Türkiye has combination of letters quite unique. Languages with umlaut letters, German, Hungarian and Estonian, use <j> for [j]. In Scandinavian languages and Finnish  its <y>. In French and Dutch <u>. Other languages (that would use Latin alphabet) do not have such a phoneme. So it is funny to ask Spanish speakers to write a word totally incomprehendable for them.
