Uzbek

In May 1995 a new Roman alphabet was officially decreed for the Uzbek language, amending the alphabet adopted earlier, in 1993. The Roman alphabet is now in parallel use with the Cyrillic alphabet. Full implementation of it has been postponed to the year 2005 (Report by the Convenor of the Working Group on Romanization Systems. UNGEGN, 18th Session. Geneva, 12-23 August 1996. WP No. 21).
