How Uyghur names are written

The Uyghur Arabic alphabet is the official script in Xinjiang. It writes all vowels, including ې, ۆ, ۈ and ئ-initial forms, which makes it closer to pronunciation than many other Arabic-based scripts. Uyghur Latin (ULY) is common online and in Western countries, and Uyghur Cyrillic is still used in Central Asia. Latin forms on this site are labelled with the system they follow.
