I'd say Turkish, yes.

Further backed up by the fact that the domain is registered to an owner in Istanbul.

Alphabet invented by Kemel Ataturk in 1928:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_alphabet

The extensions beyond the latin alphabet were needed to represent sounds previously represented in Ottoman script.

Many other languages need extensions of the latin alphabet. Spanish and German, for instance.
But even more markedly the phoenetic languages like Hungarian, Latvian and Finnish.

Finnish has always struck me as a very peculiar sounding language. In English and most other languages, words come from other languages or at least have some sort of lineage. Someone once told me that in Finland when they find they don't have a word for something, someone just makes it up. Though that's not quite as strange as Japanese, which was apparently just invented to annoy the Chinese after they became an independant country.

Best language for what it looks like written down I think is probably Burmese - all circles and bobbles. Closely followed by Tibetan. PS I don't understand a word of either but it looks cool.
