Hello friends, Merhaba arkadaşlar. Today we are going to learn Turkish alphabet Turkish alphabet consists of 29 letters. It has 21 consonants and 8 vowels. It has 7 modified letters from Latin originals. But it doesn't have the letters Q, W and X. As you see on the chart most of the letters are familiar for the English language speakers. A few of them different. For example Ö and Ü have dots on them, Ç and Ş have tails and one of the letter even has a hat. Yumuşak G, soft G Okay now let's take a closer to the alphabet The first letter of Turkish alphabet is A is not "A" A , as in "Arm" And the next one is B To read a consonant in Turkish alphabet you simply add "e" sound to the consonant.
