Emphatic Arabic Letters[edit]

In the table of pre-1950 letters you do not include emphatic letters ص ض ط ظ, but in one of the examples (ينگي حصار) you use one of them. Maybe these should be added to the table together with the appropriate phonetic realizations?

?[edit]

Are you sure "latin" and "ULY" are in the good place in the table ? Because Ə ə Ɵ ɵ and Ƣƣ are not latin letters for me :/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.2.79.161 (talk) 08:35, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ه‍ (ə) and ه‍ (h)[edit]

one thing that I do not understand so far is how these letters can work. They have the same shape, don't they? Isn't there any danger of mixing them up? --Man77^talk 23:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You got the wrong letters. The letters in the table are different and can be distingushed. -- Prince Kassad (talk) 14:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They were same during the Ottoman time. If it is "ə", the letter, comes after it, will not connect to it, otherwise it will. --78.181.12.243 (talk) 09:12, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name of this article[edit]

I doubt very much that the name of this article is useful to most readers of the Wikipedia. This should probably be merged within an article about Uighur writing systems in general, as it is a stub. -- Evertype·✆ 15:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

K̡ona Yezik̡[edit]

I think it's Kona Yezik̡ because now it is spelling as "Kona yéziq". K̡=q. --78.181.12.243 (talk) 09:08, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incomprehensible text[edit]

This addition by Verdy p is practically incomprehensible at all. The user either should explain what it does really mean and then it has to be rephrased, or it should be deleted.--Lüboslóv Yęzýkin (talk) 00:39, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Date of usage[edit]

PericlesofAthens, Hello, I just wanted to inform you that the Arabic alphabet used to write the Karluk language ancestral to modern Uyghur was used by the Muslim Kara-Khanid Khanate which existed side by side with the Buddhist Old Uyghur Kingdom of Qocho and Gansu Uyghur Kingdom which used the Old Uyghur alphabet to write the Old Uyghur language. The Muslim Chagatai Khanate later absorbed the Kingdom of Qocho and converted its inhabitants to Islam and linguistically "Karlukified" them. Its not correct to say that the Arabic alphabet was used subsequently (although the modern reformed one certainly was). If you look at Old Uyghur language and the modern Uyghur language, there are reliable sources explaining how they are two different languages from two different branches of the Turkic language family and the Old Uyghur langauge is not ancestral to modern Uyghur language.Rajmaan (talk) 19:10, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! Cool. Thanks for the explanation. Feel free to change my edit. Cheers. Pericles of Athens^Talk 19:13, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
