Reshat Sabiq's requests for two Tatar orthographic variants

[John Cowan]

"Reshat Sabiq (Re??at)" scripsit:

> 1. nta

We simply cannot use "nta".  It is too short.

> 2. janalif

It sounds like this is too specific.

> 5. nta1926

This is possible; however "new" is problematic for something 70 years old.
Also, the image

shows various 1920s and 21st-century Latin alphabets for Turkic languages.
Phrases that translate to "new (Tatar) alphabet" are used for both time
periods, though the actual alphabets are not the same.  This is another
reason not to use "new" in the name.  "panturk" is as you say not good
because "Pan-Turkic" has strong political implications.

However, the Azeri name for the 1929-39 alphabet means "uniform Turkic
alphabet", which looks promising because that name is not being used
today.  How about "uniturk"?

It's like if you meet an really old, really rich guy covered in liver
spots and breathing with an oxygen tank, and you say, "I want to be
rich, too, so I'm going to start walking with a cane and I'm going to
act crotchety and I'm going to get liver disease. --Wil Shipley
