Why Turkish names are more regular than they look
- C is a ‘j’ and Ç is ‘ch’ — Çalhanoğlu → chahl-hah-NOH-loo.
- Ş is ‘sh’, and ğ (soft g) is silent — it just lengthens the vowel before it.
- I without a dot is a swallowed ‘uh’; the dotted i is ‘ee’ — Yıldız → yuhl-DUHZ.
- Ö / Ü are the same rounded vowels as in German; Americans land on ‘ur’ / ‘oo’.
