Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Turkish is spoken in Republic of Türkiye, Northern Cyprus, and as a minority language in many countries within the former borders of the Ottoman Empire. Many dialects are spread over a large geography, which can be grouped into three: Eastern, Northeast, and Western Turkish. Turkish is characterized by 21 consonants and eight vowels. A number of studies of children’s acquisition of Turkish demonstrate that Turkish children acquire certain phonemes and affixes early, presumably because Turkish is an agglutinative language. Few studies have focused on speech sound disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, cleft lip and palate, and hearing loss. Common speech assessments include the Türkçe Sesletim-Sesbilgisi Testi and Ankara Artikülasyon Testi. Family interview, other standardized tests, and instrumental assessments are also used. Interventions include traditional articulation therapy, auditory discrimination, minimal pairs, maximal opposition, multiple oppositions, core vocabulary, stimulability treatment, Rapid Syllable Transition Training, and Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets.</jats:p>
