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.
