hehe good question Sui! And you're welcome Louisa.

Genius Bod - I have just installed this. You are an angel! (or should I say an evil fairy?) I used to switch between keyboard layouts - but what you have just provided is so much simpler! It is perfect! Thank you very very much. I recommend it to others - it's great!

Yes, it's nice and easy too. All I did was copied and pasted the whole list into excel, and then on the tool bar at the top, I pressed the key which has an AZ and downward arrow (alternatively, you can go to Data, then sort). The only annoying thing was that it didn't recognise the difference between i/ı s/ş o/ö u/ü c/ç - so I had to move them around manually. Voila!

You're welcome. I have to give some of the credit to excel though!

We already had a lot of those, but I added the ones which were missing. I didn't add in sap sap (dolaşmak) though - as wasn't certain of its meaning.

Thanks to the help of Excel(!) I have put the "up to date" as it currently stands list into alphabetical order. It's very long... and by no means exhaustive.. (It really could go on forever!)
