Alphabet(s)[edit]
Wrong and not complete. First the "not complete" part. We Turks did not only use the current Turkish (Latin) Alphabet or the Ottoman Turkish Alphabet (based on the Arabic Alphabet) but also Göktürk and Uygur Alphabets, to say the least. Secondly, calling our current Latin Alphabet as "Turkish Alphabet" -only because we Turks introduced a few special letters like ğ- while claiming our previous alphabet as "Arabic Alphabet" is wrong. Just like we did with the Latin Alphabet, we also adapted (modified) the Arabic Alphabet to the needs of our language, Turkish. The sounds so frecuently used in Turkish like ch and p, let alone the various vocals like o, u, ö, ü etc do not exist in Arabic (language and alphabet). Therefore the Ottoman Turkish language had the "Ottoman Turkish Alphabet" with all those additions. It was not any more the "Arabic Alphabet".
Easily speaking, even the most renown encyclopedias and most serious sources may call our current alphabet as "Turkish Alphabet", while it is Latin-based and our previous alphabet as "Arabic Alphabet" while it was not does not oblige us to continue those mistakes. I propose and recommend to make an item, property whatever it is called, for "Ottoman Turkish Alphabet" (and probably using our current alphabet as "Turkish Latin Alphabet".
