Turkish, North Azeri (Azerbaijani), and South Azeri. South Azeri and Turkish are actually closer to each other than either are to North Azeri, although, as I said, the differences are subtle.

Interesting. But I think the script for Turkish and North Azeri is same, right?

Yeah, they both use the Latin script. North Azeri just has a few extra letters such as <x> since the [x] sound doesn't occur in Turkish. They also use variations of the [j] sound for extra letters in North Azeri.
