â (lower case, upper case Â)

1. The letter of the Turkish alphabet, called â and written in the Latin script.

Not specified in the alphabet, but used officially to mark a palatalized k or g in the same syllable (i.e. /c/, /ɟ/) or distinguish long vowels if they are a distinguishing factor.

kâr – /caɾ/, gâvur – /ɟaˈvuɾ/

adet (“amount”) – /aˈdet/, âdet (“tradition”) – /aːˈdet/

Note that the palatalizing effect of the letter â means that it can never appear in the same syllable as a /k/ or /ɡ/ sound, even when it would be needed to mark vowel length and distinguish two homographs.

katil (“murder”) – /kaˈtil/, katil (“murderer”) – /kaːˈtil/ (*kâtil would be pronounced */caːˈtil/)
