The article examines the modern Bashkir alphabet, which is based on the Cyrillic alphabet. The Cyrillic alphabet was used to write Bashkir words even before the Great October Revolution of 1917. Thus, the Russian educator of the 19th century V. V. Katarinsky in his Bashkir ABC proposed an alphabet of the Bashkir language, which was developed on the basis of the Russian letters. The author gives detailed characteristics of the Bashkir alphabet letters, phonemes and allophones.
Key words: Bashkir writing, alphabet, Cyrillic, grapheme, letter, sound, phoneme.
