Turkish 2 - The Turkish alphabet

The Turkish alphabet is not hard to learn. It looks like the English alphabet, but there are some differences:

  • The Turkish alphabet does not contain the letters q, w or x
  • It also has some letters the English alphabet doesn't have: ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş and ü

The complete Turkish alphabet contains 29 characters which you can see below.

Since the special characters are difficult to type if you don't have a Turkish keyboard, you can type special characters by typing the normal character that looks like it followed by pressing the Tab key.
