I don't think that's necessary relevant: the only example I can think
of language-dependent ligatures is fi and ffi for Turkish and other
languages that use the dotless i (ı, U+0131), because removing the dot
on the i would be confusing in that case; but that's really all. All
other ligatures depend on the font.
Many Adobe-produced fonts have a special ligatures for Turkish and
some other languages using ı, I suspect because Adobe Font Development
Kit for OpenType has a provision for them.
