The Uyghur New Script (ئۇيغۇر يېڭى يېزىقى, Uyghur yëngi yëziqi) 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.
It was devised around 1959 and came to replace the Uyghur Cyrillic alphabet, which had also 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 Arabic alphabet, in 1982, there has been a huge decline in the use and the majority of Uyghurs today use the Arabic script.[1] For romanized Uyghur, the ISO/IEC 8859-1 compliant Uyghur Latin alphabet has become more common than the New Script.[2] The letters in the Uyghur New Script are, in order:
