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.
Turkish alphabet Persian borrowings from the Ottoman Turkish period, most of which have been eliminated from the language. Native Turkish words have no vowel length distinction, and for them the circumflex is used solely to indicate palatalization. The names of the vowel letters are the vowels themselves, whereas the names of the consonant letters are the consonant plus "e". The one exception is "ğ" ("yumuşak ge"; i.e. "soft g"), which cannot begin a word: "a", "be", "ce", "çe", "de", "e", "fe", "ge", "yumuşak ge", "he", "ı", "i", "je", "ke", "le", "me", "ne", "o", "ö", "pe", "re", "se", "şe", "te", "u", "ü", "ve",
