| | Turkmen alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 1940, the Soviet Union's influence in Turkmenistan prompted a switch to a Cyrillic alphabet, and a modified Turkmen Cyrillic alphabet (shown below in the table alongside the Latin) was created. | | | At the start of the 20th century, when Turkmen first started to be written, it used the Arabic script, but in 1928 the Latin alphabet was adopted. | | | Turkmen is still often written with an adapted Arabic alphabet in other countries where the language is spoken and where the Arabic script is dominant (such as Afghanistan). |

| | Accented letters are one of the possible ways of repairing the inadequacies of the Latin alphabet and thus solving this problem. | | | The Latin alphabet did well enough in representing the phonological system of Latin, but faces a problem whenever it is to be used for a language whose phonetics involves sounds that Latin did not have. | | | The present discussion is restricted to the Latin alphabet, and to recognized orthographies that are in general everyday use. |

| | Moreover, we use the Latin alphabet, so that the language is read without difficulty. | | | The different positions are possible because of Latin inflections. | | | Latin is probably the easiest of the older languages for speakers of English to learn, both because of their earlier relationship and because of the long use of Latin as the language of educational, ecclesiastical, legal and political affairs in western culture. |

| | Alphabet Transitions: Chronology of the New Latin Script |
| | At this conference, the conclusion was reached that, given the sound patterns in the Turkic languages, Latin was the optimal alphabet to express these sounds. | | | Each year, the textbooks for the next higher level are printed in Azeri Latin (the project has reached the fifth level now). | | | In 1928, a committee known as "Yeni Alif" (New Alphabet) was established in Moscow to deal with alphabet issues, and that same year, Latin was adopted for all the Turkic people of the USSR (Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrghyzstan and Uzbekistan). |

| | Latin alphabet - Psychology Central |
| | In the course of its history, the Latin alphabet was adapted for use for new languages, some of which had phonemes which were not used in languages previously written with this alphabet, and therefore extensions were created as needed. | | | The Finnish alphabet and collating rules are the same as in Swedish, except for the addition of the letters Š and Ž, which are considered variants of S and Z. In French and English, characters with diaeresis (ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ) are usually treated just like their un-accented versions. | | | It is generally held that the Latins adopted the western variant of the Greek alphabet in the 7th century BC from Cumae, a Greek colony in southern Italy. |

| | 10.1 Alphabet Issues - Orthography Conference on Arabic Script Held in Tehran - by Ebrahim Rafraf |
| | Some want to move toward the Latin-based alphabet that the Republic has adopted, as they find it much easier to learn, and more progressive, given the inevitable impact of English and other Latin-based languages on access to information and knowledge on the Internet. | | | This same alphabet was also used in the Republic of Azerbaijan (Northern Azerbaijan) up until 1923, when a modified Latin script was officially adopted. | | | Since the Persian script is still used extensively, we should promote its capabilities and establish the necessary standards of writing as long as it is legally in force, even though the consonant-oriented Persian alphabet is hardly adequate for effectively representing the highly developed vowel structure of the Azeri language. |

| | Alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although manual alphabets are a direct continuation of the local alphabet (both the British two-handed and the French/American one-handed alphabets retain the forms of the Latin alphabet, as the does Devanagari, and the does Hangul), Braille, semaphore, maritime signal flags, and the Morse codes are essentially arbitrary geometric forms. | | | However, languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, so the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language. | | | All five of these appear to be graphically independent of the other alphabets of the world, but they were devised from their example. |
