I do not think so. The only literature available in latin-uzbek are the
text-books for schools. The rest--books, news papers, magazines--is either in
cyrillic-uzbek or in russian. So, old generation is still using cyrillic
script and new generation is using both, but after school it switches to
cyrillic script anyway. I could talk about it for a long, but this ML is not
appropriate place to do so.

The point is there is a real need in cyrillic script in Uzbekistan.

Unfortunately, it does not seem it cares about it much. :-(

Cheers,
