Uzbek alphabet compatible with Turkic world enters into force

Kürşad Zorlu, head of Turkic States Relations, said he welcomed the entry into force of a Uzbek alphabet compatible with the Turkic world, signed by Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. Zorlu made the statement through his social media account.

In a message marking Uzbek Language Day on 21 October, Zorlu said he was very pleased that the Latin-based Uzbek alphabet had been signed into force. He added that textbooks, signs and road direction boards will be gradually renewed as their service lives end.

Zorlu said the reorganised alphabet will strengthen joint alphabet work. He said efforts would continue together to expand the influence of the language family and realise the dreams of their ancestors. He thanked Mirziyoyev and congratulated Uzbek brothers and sisters on their Language Day.
