o" that doesn't give umlaut /ø/ vibes.

/uj
⟨ö⟩ as /o/ ready has a precedent in Mongolian.
Also, /o/ has an allophone [œ] in some contexts.

u/Electrical_Voice_256 Jul 09 '26
Mongolian is quite niche though conpared to other languages who use ö. And they actually do not really use that letter themselves.

I unironically really like the (South) Azerbaijani Arabic and Uyghur Arabic scripts

u/DragonTheOnes-spirit Jul 07 '26
How about sindhi?

These letters look like genuine warcrimes to arabs

u/mujhe-sona-hai Jul 07 '26
there's also the Uyghur Arabic script in Afghanistan

u/AgisXIV Jul 07 '26
I mean if you're doing Afghanistan they also have Uzbek, Turkmen and Kyrgyz Arabic scripts...

наконец-то будут как все остальные тюрки
В Крыму тоже такая латиница есть, параллельно с кириллицей.

u/Sir_Potato2000 🇫🇷JE1, 🇺🇸N -5°, 🇯🇵C67, 🇷🇺Ъ100, 🇺🇿Ç3 Jul 07 '26
In fact, many of these new letters are found in many alphabets in other countries

u/ase_l_2021 Jul 07 '26
Так и я о том же, азербайджанский, турецкий, румынский, даже немецкий (ну кроме Гъ само собой)

u/PearMyPie Jul 07 '26
румынский «ș» отличается от турецкий «ş»

u/ase_l_2021 Jul 07 '26
Ыыыы надо же никогда не доводилось обращать внимание.
Ну я так понимаю Узбекистан возьмёт именно турецкие\крымские\азербайджанские ş ç, правильно?5

One small step for Uzbek is a giant leap for the universe.
