Did you know that the
Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters?
Did you also know that for each of the 28 letters there can be
six different sounds produced depending on the attached vowel?
Arabic has
three
short and three long vowels. When anyone of these vowels is coupled with a consonant the consonant sounds different.
Note a consonant can
carry no vowel for the "pure" or
"default" sound of the letter! No vowel means the consonant carries a
sequoun (ﮦ).
Listen below to each of the 28 letters. First you will
hear the letter with no vowel then with the six consecutive vowels.
