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 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 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 edit
ğ (lower case, upper case Ğ)
