Notes

^1 Only in Russian loanwords.

^2 Combinations [jɑ] / [jæ], [jɤ] / [je], [ju] / [jy] are written Я я, Е е, Ю ю respectively.

^3 [q] and [ʁ] are written normally К к and Г г, and only in a few words къ and гъ.

^4 Combinations [qæ] / [ʁæ] and [qø] / [ʁø] are written ка/га and ко/го respectively.

^5 Only in Arabic loanwords, written ь between a consonant and a vowel, and э after a vowel.

^6 Tatar uses a combination of г / к + ый to indicate Voiced uvular fricative (ğ), and Voiceless uvular plosive (q), respectively, because unlike in Bashkurt, Tatar lacks the Cyrillic letters ғ and ҡ (ğ and q in the Latin script). The Cyrillic letters г and к are used to indicate both k / g and q / ğ in Tatar. Therefore, the spelling of гый / кый in the Tatar Latin script is ği / qi.
