Common Turkic Alphabet Commission Publishes Statement on New Alphabet
The Turkic World Common Alphabet Commission recently announced the completion of the Common Turkic Alphabet, which consists of 34 letters and aims to unify communication among Turkic peoples. In a statement released after a meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan, the commission highlighted the importance of considering the unique linguistic features of Turkic languages in the development of the alphabet.
According to the statement, the commission carefully analyzed the phonetic diversity of Turkic languages to create an alphabet that maximizes intelligibility and ease of learning. The project, which has been in development since 1991, aims to unify the alphabet and terminology across Turkic-speaking countries.
The commission’s statement also emphasized the need for special characters to accurately represent sounds that are not found in the basic Latin alphabet. The main goal of the declaration is to formalize the acceptance of the Latin-based Common Turkic Alphabet and encourage support from relevant stakeholders.
The Common Turkic Alphabet includes letters that correspond to specific phonemes, making it easier for speakers of Turkic languages to learn and use. The commission hopes that the new alphabet will enhance communication and promote unity among Turkic peoples.
The commission’s statement called on all member states and observers of the Organization of Turkic States to support the adoption of the Common Turkic Alphabet. The alphabet will be distributed to relevant institutions to facilitate its implementation across the Turkic world.
Overall, the commission’s work on the Common Turkic Alphabet represents a significant step towards linguistic unity and cultural preservation among Turkic-speaking communities. The new alphabet reflects a commitment to inclusivity and respect for the diverse linguistic heritage of the Turkic peoples.
