The article aims at describing harmony rules in North-Western Karaim, an endangered Kipchak Turkic language spoken in Lituania. It has been claimed that Karaim, as a result of intensive copying from non-Turkic languages, acquired consonant harmony. The authors argue that this is not correct. Turkic harmony is typically syllabic, i.e. both vowels and consonants participate in marking the frontness versus backness of syllables. As a result of copying Karaim has both palatalized and non-palatalized variants of all consonants. Thus, front syllables are pronounced with front vowels and palatalized consonants. Consequently, Karaim observes syllabic harmony as typical for Turkic. The new feature in Karaim is the phonetic realization of front syllables. A comparison with Hungarian illustrates the difference between vowel harmony and syllabic harmony.
