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. After the fall of Soviet Union this superseded previous versions based on Cyrillic and Arabic scripts.

South Azerbaijani, the language spoken in Iran’s Azerbaijan region, is written in a modified Arabic script since Safavid Empire.^[1]

Azerbaijanis of Dagestan still use the Cyrillic script.^{[2][better source needed]}
