Language
Pronouncing Turkish is pretty simple as most Turkish sounds are also found in English. If
you read our coloured pronunciation guides as if they were English, you'll be understood.
Note that, in our pronunciation guides,
ew
is pronounced as the 'ee' in 'see' with rounded
lips,
uh
as the 'a' in 'ago', and that
r
is always rolled. The stressed syllables are indicated
with italics.
