The Dawd is heavier like in the word “dawb” or “daunting” but needs a little help keeping the vowel trapped. When transliterated you might see the number nine with an apostrophe 9’, capital D or the letters dh to distinguish Dawd from dal.

In addition, when transliterating names and loanwords, Arabic language speakers write out most or all the vowels as long ( ā with ا ʾalif, ē and ī with ي yaʾ, and ō and ū with و wāw), meaning it approaches a true alphabet. Ghayn غ – like the French r, or a super light gargle. It’s like khaa خ but rumbles more. . Ghayn, when transliterated, is represented by a gh or 3’.

used in final position only and for denoting the feminine noun/word or to make the noun/word feminine; however, in rare irregular noun/word cases, it appears to denote the "masculine"; The long vowels /a:/, /i:/ and /u:/ are represented by the letters 'alif, yā' and wāw respectively. Ranges from [ æ], [ a], [ ä], [ ɑ], [ ɐ], to [ e], depending on the native dialect, position, and stress. An intro of the special letters/sun and moon letters, plus formal as well as colloquial Levantine phrases. However, I also want to be encouraging and say that even if you only teach your child one letter of another language, that alone is a window into another world, which in and of itself is one of the loveliest gifts you can give!

Popular game where students try to find words in different categories starting with the same letter. Several different game cards as well as blank templates can be found in this file. The letter called أَلِفْ مَقْصُورَة alif maqṣūrah or ْأَلِف لَيِّنَة alif layyinah, pronounced /aː/ in Modern Standard Arabic. It is used only at the end of words in some special cases to denote the neuter/non-feminine aspect of the word (mainly verbs), where tā’ marbūṭah cannot be used. Used in Tunisia and in Algeria for loanwords and for the dialectal pronunciation of qāf ق‎ in some words. Not to be confused with ڤ‎. The table below shows vowels placed above or below a dotted circle replacing a primary consonant letter or a shaddah sign. For clarity in the table, the primary letters on the left used to mark these long vowels are shown only in their isolated form. Most consonants do connect to the left with ʾalif, wāw and yāʾ written then with their medial or final form. Additionally, the letter yāʾ in the last row may connect to the letter on its left, and then will use a medial or initial form. Use the table of primary letters to look at their actual glyph and joining types. Ranges from [ ʊ], [ o], to [ u], depending on the native dialect, position, and stress. Approximated to English "OO" (as "b oot" but shorter)The names of the Arabic letters can be thought of as abstractions of an older version where they were meaningful words in the Proto-Semitic language. Names of Arabic letters may have quite different names popularly. Depending on fonts used for rendering, the form shown on-screen may or may not be the ligature form. The Arabic alphabet ( Arabic: الْأَبْجَدِيَّة الْعَرَبِيَّة, al-abjadīyah al-ʿarabīyah [al.ʔab.d͡ʒa.dijːa‿l.ʕa.ra.bijːa] or الْحُرُوف الْعَرَبِيَّة, al-ḥurūf l-ʿarabīyah), or Arabic abjad, is the Arabic script as specifically codified for writing the Arabic language. It is written from right-to-left in a cursive style, and includes 28 letters, of which most have contextual letterforms. The Arabic alphabet is considered an abjad, with only consonants required to be written; due to its optional use of diacritics to notate vowels, it is considered an impure abjad. [2] Consonants [ edit ] And there are some letters with what seem like the same sound but are distinguishably different. It is complicated to explain the differences, so I encourage you to watch some videos hearing native speakers compare the two. The only ligature within the primary range of Arabic script in Unicode (U+06xx) is lām + alif. This is the only one compulsory for fonts and word-processing. Other ranges are for compatibility to older standards and contain other ligatures, which are optional.

In the Maghrebi abjad sequence, the letter tsade צ was split into two independent Arabic letters, ض ḍad and ص ṣad, with the latter taking the place of sameḵ. Each letter has a position-independent encoding in Unicode, and the rendering software can infer the correct glyph form (initial, medial, final or isolated) from its joining context. That is the current recommendation. However, for compatibility with previous standards, the initial, medial, final and isolated forms can also be encoded separately.In unvocalized text (one in which the short vowels are not marked), the long vowels are represented by the vowel in question: ʾalif ṭawīlah/maqṣūrah, wāw, or yāʾ. Long vowels written in the middle of a word of unvocalized text are treated like consonants with a sukūn (see below) in a text that has full diacritics. Here also, the table shows long vowel letters only in isolated form for clarity. This is one step down from full vocalization, where the vowel after the q would also be indicated by a fatḥah: قَلْب. When transliterated you might see the number nine with the number 6’, a capital TH or a z for the letter Thaw. Thal might be also be written as Th, dh or z . . .which can be confused for some other letters below. Fortunately, thal is not used much in colloquial and is often said as taa.
