Kashubian alphabet Kashubian alphabet The Kashubian or Cassubian alphabet ("kaszëbsczi alfabét", "kaszëbsczé abecadło") is the script of the Kashubian language, based on the Latin alphabet. The Kashubian alphabet consists of 34 letters: A, Ą, Ã, B, C, D, E, É, Ë, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, Ł, M, N, Ń, O, Ò, Ó, Ô, P, R, S, T, U, Ù, W, Y, Z, Ż The Kashubian language also use some digraphs: ch, cz, dz, dż, rz and sz. The digraphs "cz", "dż", "sz", "ż" are pronounced in a different manner from their Polish counterparts – they are palato-alveolar, not retroflex
Turkish alphabet could be expressed using four different Arabic signs; others could not be expressed at all. The introduction of the telegraph and printing press in the 19th century exposed further weaknesses in the Arabic script. The Turkic Kipchak Cuman language was written in Latin alphabet like in the Codex Cumanicus. Some Turkish reformists promoted the adoption of the Latin script well before Atatürk's reforms. In 1862, during an earlier period of reform, the statesman Münuf Pasha advocated a reform of the alphabet. At the start of the 20th century similar proposals were made by several writers associated with the Young Turks
