Glossary

Impossible here to give a complete and thorough account of the alphabets and pronunciation of Turkish and Welsh.

What might be useful is the following:

Turkish

ç – ‘ch’ – softens the c, as in çiçek (flower)

ğ– is silent – oğlu (son) pronounced ‘o-lu’

Ş ş – ‘sh’ – as in Inşallah, şehir (city)

ı – short ‘i’ – pronounced ‘uh’

i – long ‘i’ – pronounced ‘ee’

Welsh

much simpler to read than English, once the letter values are known!

c – always hard, as in ‘k’ – cariad

dd – ‘th’, as in Dafydd (Davith)

ff – equivalent to English ‘f’

f – equivalent to English ‘v’

w – used as a vowel ‘oo’ as in cwm (valley)
