The words in our language end with the consonants of „p, ç, t, k‟ except a few ones such as „ad‟, „sac‟. This rule is prevalent for the words with foreign origin as well. However, when such words take vowel or suffix that begins with a vowel, the consonants which are talked about are sonarisated. This sound incident which we accept as the basic characterisric of Turkish does not always depend on a rule. While sonarisation occurs many times in similar situations, it is not seen in some words. In „Miftâhu‟l-Ferec‟, the tendency of sonarisating of the devoicing-explosive consonants in the last sounds is in higher level when compared to the standard Turkish of Turkey. Today, the single syllabled words that end with the consonants of „p, ç, t, k,‟ take place in our text with their sonarisated forms owing to the basic long vowels. The devoicingexplosive in the last sounds of the multi-syllabled words are sonarisated unexceptionally when used with an suffix or a preposition that beginning with a vowel. Furthermore, sonarisation is seen in the text as a result of the incident of connection.
