Turan alphabet is the first alphabet in our history.it had 36 letters and it was used from 200 B.C to 1000 A.C

The Greek Alphabet isn't the Cyrillic Alphabet! The modern day Greek alphabet is the evolution of the old Greek Alphabet. The Cyrillic alphabet, used to be created through Methodius and Cyrillus, to be able to coach Orthodox Christianity to Slavic Nations, which did not have a written sort in their language. So, Cyrillus created an alphabet to be able to translate the Holy Bible from Greek to Slavic and used letters from the Greek Alphabet. The Greek Alphabet is facet of the Greek civilazation. Why must we difference it?

No Turks used different alphapets through out their history.
The first examples of Turkish language is "Orkhon scripts" in todays Mongolia, carved on stones with "Gokturk alphapet"
Uigurs also used a different alphabet.
After they were coverted in Islam, Turks used arabic alphabet, until the modern Turkish republic.

Hi,
Yes, The Turkish alphabet is a variant of the Latin alphabet used for writing the Turkish language, consisting of 29 letters, a certain number of which (Ç, Ğ, I, İ, Ö, Ş, and Ü) have been adapted or modified for the phonetic requirements of the language.
