     By this time the Latin Alphabet had been adopted officially by four Turkish-speaking nations: the Azerbaijānīs, the Yakuts, and two small North-Caucasian communities called the Balqars and the Qarachays. Its official adoption in Türkmenistan followed as from February and March 1928.

   • 1979, Walter B. Denny, Oriental Rugs, pages 91–92:

     The Turkoman nomads of Central Asia, who today inhabit the Türkmen Soviet Socialist Republic (Türkmenistan) and the northern parts of Iran and Afghanistan (map 5, see page 92), represent perhaps the archetypical weaving society. […] There are virtually no rugs of significance produced today in Türkmenistan, and the Turkoman tribes who live in Iran and Afghanistan, while they still weave the red rugs, have like all nomadic peoples changed both their lifestyle and their weaving style under the pressures of modern society.
