Speaker of Turkish is a posthumous release by Muslimgauze. The first edition was released in 400 copies on January 9, 2006, in papier-mâché boxes. The second edition was released on June 12, 2006, with 1000 CD copies in digipaks.
The first edition was packaged in a handmade papier-mâché case painted green with a Mosque "relief" on the front. It was held together with a beaded drawstring. The package contained the following warning sheet: "No two of these handmade cases are exactly alike. Some of these lie flat when opened while others refuse to open all the way. The paper hinge joining the two parts of the CD case is weak and prone to failure. Do not attempt to flatten your CD case if it doesn't open fully; the hinge will tear in half. Handle this CD with care. Do not attempt to remove the small 'Made in India' sticker from the back. Doing so will de-laminate the green paint from the case". Also included for this edition was a 2006 "calendar card" with the edition number of the respective copy written in silver marker and a full-color oval sticker; stickers and calendar card art differed among copies.
