Azerbaijani alphabet

The basic Azerbaijani alphabet used in Iran, lacking ؽ and ۆ, among others

The Azerbaijani alphabet (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan əlifbası, آذربایجان اَلیفباسؽ, Азəрбајҹан әлифбасы) has three versions which includes the Arabic, Latin, and Cyrillic alphabets.

North Azerbaijani, the official language of Republic of Azerbaijan, is written in a modified Latin alphabet. This superseded previous versions based on Cyrillic and Arabic scripts after the fall of Soviet Union.

In Iran, a modified Persian script has always been used and continues to be used for the South Azerbaijani language.[1]

Azerbaijanis of Dagestan and other parts of Russia still use the Cyrillic script.[2][better source needed]
