Uzbek Keyboard Layout for Linux

A typographically correct keyboard layout for Uzbek, featuring 2023 alphabet updates and quick access to special characters.

Layouts

This package provides four keyboard layout variants:

• Uzbek (Standard): The main layout with full typographic control.
  • Uses the correct ʻOkina (U+02BB) for Oʻ/Gʻ and Modifier Apostrophe (U+02BC) for the tutuq belgisi.
  • Access to additional characters like Ŏ, Ğ, Ş, Ç, İ using the AltGr key.
• Uzbek (US): The standard US QWERTY layout with essential Uzbek characters available via AltGr.
  • AltGr + ' → ʻ (Okina)
  • AltGr + ` → ʼ (Tutuq belgisi)
• Uzbek (2023): Based on the proposed 2023 alphabet update with single-character letters.
  • W → Ş/ş
  • [ → Õ/õ
  • ] → Ğ/ğ
• Uzbek (Cyrillic): A Cyrillic variant of the Uzbek keyboard layout.
