Editing Tuvan language (section)

=== Cyrillic script ===
The current Tuvan alphabet is a modified version of the [[Russian alphabet]], with three additional letters: Ңң (Latin "ng" or [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] {{IPA|[ŋ]}}), Өө (Latin "ö", {{IPA|[ø]}}), Үү (Latin "ü", IPA {{IPA|[y]}}). The sequence of the alphabet follows Russian, but with Ң located after Russian Н, Ө after О, and Ү after У.

The letters Е and Э are used in a special way. Э is used for the short {{IPA|/e/}} sound at the beginning of words while Е is used for the same sound in the middle and at the end of words. Е is used at the beginning of words, mostly of Russian origin, to reflect the standard Russian pronunciation of that letter, {{IPA|/je/}}. Additionally, ЭЭ is used in the middle and at the end of words for the long {{IPA|/e/}} sound.

The letter ъ is used to indicate pitch accent, as in эът ''èt'' 'meat'.
