Pros:

Better rendering/appearance on GitHub/editor especially with TSV (subjective, I guess)
Easier to edit, especially for non-SQL folks
Easy to force sorting so that dupes are easy to see
Smaller file size

Cons:

Somewhat more complex build

I think pros outweigh cons in this case. Thoughts?

We also probably need to merge turkic.sql and manual.sql.

Another Pro:

less confusing when input data is all tsv and output data is all sql.

We should keep a dichotomy between scraped and our modifications (whether we call it manual or something else).

Note that writing sql isn't that big a deal. People who don't know it should still be fine, and if they really are uncomfortable with it, it's never too late to learn :D
