The voiceless allophones of (alveolo) palatal stop consonant [c] and velar stop consonant [k] of the phoneme /k/ represented by the letter "K" exists in almost all languages of the world. Which of these will be sounded in speech is determined by the type of the vowel that are adjacent to them. In Turkish, the dark variant [k] occurs mainly in words deriving from Arabic origin containing the letter "qaf", whereas the soft/clear variant [c] from those containing "kef". Some Turks who are not very careful with their speech, sound the standard soft sound [c] unduly like the harder one [k] for no apparent reason. The words such as "dükkan" (store) or "kase" (bowl) are pronounced by such speakers with the harder allophone [k] rather than the standard soft [c] as expected. Although this discrepancy does not hinder communication, it is considered substandard by the educated, and cause embarrassment. In order to remedy this deviation, the author suggests an awareness of the individual occurrences of such allophones, and as a remedial therapy a "minimal pairs" technique to help such speakers bring their practice to the acceptable norms of modern, educated spoken Turkish.
