The whole *ASCII apostrophe* thing for Qazaqi (Kazakh) could be avoided by using a Turkish-based orthography; this way, /h/ can still be distinguished from /x/, /u/ from /w/, ... !
·<Ä Ö Ü> for front rounded vowels /æ ø y/ ·<Ş J> for laminal fricatives /ʃ ʒ/, and <Ç C> for laminal affricates /tʃ dʒ/ ·<X> for /x ~ ꭓ/, and <Ğ> for its voiced counterpart /ɣ ~ ʁ/ ·The Turkish dull-I letter <İ ı> for the phoneme /ɨ ~ ɯ ~ ɤ/ ·<Ṅ> for the *eng* sound /ŋ/ ... . So, a Turkish-based ASDF keyboard layout would do fine for typing in Qazaqi using our Latin/Roman alphabet.
