=== Local Turkish dialect ===
The Turkish spoken in Urfa has some features in common with the variety of [[Iraqi Turkmen#Language|Iraqi Turkmen]] spoken in Kirkuk, as well as some features owed to Arabic influence.<ref name="Saraç 2018"/>{{rp|19}} For example, the Arabic sounds ''[[Ayin#Arabic ʿayn|'ayn]]'', ''[[ghayn]]'', and ''[[qoph#Arabic qāf|qāf]]'' are pronounced the same in Urfa as they are in Arabic, which is not done in standard Turkish.<ref name="Saraç 2018"/>{{rp|19}}
