- I can find sources talking about other Turkic languages such as Kazakh and Azerbaijani, because of course those have a history when it comes to Cyrillic. But no linguistic source that I have consulted talks about writing Turkish in Cyrillic. And the signal-to-noise ratio is so large that it is impossible to track down proper documentation of the claimed Bible. Uncle G (talk) 09:50, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - Whilst there is was apparently a phenomenon of writing Ottoman-era Turkish texts in Cyrillic alphabet (https://www.zeitschrift-fuer-balkanologie.de/index.php/zfb/article/view/223/223), it appears unrelated to this transliteration scheme presented here. No indication that there has been a Cyrillization of modern Turkish language. --Soman (talk) 22:28, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
