 | This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Turkmen on Wikipedia.It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Turkmen in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them. Integrity must be maintained between the key and the transcriptions that link here; do not change any symbol or value without establishing consensus on the talk page first. | |
