Kazakh phonetic alphabet among the linguists [14]. Therefore, since the orthographic transcription
of Kazakh roughly corresponds to a broad phonetic transcription, for the phoneme set a reduced
form of the Kazakh alphabet is used, i.e. it includes those letters used in writing of Kazakh words.
Also, for some letters there are variations in pronunciation depending on letter’s position or context
in a word. Thus, letters, Е, О and Ө are pronounced as diphthongs in the beginning of a word.
Letters Ю, Я are generally diphthongs except when used in the contexts CV and CVC, in such cases
they obey vowel harmony and pronounced as their soft counterparts. Additionally, there is a SIL
phone for silence.
