Uyghur New Script


Uyghur Yëngi Yëziqi or Uyƣur Yengi Yeziⱪi, is a Latin alphabet, with both Uniform Turkic Alphabet and Pinyin influence, used for writing the Uyghur language between 1965 and 1982, primarily by Uyghurs living in China, although the use of Uyghur Arabic alphabet is much more widespread.
It was devised around 1959 and came to replace the Cyrillic-derived alphabet Uyghur Siril Yëziqi which had been used in China after the proclamation of the People's Republic of China in 1949. It is still an official alphabet in China, but after the reintroduction of an Arabic-derived alphabet, Uyghur Ereb Yëziqi, in 1982, there has been a huge decline in the use and the majority of Uyghurs today use Uyghur Ereb Yëziqi. For romanized Uyghur, the Latin script Uyghur Latin Yëziqi has become more common than Uyghur Yëngi Yëziqi.
