If you are Turkish and opted-in for religion classes in the school, you learn some parts of the Qoran reading them in Latin alphabet. Because we don't know arabic alphabet, but Turkish one (Latin alphabet with 3-4 extra letters). Actually one of the letters in "extended Eskéndereyya", "ş" is a Turkish letter, created for Turkish language. I don't understand why Eskéndereyya is different than the alphabet we used to use in high school.
