For “خ” (strong kha) we use “kh” – This is a tricky one, and a bit more difficult for English speakers because the sound does not exist in English.It’s the sound you make when you say the first part of the letter “a” alone the “a” in “at,” or the “a” in “about.” Word examples: “ya2s” and “be2r” So it’s the “ah” sound in “hat” or “bat.” In Arabic, “ء” produces the same sound that you would make when pronouncing only the letter “a” as in the begging of the word. It is essentially an “a.” In English, when “a” is used in the middle of a word it acts as the accent to the preceding consonant. For “ء” (frozen a) we use “2” – This is an easy letter to pronounce because its sound exists in English, but it’s used differently.In Arabic “ﺕ” (thin ta) is the equivalent of “t.” The letter “ط” produces the same sound as “t” but it’s from the throat a deeper sounding “t,” and not from the top of the tongue. For “ط” (deep ta) we use “6” – Note that “ط” is not “t”. For “ﺡ” (strong sounding “hhha”) we use “7” – This is a hard “h.” The Arabic equivalent of “h” is another letter that is the letter “ﻫ” (ha).For the letter “ع” (growling aaa) we use the number “3” – This is the equivalent of a very rough “a” where the sound is produced in the throat.This is an audio guide for Common Arabic Words and Sentences
