    Turkish Alphabet
    Worksheet
    The current Turkish alphabet is composed of 29 Latin letters: six additional characters
    not found in English alphabet are added, while Q, W, and X are removed. All of the letters
    represent one unique, single, and plain sound.
    BC
    Turkish is a phonetic language: the ways of writing, reading and pronouncing sounds are
    A
    exactly the same. In that sense, a letter can be used interchangeably as a sound, and
    vice versa.

    Rarely a type of accent mark called circumflex which is in the shape of a little, pointed hat
    appears on top of the vowels of A, İ and U, as â, î, û. This can be observed almost only
    in loanwords. This mark indicates the letter is a long vowel, or an interval sound between
    the back and front vowel couples (a-e, ı-i, u-ü). It is used mostly to distinguish between
    two words written exactly the same, yet with diverse meanings. This case almost always
    emerges when one word is original Turkish, and the other is a loan.

    A language’s alphabet is its building blocks. Trying to learn how to write in Turkish without first learning its
    alphabet is a bit like trying to build a brick house without touching the individual bricks! It is impossible to
    do a good job that way. So don’t believe language schools and methods that try to teach you otherwise.
    You will regret it later.

    Also, once you start recognizing symbols and words, you will be encouraged by your own progress
    and motivated to learn even faster. Even just learning the basics of the alphabet will allow you to start
    recognizing simple Turkish words, and it will feel great!

    Furthermore, knowing the alphabet even helps with pronunciation, as learning the individual letters of any
    language will start uncovering nuances and intricacies that are not always apparent when you’re simply
    listening to the words.

    Completely mastering the Turkish alphabet, no matter how long it takes, will give you an excellent head
    start in learning how to write and read the language. It will offer you a solid foundation on which to build
    the other language skills, so set a goal to learn the alphabet so well that you’re able to recite it in your
    sleep!
