They'd better be, in the light of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Miscellaneous_uses_in_other_languages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Miscellaneous_uses_in_other_languages
If not, then somone goofed. One example given in this page: # In the new Uzbek Latin alphabet adopted in 2000, the apostrophe serves as a diacritical mark to distinguish different phonemes written with the same letter: it differentiates o' (corresponding to Cyrillic ў) from o, and g' (Cyrillic ғ) from g. This avoids the use of special characters, allowing Uzbek to be typed with ease in ordinary ASCII on any Latin keyboard. In addition, a postvocalic apostrophe in Uzbek represents the glottal stop phoneme derived from Arabic hamzah or ‘ayn, replacing Cyrillic ъ.
