On 9 January 1926 the arabic letters were replaced with latin letters (three times: in usbek, in russian and in tadjik)

The constitution of 1927 did not change the flag, but in 1931 the Tadjik ASSR was separated from Uzbekistan. The 103rd article of the constitution of 1931 described the flag without the letters in tadjik. The letters are not the same type as those pictured by Sokolov, but those pictured by Sokolov and Ivanov in the flags of 1937 and 1941 also aren't the same. The change of the alphabet was reflected in the new flag hoisted in January of 1935 in the XV Congress of the Soviets.

In the 1937 Constitution, the design was changed, and the complete name of the republic was established. The uzbek writing (latin alphabet) was exchanged for the new alphabet in 1940 and on 16 January 1941 a Decree by the Supreme Soviet of the republic established a new flag.
