Notes on the use of the transliteration table
- Use the letter v for the so-called hamza which appears both initially and internally before vowels (vuyghur “Uyghur”, chätväl “foreign country”) on top of what looks like an undotted i in the Uyghur script.
- Apply an apostrophe in order to distinguish the single letter ng from a sequence of n plus g if necessary (n’g).
