How the Turkish Latin Alphabet Was Born ✍️ Did you know Turkish didn’t always use the Latin alphabet? Before 1928, Turkish was written in a version of the Arabic script. But under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s leadership, Turkey underwent a major reform to modernize and unify the country — and language was a key part of it. 🔤 In 1928, the Turkish Latin alphabet was officially adopted. Inspired by Western European scripts, it replaced Arabic letters with 29 Latin-based ones — designed to better reflect Turkish pronunciation and boost literacy. Why was this change important? ✅ Easier to learn ✅ More logical for Turkish phonetics ✅ Helped bridge the gap between people and education This was more than a switch in letters — it was a cultural revolution. 📚✊
