The Arabic language doesn’t use a traditional phonetic alphabet like IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), but it has its own script where letters represent consonants and long vowels — a system called "abjad." Each letter generally corresponds to a specific sound, but short vowels are usually omitted in everyday writing and marked with diacritics (small symbols) only in educational or religious texts. This makes reading more reliant on context and vocabulary knowledge. Would you like me to break down the Arabic alphabet’s sounds or explain how pronunciation works? read less
