Until 1928, Lezgin was written in Arabic script, which was taught in religious schools.
In 1911, a slightly modified version of this alphabet was published as a primer[1] used in secular schools.
In 1928, under the Soviet Union's process of Romanization, a Lezgin Latin alphabet was created and this was altered in 1932.
In 1938, as with most other Soviet languages, a new Cyrillic alphabet was created for Lezgin.
Changes after its introduction include adding the letter Ё ё and replacing Уӏ уӏ with Уь уь.
