Alif ﺍ Ba' ﺏ Ta' ﺕ Tha' ﺙ Jeem ﺝ Ha' ح Kha' ﺥ Dal ﺩ Dhal ﺫ Ra' ﺭ Za' ﺯ Seen ﺱ Sheen ﺵ Saad ﺹ Dhaad ﺽ Ta' ﻁ (this is differently prounounced from the third letter, sorry but it's really hard to write this phonetically in English, there are no English letters to represent some Arabic sounds) Dha' ﻅ Ayn ع Ghayn ﻍ Fa' ﻑ Qaaf ق Kaf ﻙ Laam ﻝ Meem ﻡ Noon ﻥ Haa ﻩ Waw و Ya ﻱ Now, all the Arabic letters I've given you are in the isolated form which is how it should be written in the alphabet. The letters are written slightly differently depending on what position they are in the word (beginning, middle, end). Some don't change at all such as waw, dal, dhal, ra' and za'. However others do for example, Jeem ﺝ , is written like this ﺟ in the beginning. They aren't major differences and they're pretty easy to pick up. I've found this website for you which tells you what each look in their different forms http://www.omniglot.com/writin g/arabic.htm Hope I've helped! |

- Can the arabic to english
translation be written without
the numbers - or does the word
lose its correct meaning?

There are 9 letters in the Arabic language that are represented by numbers when writing Arabic words in the English alphabet. This is because they don't exist in English. They have similar sounds to those in the English alphabet, but the meaning of the word may change if you try to use an English letter where the numeric representation of the Arabic character belongs. We just don't have all the sounds in the English alphabet that you find in the Arabic one. Typically, the numbers used resemble the Arabic characters they represent. The 9 numbers are as follows: 2 - أ -- this can be a glottal stop. It sounds like the 'a' in "apple" or the glottal stop in Uh-Oh. 7- ح -- the closest sound to this is a very light/aspirated 'h' sound (like when you exhale) خ - 5 -- this is most often represented with the English letters 'kh' if written in the western alphabet. It sounds most like the German and Hebrew "ch". If that still doesn't help, it sounds a bit like the sound one makes when he begins to "hawk a lugie"... sorry, I know that's a gross description, but that's what it reminds me of. Anyhow, the sound is made by making the "h" sound while closing off the back of the throat with the back part of your tongue. ص - 9 -- this is a strongly pronounced 's' sound (fill your cheeks with air while making the "s" sound). ض - '9 -- this one is a heavy 'd' sound (do the same thing you did with the "9" character, but using the "d" sound instead). ط - 6 -- this one makes a hard "t" sound. To pronounce, place the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth. Now pronounce the "t" sound on a short burst of air. It should come out sounding a bit like when a New York "wiseguy" pronounces his t's. ظ - '6 -- this character sounds most like the 'th' sound in "this". ع - 3 -- similar to the sound you make with "2", but from further back in your throat. Make the 'a' sound like in "apple"... now try it while slightly closing off your throat with the tongue. غ - '3 -- this number is most easily pronounced by making the same sound you would when pronouncing the letter "r" in French... often called a "rolling r". Hope this helps! |
