This is very easy.  Just look at existing files and do the following:

1. Write an LCM file for latin5 and put it into `maps' directory.

2. Write fontdefs for latin5 fonts and put it into `include' directory
   see `latin2' and `latin2.fd' as an example.

3. Add an entry for Turkish language to langdefs.

4. Take TeX hyphenation file for Turkish tweak it accrording to
   `hyph/readme' and put it to `hyph' directory.

5. Add Turkish words to `data/standard.ld'

6. Run lout -x $LOUTLIB/include/init to build compressed hyphenation
   patterns and reindex the `standard.ld'.

7. Test the result and submitt it to Jeff so that it's included in the
   next release.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need help.

SY, Uwe
