Abstract: As the development and increasing popularity of the Internet technology in Xinjiang area in recent years, online communication such as We Chat and QQ have become more and more significant. But due to historical and geographical reasons, the Uyghur on the Internet has displayed a “One Language, Multiple Characters” characteristic, i.e., the co-existence of multiple character systems of the Old-Uyghur Alphabet, the Latin-Uyghur Alphabet, and the Cyrillic-Uyghur Alphabet. There is a lack of reasonable correspondence standard among these character systems and there is not an effective conversion tool. This has brought many problems to real world applications and greatly impaired the “One Belt and One Road” strategy of the nation. This paper investigates the origin and the current situation of the problem, as well as the correspondence standard and its problem in use. Based on the investigation, it discusses the deficiency of the correspondence standard between Uyghur and Latin-Uyghur, and provides guidance for improvement. Moreover, this paper also suggests a way of Latin-Uyghur and Cyrillic-Uyghur information retrieval implemented on a Uyghur search engine, and a way of mutual conversion among Latin-Uyghur, Cyrillic-Uyghur, and Old-Uygur.

Key words: one language multiple characters, network communication, converting of multiple characters, Latin-Uygur, Cyrillic-Uyghur
