==== Soviet alphabet ====
In 1933, the [[Soviet Union]] adopted a Latin-based alphabet for Balochi as follows:

{| cellpadding=4 style="font-size:large; text-align: center;" summary="Thirty one letters of the Balochi Latin alphabet, lowercase" align=center
|+ style="font-size:smaller;" | '''The Balochi alphabet in Latin'''

|{{lang|bal-Latn|d}}
|{{lang|bal-Latn|ᶁ}}

|{{lang|bal-Latn|w}}
|{{lang|bal-Latn|x}}
|{{lang|bal-Latn|z}}
|{{lang|bal-Latn|ƶ}}
|}

The alphabet was used for several texts, including children's books, newspapers, and ideological works. In 1938, however, the official use of Balochi was discontinued.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Axenov |first=Sergei |title=Language in Society: Eight Sociolinguistic Essays on Balochi |date=2000 |isbn=91-554-4679-5 |series=Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis.
