Yakut alphabet (Saqalyy suruk-bičik):

Proposal
After three earlier phases of development, Yakut is currently written using the Cyrillic script: the modern Yakut alphabet, established in 1939 by the Soviet Union, consists of the usual Cyrillic characters with five additional letters for phonemes not present in Russian Ҕҕ, Ҥҥ, Өө, Һһ, Үү. The modern Yakut alphabet is as follows:

Long vowels are represented through the doubling of vowels, e.g. үүт (üüt) // 'milk,' a practice that many scholars follow in Romanizations of the language.

The full Yakut alphabet contains letters for consonant phonemes not present in native words (and thus not indicated in the table in [LINK]): the letters В, Е, Ё, Ж, З, Ф, Ц, Ш, Щ, Ъ, Ю, Я are used exclusively in Russian loanwords. In addition, in native Yakut words, the soft sign <Ь> is used exclusively in the digraphs <дь> and <нь>.

Transliteration
There are numerous conventions for the Romanization of Yakut. Bibliographic sources and libraries typically use the ALA-LC Romanization tables for non-Slavic languages in Cyrillic script. Linguists often employ Turkological standards for transliteration, or a mixture of Turkological standards and the IPA. In addition, others employ Turkish orthography. Comparison of some of these systems can be seen in the following:
