Flags in 1926-1936

Kirghizia was ASSR only in 1926-1936. In that times kirghiz flags did not exist.

Flag of 1937

Red with in the upper hoist yellow name in serif in both Kirgiz script (?) (Kirgiz SSR I presume) and cyrillic (Kirgizskaja SSR).

Actually, it is yes kyrgyz language, but the script is latin — simply with two unusual characters that coincidently show in the very word "kyrgyz"…

In the famous book of K.Ivanov Flagi gosudarstv mira [iva71] there’s a mistaken drawing of this flag: Inscription on state flag of 1937 is not correct. Indeed, the first letter in the word "Kyrghyz" (in kyrghyz language, latin characters) is the latin letter "Q".

Flag of 1940’s

Red with in the upper hoist yellow name in serif in cyrillic [Kirgiz] (Kyrgyz SSR) and cyrillic [Russian] (Kirgizskaja SSR).
Mark Sensen, 02 Jun 1996

This flag was replaced by a new one in 1952.
