In the Istanbul dialect, the manual signs of the terms for ‘public bus’ and ‘municipality’ are the same but they differ in mouthing. In the first set of pictures below, the manual sign for ‘municipality’ is accompanied by the mouthing of the Turkish word belediye ‘municipality’. In the second set of pictures, the same manual sign is accompanied by the mouthing of the Turkish word otobüs ‘public bus’.
