pronunciation guide
The pronunciation of Turkish words is almost entirely phonetic - all letters are pronounced except for the Ğ which lengthens the sound of the preceding vowel. The sounds also correspond, in general to Portuguese, with some exceptions.
Vowels
- ı - similar to The in Portuguese (and not i)
- ö - as in German, a sound between O and and
- ü - like the u French, pronounced with pursed lips
Consonants
- c - sound of DJ (like the j in jump in English)
- ç - sound of bye (as in Czech)
- h - always pronounced, has the sound of rr
- r - like the r of word shine
- s - always like s and never eat z
- ş - as tea (key, bug etc)
- y - always pronounced (as in the word iyi, "Good")
