Turkish

For over 1000 years Turkish was written in the Arabic script. After World War I, Mustapha Kemal introduced the Roman alphabet, which was first resisted on religious grounds, then accepted when it was found that people learned to read more easily. Other Turkish dialects use 7 other scripts , including Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Greek, but the Roman character became the official script of the Turkish language in 1928, coming into general use in 1930 . The Turkish alphabet contains 29 characters, including the undotted i, ı.
