Turkish

Etymology

Thebreveis used to indicate anelided‹g›. This origin of the sound is evident in the archaic pronunciation[ɣ]as well as in alternations likeçocuk→çocuğu(vis-à-viskutup,umut→kutubu,umudu). Moreover, in Arabic and Persian borrowings the letterغ(ḡ)is equivalent to Turkish ‹ğ› word-internally, but to ‹g› word-initially (as ‹ğ› cannot be initial).

Pronunciation

• (letter name):IPA^(key):/jumuˈʃak ɟeː/
• IPA^(key):[ː],[-],[j],[ɰ]
• (Eastern dialects)IPA^(key):[ɣ]
• Word-finally and before a consonant, it lengthens the preceding vowel. Intervocally, it creates ahiatus,which in turn may be contracted into a long vowel or be separated with asemivowel(depending on the vowel combination as well as the speaker’s dialect).
