Abstract

The paper is a summary of phonetic renderings found in borrowings from Arabic and Persian in Turkish. Based on 1748 loanwords, it gives an overview of which adaptations are typical in both groups, and which are unusual. For the latter, the specific cases are listed and briefly discussed. The focus is on renderings of individual phonemes rather than processes or the influence of the phonetic surrounding.
