Mispronunciation poses danger to languages: Turkish experts

Mispronounced, shortened or new phrases derived from overseas languages can pose a hazard to the following technology of Turkish audio system when they’re conveyed in written kinds, specialists declare.

“Likewise, the contact established on the street, in the neighborhood and with friends also contributes to the formation of a person’s language. Similarly, in primary and secondary schools, thanks to the education teachers continue to deliver, the child’s knowledge of language continues to expand,” he stated.

Emphasizing that the Istanbul dialect must be recognized effectively for the proper and delightful use of Turkish, Tanyıldız stated: “As literature teachers, we try to teach and recommend the Istanbul dialect.

It is a beautiful dialect that has symbolized the Turkish language. Therefore, our friends who want to speak Turkish well should know and learn the Istanbul dialect well.”

“Naturally, this does not mean that we deny the local dialects and local languages. In other words, a young person from Diyarbakır can know and speak by using all the features of the Diyarbakır dialect in detail. There is nothing odd about this.

As the world of words increases, our thinking speed will increase. Thus, the aesthetic level of the words we will choose will also increase.”

“Young people live fast in the modern era. Because they live fast, they think fast and speak fast. It is very natural for words to be rounded and some letters to be swallowed in spoken language. But this will become a problem once it enters the written language. Those little mistakes, which may not be very important in the spoken language, become permanent when they are passed into the written language,” Tanyıldız stated.

Pointing to technological developments as one of many greatest components behind this alteration within the “word world,” Tanyıldız identified that the precise world has now develop into a small village the place every part happens quick and without delay.

“Everything can spread all at once. It is now very easy to access information. We can instantly visualize an event that took place on the other side of the world in seconds, through screens. The probability of language changing quickly in an atmosphere as fast as this is very strong,” he concluded.
