Some Views on Using and those Changes have Happened to / Ñ / in Turkmen Sub-Dialects

Abstract

In recent years, the study of sub-dialects has increased among Turkish language academic investigators in Turkish language departments. Numerous studies have been conducted on accents and dialects by academics. There are many investigations into Iraqi Turkmen accents, and currently, the Iraqi Turkmen dialect has attracted the attention of investigators and researchers. The current study will examine the /ñ/ sound, which is one of the elements of the old Turkish language. This sound has been removed from our formal Turkish language. In Iraqi Turkmen accents, it cannot be said that the mentioned sound has been removed; this element has been retaining of the old Turkish language. However, the use of this sound has been reduced. This study will demonstrate the use of this sound in Iraqi Turkmen accents and the types of changes that have occurred to it. Moreover, it will show each change that has happened to the sound and identify the areas where these changes have been applied in Iraqi Turkmen accents.
