Do try to include Ottoman Turkish. (You can find some resources in the [long] thread I started in 1998 in sci.lang and soc.culture.turkish; search on groups.google.com for the thread with the title "Using Arabic alphabet to write Turkish" posted by "Philip Newton" on 4 May 1998. The thread branches off into other things, but there are a few good posts describing how Arabic was adapted to Turkish, and links to at least one site which contained samples of such writing.)
