Uzbek New Testament, Genesis, and Psalms (Latin) (UZBIBL)

Overview

This is the Latin-script edition of the Uzbek New Testament, Genesis, and Psalms, published in 2008 by the Institute for Bible Translation (IBT), Moscow. It is the companion volume to UZBIBT, which presents the same text in Cyrillic script. IBT began work on the Uzbek Bible in the mid-1970s in Sweden, drawing on the assistance of scholars and Uzbek speakers in Germany, Israel, and the United States, resulting in the first publication of the New Testament, Genesis, and Psalms in 1992. [1] The 2008 edition represents a thorough revision of the New Testament carried out primarily within Uzbekistan by mother-tongue Uzbek scholars working with IBT and partner organizations including SIL International, the United Bible Societies, and the Bible Society of Uzbekistan. [1] The Latin-script edition serves younger Uzbek readers, as Uzbekistan officially transitioned from Cyrillic to Latin script beginning in 1993. [2]

Language and People

Uzbek (ISO 639-3: uzb) is a Turkic language and the official language of Uzbekistan, spoken by approximately 27 million people as a first language. [3] The language uses both Latin and Cyrillic scripts; younger generations tend to prefer the Latin alphabet, while older speakers remain more comfortable with Cyrillic. [2] [Glottolog: uzb]
