Turkish
Etymology
The breve is used to indicate an elided ‹g›. This origin of the sound is evident in the archaic pronunciation as well as in alternations like çocuk → çocuğu (vis-à-vis kutup, umut → kutubu, umudu). Moreover, in Arabic and Persian borrowings the letter غ (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): , , ,
- (Eastern dialects) IPA(key):
- Word-finally and before a consonant, it lengthens the preceding vowel. Intervocally, it creates a hiatus, which in turn may be contracted into a long vowel or be separated with a semivowel (depending on the vowel combination as well as the speaker’s dialect).
