Turkish alphabet

The current Turkish alphabet used for the Turkish language replaced the earlier arabic alphabet and was created at the initative of Kemal Atatürk by borrowing different Latin characters in 1928. The letter Ö was taken from the Swedish alphabet because the Swedish interpreter from the Dragoman House (ambassador house) was assigned to the committee creating the new writing language.

Letters

A, B, C, Ç, D, E, F, G, Ğ, H, I, İ, J, K, L, M, N, O, Ö, P, R, S, Ş, T, U, Ü, V, Y, Z

Note that dotted and undotted I are quite separate letters, each with its own uppercase and lowercase form. I is the capital form of ı, and İ is the capital form of i. The Turkish alphabet has no q, w or x. Instead, those characters are written as k, v and ks.
