L'Uzbekistan ha appena riformato il proprio alfabeto. Il presidente Shavkat Mirziyoyev ha firmato la legge sulla riforma in alfabeto latino. L'alfabeto ora comprende 28 lettere più un apice. Quattro combinazioni di lettere sono state trasformate in singole lettere: O' in Ö, G' in Ğ, Sh in Ş, Ch in Ç. La combinazione Ng è stata eliminata completamente. Saida Mirziyoyeva, che ha promosso la riforma a partire da dicembre 2023, l'ha definita una correzione di un errore storico pluriennale.
