  (file)

• Hyphenation: leh‧çe

Usage notes

• The word is often rather ambiguously and unscientifically used to refer to what are clearly separate languages; for example, the Turkic languages are sometimes referred to as Türk lehçeleri ("Turkic dialects"). There is also no clear distinction between lehçe and similar terms such as ağız or şive.
