The researcher has made an attempt to find a reliable answer to "Are there any violations in regard with vowel harmony in the speech of the Azerbaijan Turks in Iran?" The author, based on the linguistic data, has attempted to find and show the violations of vowel harmony and the related causes in the dialects of Azerbaijan Turkish in Iran (a synchronic study). The results of the study showed that the existing violations are mostly observed in the loanwords, though we observe some violations in some of the native words, too. The writer comes to the conclusion that to minimize the degree of the violations, the use of loanwords should be avoided as far as possible, especially in the cases where there are equivalent native words.

Orthography is a standardized system for using a particular writing system (script) to write a particular language. It includes rules of spelling, and may also concern other elements of the written language such as punctuation and capitalization. It is clear that English is a non-phonetic and Turkish is a phonetic language, so it is very natural for the Turkish EFL learners to have some phonological problems in learning English. The author has done a contrastive study concerning three linguistic systems, i.e. consonants, vowels and syllable structures of English and Turkish to find the causes of the problems to be used in teaching English as a foreign language to Turks. The results of the study showed that the problems under discussion are caused by some differences between the orthography and the phono...

The results of the study showed that, except some violations mostly observed in loanwords, there is an innate and high degree of harmony in both of them, along with some degrees of disharmony. It can be claimed that one of the main factors of the observed disharmony, among other factors, is the effect of other languages and the existence of loanwords. Generally speaking, we may conclude that vowel harmony kish and Azerbaijani Turkish (Iran), of course with some degrees of difference.
