Abstract

In Turkey Turkish consonants at the end of the words are voiceless consonants.When a suffix is added to the rnonosyllabic words, ending with voiceless consonants,we observe that the voiceless consonants at the end of the single syllable words showssonarisation in only 25 words of Turkey Turkish. When we examine these 25 wordsaccording to their equivalents in other intonations and dialects, we determine thatthe vowel in 20 of them are primary long vowels and 5 of them has voice reflection.Besides these we provide clarification about the word "yok" which show two differentcases, a1tough it has primary long vowels.
