How to accept only characters to text area with Turkish characters?

here is my code for a textareainput to accept only characters not numbers.

var harfInput1 = document.getElementById('graduated_university_country');
    harfInput1.addEventListener("keyup",function(){
        if (harfInput1.value.match(/[^a-zA-Z' ']/g)){
            harfInput1.value = this.value.replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g,'');
        }
    })

Problem is i cannot accept Turkish characters like this. I tried to add code below but it did not work.

var harfInput1 = document.getElementById('graduated_university_country');
    harfInput1.addEventListener("keyup",function(){
        if (harfInput1.value.match(/[^a-zA-Z' '][^wığüşöçĞÜŞÖÇİ]/g)){
            harfInput1.value = this.value.replace(/[^a-zA-Z][^wığüşöçĞÜŞÖÇİ]/g,'');
        }
    })

Any suggestions?

You can use below code snippet to catch all alpha letters including Turkish letters with Javascript using Regular expressions.

var harfInput1 = document.getElementById('graduated_university_country');
  harfInput1.addEventListener("keyup",function(){
  if (harfInput1.value.match(/[^a-zA-Z' 'wığüşöçĞÜŞÖÇİ]/g)){
      harfInput1.value = this.value.replace(/[^a-zA-ZwığüşöçĞÜŞÖÇİ]/g,'');
  }
})
