Students will be able to understand and apply the basic principles of phonetics in the Kyrgyz language. This includes recognizing and reproducing sounds, understanding the difference between vowels and consonants, and discerning syllabic structure.

# data[].attributes.body
Begin with an essential question: How do sounds form words in the Kyrgyz language? Introduce phonetics through a story or a song that emphasizes the variety of sounds in Kyrgyz.

# data[].attributes.body
Teach the students about vowels and consonants using interactive presentations. Highlight the importance of each in forming Kyrgyz words.

This article is about the phonology and phonetics of the Kyrgyz language.

A formant chart showing the stem vowel space of Kyrgyz. From Washington (2007:10).

Notes on vowel quality:

Kyrgyz vowel space is different in affixes and stems. Washington (2007) describes the former as more typical and more condensed.

In stem vowel space, the main difference between /e/ and /i/ is that the latter is more back. In affix vowel space, they can have the same backness, and differ by height.

/a/ appears only in borrowings from Persian and is excluded from normal vowel harmony rules. In most dialects, its status as a vowel distinct from /ɑ/ is questionable. There is also a phonetic which appears as a result of regressive assimilation of /ɑ/ before syllables with phonological front vowels, e.g. "àydöş" [ajdøʃ] 'sloping'.

The sequence of any vowel and the consonant /z/ is pronounced as a long vowel with falling pitch.

In colloquial speech, word-final vowels are dropped when the next word begins with a vowel.

All vowels but /i/ may be both short and long. Long vowels are the result of historical elisions (e.g. compensatory lengthening) and contractions. For example, já "rain" < *yağ; bé "mare" (cf. Kazakh biye); too "mountain" < *tağ; dőlöt "wealth" < Arabic daulat; ulú "great" < *uluğ; elű"fifty" < *eļļiğ.

/n,l,r/ are alveolar, whereas /t,d,t͡s,s,z/ are dental.
the liquid /l/ is velarized in back vowel contexts.

/ŋ,k,ɡ,x/ are velar, whereas /j/ is palatal.
/k,ɡ/ are palatal in words with front vowels, and uvular in words with back vowels.

In loanwords from Persian and Arabic, palatal are always followed by front vowels, whereas velar [k,ɡ] are always followed by back vowels, regardless of the vowel harmony.

Word-final and word-initial /k/ is voiced to when it is surrounded by vowels or the consonants /m,n,ŋ,l,r,j/.

/f,v,t͡s,x/ occur only in foreign borrowings, mostly from Indo-European and Semitic.

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it.

Recent loanwords often retain their original stress.
