I like to understand things through pictures, including languages, whenever possible.
So, I have done this picture to help me memorize the otherwise easy Turkish vowel harmony. Haven't seen it elsewhere and I hope that it may be useful for others. Arrows indicate which vowel may follow a given one. The "u" exception to "a" is indicated. Other exceptions are missing.

Glad you've found something that can help you.
Have you been studying Turkish long? When I started learning Turkish, I learned it the usual way through a table in a book. I don't think it was ever terribly confusing, but what finally really sorted everything for me was actually speaking it. It was only then that I became consistent, even though I "knew" the rules.

I've started this year, so I'm a genuine beginner :-) This picture follows the rules written in the book "Turkish Grammar" by G. Lewis. I'm beginning with this book and Mango, though seriously considering to follow the CSL method. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Very nicely done, it reminds me of a similar chart I made to learn Min Nan tone sandhi.
I don't know what software you used for this, but something I've found very helpful for graph drawing in general is graphviz. One enters the structural data as text and the drawing and layout is taken care of automatically. It's very powerful, feature-rich, and extensible. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks, egil. I've used Vue, but will try graphviz.
