The modern Gagauz alphabet, used for the Gagauz language, is a 31-letter Latin alphabet modelled on the Turkish alphabet.
Until 1996, Gagauz used the Cyrillic script.
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.
