Abstract

Iraqi Turkmen is included in the south-west Turkish language, which is known as the Turkish-Oghuz language group. There are words of Arab, Persian and Mongol origin that are used in the Iraqi Turkmen language. This is not surprising because the Turkish individual is open to close the historical relations between the Turk and these peoples, especially after embracing the legacy of the Islamist religion, which has led to influence among them. The Turkmen pronounce these extraneous words according to the acoustic properties in their language. In other words, these words are subject to the grammatical consensus rule. So, we see that these words can change in terms of pronunciation, like losing one letter or adding an extra letter to facilitate pronunciation, and sometimes using the extraneous word in a different sense than the original one.We have addressed in this study Persian words used in the language of the Iraqi Turkmen, while those words in terms of pronunciation and in the Turkmen language first, and then between a word and its meaning in Persian, then we have to study the changes that have undergone in terms of pronunciation and meaning.
