As I made clear before, Turkish drops the dot from both lower and upper case when it adds the circumflex.
Can you give me some references for this Peter? I would like to find out more about the use of circumflex in Turkish.
Did you see my posting with the extract:
TÃRK *MÄLLÃ* KODLANDIRMA SÄSTEMÄ. *...* . *MillÃ* KodlandÄrma Sisteminin temelini ...
This is from a Turkish government site which comes up when I do a Google search on "millÃ", but the site itself doesn't seem to be available. You will find that the spellings "millÃ" (19,600 Google matches) and "milli" (709,000 matches, but not all are Turkish) are interchangeable, but "millÄ" is rare (52 matches) and so probably an error. Note the following for "National Education Ministry":
"Milli EÄitim BakanlÄÄÄ" - 22,100 matches "Millà EÄitim BakanlÄÄÄ" - 1,270 matches "MillÄ EÄitim BakanlÄÄÄ" - 3 matches
My Turkish-English dictionary gives only "milli". For the grammar and orthography, http://www.cromwell-intl.com/turkish/Index.html is a basic reference.
