>> You probably cannot. Exactly my point. You’re under the impression I cannot because of your limited knowledge of this topic: even if 1 letter was slightly different (which it is not), how does that discard the prononciation of 99% of the rest? >> Every region with a tradition of reciting the Qur'an has their own way of pronouncing it Plain wrong. If you knew the topic, you would know that the various way to read the Holy Quran are so close that you could just say they are identical. In my original post, I’m not even necessarily talking about the holy Quran. What about the vast poetry written in Arabic in pre-Islamic times that anyone today can read the same way? I will not get into the subject of whether I would understand it or not since you are still debating whether I would pronounce it the same way. BTW, this is very different from : how does one pronounce Latin etc.
