    Turkish as the official language

    The Turkish alphabet consists of 29 letters, and some of its letters do not appear in our classical alphabet. Even if you study it diligently, despite the small vocabulary, you will find that pronunciation is a major obstacle. However, if you persist and learn, you will be able to pronounce a few words correctly. Around 100 million people speak Turkish and its variants.

    Pronunciation tips

    Correct pronunciation will be the main communication problem for your trip to Turkey. First rule: You must always be able to roll an “r”. That's the easiest thing, now comes the hard part. In alphabetical order: “c” is pronounced “jungle” and “ç” becomes “Czech”. “e” must be pronounced “feel (as an open e)”. For a "g" you say "g" and "ğ" lengthens the vowel that follows it. “ı” without a period is pronounced like “come (as a very muffled and short i)”. “ö” is pronounced like “ö” in German. The “ş” is pronounced like “school, bush”. “u” is pronounced “(as an open u)” and “ü” is pronounced like “ü” in German.
