<<< The Arabic script was traditionally used to write Kyrgyz before the introduction of the first Latin-based alphabets in 1927. Today an Arabic alphabet is used in China.[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrgyz_alphabets#cite_note-1> The Uniform Turkic Alphabet <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Turkic_Alphabet> was used in the USSR <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USSR> in the 1930s until its replacement by a Cyrillic script. The Kyrgyz Cyrillic alphabet is the alphabet used in Kyrgyzstan. It contains 36 letters: 33 from the Russian alphabet with 3 additional letters for sounds of the Kyrgyz language: Ң, Ү, Ө.
As I am not at all an expert in the language, I would ask any participants with active knowledge of it to confirm that.
