Etymology

[edit]

The breve is used to indicate an elided ‹g›. This origin of the sound is evident in the archaic pronunciation [ɣ] as well as in alternations like çocukçocuğu (vis-à-vis kutup, umutkutubu, umudu). Moreover, in Arabic and Persian borrowings the letter غ () is equivalent to Turkish ‹ğ› word-internally, but to ‹g› word-initially (as ‹ğ› cannot be initial).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (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 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).

Letter
