Actually, modern Turkish script *is* (accented) latin, in that respect
it's no different than a zillion other latin scripts. It's just that
Turkish collation and case-folding rules are slightly different than
you'd expect in an English-speaking world. For that matter -- so are
French ones; look up the rules for accented lowercase letters in French.
Or the rules for the German ß. Nothing is ever simple.
