Proposal for Revision of Uighur Romanization Table 11/05/14 A proposal to revise the Uighur romanization table has been submitted to the Library of Congress and is available for review at Uighur<http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/romanization/uighur-rev.pdf> < http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/romanization/uighur-rev.pdf > [PDF, 207 KB].
The objectives of this revision are fourfold: * 1. The existing rules were occasionally confusing and conflicting (e.g. Rule 2) and hampered reversibility (Rules 2, 6, 7, and 9). * 2. The letters "i" and "y" are distinct in Uighur and should be distinct in Romanization. * 3. Medial hamzah should be romanized ' (alif). * 4. The new table is now almost completely reversible.
