Turkish has a number of dialects, the most prominent of which are Istanbul Turkish and Anatolian Turkish. Istanbul Turkish is the variety of Turkish that is spoken in Istanbul and is the basis for the standard Turkish that is spoken today. Anatolian Turkish is spoken in the Anatolian region of Turkey and is the most divergent from standard Turkish. Turkish is written in the Latin alphabet and uses the same alphabet as English. However, there are a few differences, such as the use of the letter 'I' for the sound 'ee' and the use of 'c' for the 'ch' sound. Turkish also has a number of unique letters, such as 'ç', 'ğ', 'ı', 'ö', 'ş', and 'ü'.
