first latin alphabet was using "y" as feminine "u", with additional feminine "o" ("ө") and with additional consonants "ç" for "ch", "ş" for "sh" and "ƶ" for "j", it successfully served in printing books and newspapers. a few of the letters (f, k, p, v) were rarely used, being found only in borrowings, while q, w and x were excluded altogether. since "k" transcribed in loans, it is unclear how loans in were written. "j" is used for vowel combinations of the [ja] type. letter "c" is used for the sound [ts] and "k" is used for the sound [h]. the first version was inspired by the yanalif script used for the soviet union's turkic languages.
