Uyghur New Script - Uyghur Language, Uyghur Arabic Script, Uyghur People, Pinyin, Cyrillic, Uyghur Cyrillic Alphabet

Uyghur Yëngi Yëziqi or Yengi Yezi , was a Pinyin-Cyrillic-Latin mixed alphabet used for writing the Uyghur language during 1965~1982, primarily by Uyghurs living in China, although the use of Uyghur Ereb Yëziqi 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.
