Turkish ortography is very transparent. Every phonem has a mark of it’s own, syllables are clear and even expectable assimilations (sonuç > sonucu) show in the written form of the words. Partly because of this I find Turkish quite easy to pronounce (English speaking learners may have a different opinion), I mean I have seen worse. You could use some musical talent for the accented last syllable but the good thing is even the non-accented syllables in a word sustain their phonetical quality (and don’t lose it like in Russian, for example).

There are still a couple of things which I have paid attention to:

1. The Turkish e seems to have a wide variety of appearances from narrow [e] to a clear [ä] whose quantity some speakers tend to lengthen, yerde > [yäärde]. I can’t find the reason even from the phonetical environment.

Do you think it´s widespread usage. I have never paid attention to it.

2. I read somewhere that yumuşak g (ğ doesn’t have to be pronounced at all. But I guess you can’t pretend that it doesn’t exist? Otherwise there would be a diphthong in words like ağır and Turkish has none. I think of ğ as a syllable border but this is only a result of thinking-to-myself.

I believe I myself pronounce it but for many people it will legthen the preceeding vocal.

3. Is there [ŋ] in Turkish? How do you pronounce banka?

You can hear it in Anatolian dialects. But in Istanbul Turkish it disappeared. Banka is

ban - ka

4. You probably don’t pronounce the şs in değilmişsin as it is written, do you? Which sibilant eats the other one?

I do personally. But sometimes we say it and even write it as:

değilmişin

gitmişin; gitmişiniz

gelmişin; gelmişiniz

etc.
