The current official Turkmen alphabet as used in Turkmenistan is a modified Latin alphabet based on the Turkish alphabet, but with notable differences: J is used instead of the Turkish C; Ž is used instead of the Turkish J; Y is used instead of the dotless i (I/ı); Ý is used instead of the Turkish consonantal Y; and the letters Ä and Ň have been added to represent the phonetic values [æ] and [ŋ], respectively.

  • The current official Turkmen alphabet as used in Turkmenistan is a modified Latin alphabet based on the Turkish alphabet, but with notable differences: J is used instead of the Turkish C; Ž is used instead of the Turkish J; Y is used instead of the dotless i (I/ı); Ý is used instead of the Turkish consonantal Y; and the letters Ä and Ň have been added to represent the phonetic values [æ] and [ŋ], respectively. At the start of the 20th century, when Turkmen first started to be written, it used the Arabic script, but in 1928 the Latin alphabet was adopted. In 1940, the Russian influence in Soviet Turkmenistan prompted a switch to a Cyrillic alphabet, and a modified Turkmen Cyrillic alphabet (shown below in the table alongside the Latin) was created. When Turkmenistan first became independent in 1991, president Saparmurat Niyazov immediately instigated a return to the Latin alphabet. When it was first reintroduced it was supposed to contain some rather unusual letters, such as the pound, dollar, yen, and cent signs, but these were later replaced by more orthodox letter symbols. The political and social forces that have combined to bring about these changes of script, then modifications of the Latin script, have been documented by Clement (2008). Turkmen is still often written with an adapted Arabic alphabet in other countries where the language is spoken and where the Arabic script is dominant.
  • L' alphabet turkmène, inspiré de l'alphabet latin et utilisé dans la langue turkmène a remplacé en 1991 l'alphabet cyrillique qui avait cours auparavant.
  • A türkmén ábécé a türkmén nyelv latin betűs írására szolgál. A jelenlegi latin betűs ábécét 1999-ben vezették be. Az ábécé a török íráson alapul, de attól jó néhány ponton eltér. Előtte cirill írással írták, melyet 1940-ben, szovjet nyomásra vezettek be. 1928 és 1940 között egy latin írást használtak, azelőtt pedig arab írást használtak. Ez utóbbit jelenleg is használják Türkmenisztánon kívüli területeken.
  • Туркме́нский алфави́т — алфавит туркменского языка используется в Туркменистане, зарубежная диаспора использует арабский алфавит персидского стиля.
  • Türkmen alfabesi, Türkmen dilini Latin harfleri yardımı ile yazımıdır. 1993 yılında beri Türkmenistan'da kullanılmaya başlanmıştır.
