Kurdish alphabet
Kurdish alphabet is a writing system derived from Latin alphabet. It was created by Celadet Elî Bedirxan in 1932, thus also called the "Bedirxan script". It is used by Kurds in Turkey and Syria. It contains 31 letters, eight of which are vowels.
A, B, C, Ç, D, E, Ê, F, G, H, I, Î, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, Ş, T, U, Û, V, W, Y, X, Z
Turkish state does not recognise the alphabet. This has caused new conflicts since 2003, when names in Kurdish were allowed to be registered, for six letters of Kurdish alphabet are absent in Turkish alphabet.
