G g Ğ ğ H h I ı İ i Ĭ ĭ J j K k L l
M m N n Ñ ñ O o Ö ö P p Q q R r
S s Ş ş T t U u Ü ü V v W w Y y Z z

*Ââ is not recognized as a separate letter. It is used to show softness of a consonant followed by Aa.

The letters Ĭĭ and Ww are not in the Crimean Tatar alphabet. Tatars in Dobruja, however, use Ĭĭ and Ww. Ĭĭ represents [ɪ] and Ww represents [w]. Crimean Tatars in Crimea use İi to represent [ɪ] and [i], and Vv represents both [w] and [v], but in Dobruja, İi is [i] and Vv is [v].
