Gagauz alphabet should be used instead of commas for Ç, Ş, and Ţ for consistency, since C with comma does not exist in Romanian and Turkish uses cedillas for Ç and Ş, although Ț is often seen. In their standard order, the letters of the Gagauz alphabet are: Note that dotted and dotless I are 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 Gagauz alphabet has no q, w or x. Instead, those characters are transliterated into Gagauz as k, v and ks, respectively.
