- the lettera withcircumflex, used in Turkish spelling, representing/ʲa/,/ʲaː/, or/aː/
Not considered a letter of the alphabet, but the lettera with the circumflex diacritic. Represents palatalized k or g in the same syllable (i.e./c/,/ɟ/) or long a (/aː/) where it is phonemic.
- kâr –/caɾ/,gâvur –/ɟaˈvuɾ/
- adet(“amount”) –/aˈdet/,âdet(“tradition”) –/aːˈdet/
Note that the palatalizing effect of the letter â means that it can never appear in the same syllable as a/k/ or/ɡ/ sound, even when it would be needed to mark vowel length and distinguish two homographs.
- katil(“murder”) –/kaˈtil/,katil(“murderer”) –/kaːˈtil/ (*kâtil would be pronounced */caːˈtil/)
