Actually, Spanish and Turkish have both undergone reforms. The most
recent with Spanish only involved changing the alphabet and hence the
sorting. Further back, Spanish once used the cedilla - in fact the
English named for the cedilla comes from Spanish even though that
language no longer uses it.
Turkish underwent massive change when Ataturk came to power. Not
merely the spelling but also the script was changed from Arabic to
Latin and a large portion of the vocabulary borrowed from Arabic was
replaced with new words from various sources.
Coincidentally, Turkish now uses a cedilla not only with "c" but also
with "s". (-:

Again!!!! Dutch spelling seems to be in need of a reform about every 5
years. Maybe I should switch my native language to something more
consistent. Hmm, Spanish and Turkish seem to be nice candidates :-)
