Cyrillic : яңа имля; Tatar for "new orthography") was a modified variant ofArabic script that was in use forTatar language in 1920-1927. The orthographical reform modifiedİske imlâ , abolishing excess Arabic letters, adding letters for short vowels e, ı, ö, o. Some diacritic, that looked likecomma was used to designate thevowel harmony . This, however, broke languages involved, and this reform was applied to some other Turkic languages as well, apart from standard Arabic orthography where vowels in the middle of a word are denoted only withharakat . Whether Yaña imla orİske imlâ better fit Tatar language as an Arabic alphabet is debatable. Standard Arabic orthography provided more similar orthography between Turkic languages due to the use of harakat. Arguably, Yaña imlâ had as its goal the accommodation of the alphabet to the actual Tatar pronunciation.There were some projects that were to simplify Yaña imlâ too. The unique "separated Arabic" was invented (so as to use typewriters). Separated Arabic were even incorporated to the early flag of
Tatar ASSR . But it wasn't in real use.As early as in 1924 the first projects of Latin alphabet were introduced and in 1928 alphabet was switched to Latin-based
