Kyrgyz Cyrillic script (Ө / Ү / Ң)
Script: Cyrillic
Name: Kyrgyz (Кыргыз тили — Kyrgyz til)
Style: Cyrillic with several Turkic-specific letters
Unique letters (not used in Russian): Ң ң, Ө ө, Ү ү
Examples: Ө, Ү, Ң көл (lake) тоо (mountain) адам (person) дүкөн (shop) жол (road)
How to distinguish from nearby languages:
vs Russian: Russian does not use Ө, Ү, Ң. If you see these letters, it is not Russian.
vs Kazakh: Kazakh uses Ә, Қ, Ұ, І, which do NOT appear in Kyrgyz. Kyrgyz instead uses Ң and does not use Ә or Ұ. Shop - Дүкен (Kazakh) vs Дүкөн (Kyrgyz)
vs Mongolian: Mongolian often uses double vowels (АА, ӨӨ, ЭЭ). Kyrgyz does not use these but oo or yy are possible
Quick visual giveaway: Cyrillic text with Ө / Ү / Ң, no Ә Қ Ұ І, and no these doubled vowels (ӨӨ, ЭЭ) but yy or oo are possible= Kyrgyz.
