Pronunciation Guide[edit | edit source]
South Azerbaijani is a Turkic language, which means that some words may have sounds that are not familiar to English speakers, but don't worry, you can learn the sounds easily with practice. Here are some tips:
- "ı" is pronounced like "uh" in "hut" - "ə" is pronounced like "a" in "sofa" - "ü" is pronounced like "u" in "rude" - "ö" is pronounced like "i" in "bird" - "ğ" is a silent letter, but it changes the pronunciation of the previous vowel - "c" is pronounced like "j" in "job"
Now, let's practice some common fruit names in South Azerbaijani:
