Summary/Abstract: To date, there is an urgent need to establish common alphabet for Turkic peoples for the written media, book publishing and for the flow of documents. The adopting the Latin alphabet in its pure form is impossible because there are specific sounds (hard and soft consonants) in Turkic languages, which are not reflected in the Latin letter. Creation of a common alphabet should be done through the development of a unified interstate standards. The standard will define rules for using the Latin alphabet. Turkish people are gradually moving to the Latin alphabet. And this transition is inevitable. Researchers must ensure that all the Turkic languages for each sound must be the same graphic sign.
