* The “sh” is transliterated; the correct spelling is s with a cedille like the ç. The ç in Turkish is pronounced “ch”.

† Many of the words above have different sounds for i; an undotted i (not in the English alphabet) is “uh” but a dotted i as we are used to is “ee”. If the letter is in bold italic above, it’s the undotted i.

A c without the cedille is pronounced more like j, so Çekici is something like “chekujuh”.
