No. The phonetic version should be as stripped down as possible, there
are for sure lots of letters and letter combination that sound similar.
In most languages for example m and n sound similar which means they
ought to have the same phonetic. There are probably much more examples
also in Turkish language. A language being written as it is pronounced
does not mean phonetics make no sense.
