In 1929 , a Uniform Turkic Alphabet was introduced to replace the until then used variety of the Arabic Alphabet . Because Stalin wished to sever the ties between the Republic Of Turkey and the Turkic Peoples living within the Soviet Union , he decreed that only the Cyrillic alphabet might be used. When the Soviet Union collapsed and Azerbaijan gained its independence, one of the first laws passed in the new Parliament was the adoption of a modified Latin alphabet. In Iranian Azerbaijan (Southern Azerbaijan), the Arabic alphabet is still in use.

TRANSLITERATION The Arabic, Latin, and Cyrillic alphabets each have a different sequence of letters. The table below is ordered according to the latest Latin alphabet: An interesting fact about the alphabet is that the Schwa (Ə ə) was selected to represent the sound /æ/, as opposed to a more logical alternative (schwa is absent in most Word Processor s and causes problems in Turkish Encoding ), such as Ä ä (used in Tatar ), chiefly due to national pride because Ə ə existed in both post-Arabic alphabets of Azerbaijan.
