No, indeed, and for the same reason that Latin-1 doesn't support
Lithuanian, Polish, Croatian, Maltese, Esperanto, or Hausa (all languages
written with the Latin script): it lacks the letters that those languages
require.
Note that not even English is well supported by ASCII alone,
as evidenced by 'na\"ive' and 'co\"operate'.
