Summary/Abstract: There is a vowel /ä/ in Kazak Turkish, which does nat conform to the existing symetrical pattern of Turkish language, consisting of eight vowels. Along with this vowel, the number of vowels rises to nine in Kazak Turkish. This /ä/ vowel is mostly encountered in borrowings from foreign languages. The earliest examples of this vowel have come to be employed in Arabic and Persian borrowings, particularly in the first sylable, by convering the length sees in Turkish words to the preceding the lenght seesn in Turkish words to the preciding sylable. Sometimes the consonant is dropped and leaves its voicing to the preciding vowel, thus leading to the formation of vowel /ä/. If this /ä/ vowel is preferred to be denoted as “a” or “e”, the phonetic representation system of vowels would be unaffected.
