Romanization of Kyrgyz

The Kyrgyz language is written in the Kyrgyz alphabet, a modification of Cyrillic. There is no commonly accepted system of romanization for Kyrgyz, i.e. a rendering of Kyrgyz in the Latin alphabet, although a system based on the Turkish alphabet is gaining currency. Some Kyrgyz romanization systems are given below:
