Türkçe · Turc

Huit voyelles qui riment entre elles, des suffixes enfilés comme des perles, et un alphabet écrit en 1928 pour coller exactement à la langue.

Turkic (Oghuz)

🎚️ Ce que Turc fait de la hauteur, de l'accent et du rythme — la couche qui ne s'écrit pas.

Aperçu des sons

Turkish spelling is the youngest on the site after Malay and the most deliberate: in 1928 the Arabic script was replaced overnight by a Latin alphabet designed for this language, so one letter is one sound almost without exception. The new letters are the whole lesson — ç /t͡ʃ/, ş /ʃ/, c /d͡ʒ/ (cam is 'jam'), j /ʒ/, y /j/, ı /ɯ/ (an i said with the lips spread and the tongue pulled back), ö /ø/ and ü /y/ as in German. The one letter that is not a sound is ğ, the 'soft g': it lengthens the vowel before it (dağ 'mountain' is daː), turns into a y between front vowels (değil), and disappears between back ones (soğuk). The eight vowels split front/back and rounded/unrounded, and VOWEL HARMONY makes every suffix copy the vowels of the root — ev-ler 'houses' but at-lar 'horses' — so the sound system is also the grammar. k and g are said further forward next to a front vowel (kedi, göz) and further back beside a back vowel (kara, gol). Stress normally falls on the last syllable, and moves as suffixes are added; the exceptions — place names (ˈAnkara, İsˈtanbul), many adverbs (ˈşimdi, ˈyarın) and the negative -me- — are where learners are caught. The tracer does not mark stress.
