- leviathan 15y agothe pronunciation you mentioned are actually for the letters د and ض
- Cyph0n 15y agoNo, they aren't. د and ض are pronounced as dal and dahd respectively. I know this because I'm a native Arabic speaker. http://arabic.speak7.com/arabic_alphabet.htm http://arabic.speak7.com/arabic_alphabet.htm
- leviathan 15y agoI'm a native arabic speaker too. I think I misunderstood your intention of using "dh" in "dhad", I would have used "thad." This misunderstanding stems from the fact that we're both trying to write a sound that cannot be expressed correctly in latin.
- Cushman 15y agoThis conversation would be much more productive if you both used IPA rather than trying to write sounds that don't exist in English :P
