Iranian Turkic alphabet

The Iranian Turkic alphabet of the Iranian Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan is an officially Arabic script and an unofficially Latin script alphabet used for writing the Turkic dialects in Iran.

Officially in Iran, the Arabic script is used to write the Iranian Turkic dialects. While there have been a few standardization efforts, the orthography and the set of letters used differs widely among Iranian Turk writers, with at least two major branches, the orthography used by Behzad Behzadi and the Azari magazine, and the orthography used by the Varlyq magazine (both are quarterlies published in Tehran).
