ARABIC SHORT VOWEL-MARKS OVERVIEW
|
In Arabic, there
are 3 short vowel-marks, and 3 long vowel-marks. The short vowel-marks enable
the letter to make a sound in a similar way to the English language. In the
same way a word cannot be made in the English language without one of the 5
vowels (a, e, i, o or u), in Arabic one cannot make a word without a vowel
being used. |

the long vowel lengthening the sound of the /Kasrah/ from 'i' into 'ee'. We
have not covered the joining of letters yet, so just read the letters
