Romanization of Kyrgyz

Romanization of Kyrgyz

The Kyrgyz language language is written in the Kyrgyz alphabet, a modification of the Cyrillic alphabet. There is not one commonly accepted system of romanization of Kyrgyz, i.e. a rendering of Kyrgyz in the Latin alphabet. Some Kyrgyz romanization systems are given below:

Besides these systems, one may encounter different romanizations on e.g. road signs in Kyrgyzstan. For instance, "Чок" may be romanized as "Czoc".
