Reading Practice 3 Sounds and Letters Copyright © 2011 Yale University Sounds and Letters Section 1 Unit One اٹڈؽلح األڇٹى This section introduces the Arabic sounds, letters, and scripts and covers the basic phonological system of the Arabic language. Arabic has twenty-eight characters: Twenty-five are consonants and three are long vowels. Arabic also has several symbols, signs written above or below the letters, that affect pronunciation and grammatical structures. Arabic is written from right to left, and there are no capital letters. Below is a chart of the Arabic alphabet. Look at it as a whole, and listen to the accompanying audio of the alphabet being read. After you listen to the alphabet several times, click on the disk to watch and listen to a student sing the alphabet. I. The Arabic Alphabet اٹچغبئٍخ٫اٹؾوڇ ؿ ٓ ٯ ي ػ ُ ٫ ڇ ط ً ٧ ڃ س ى ٣ ٿ د ه ٟ ٻ ة م ٛ ٷ ا ك ٗ ٳ Now, look at the chart below, the name of each letter, and the way each letter is written. Letters are written in four positions: initial, medial, final position (connected), and final position (unconnected). Letters are connected in both printed and handwritten forms. They are joined by connecting strokes with the preceding and/or following letters. When we begin a word in Arabic we write the first letter in initial form and the last letter in final form. Any letters between them appear in medial form. Medial and final letters may or may not be connected to the letter preceding them, depending on whether the preceding letter is a connector. There are six letters ً ُ ٍ ً ح ىthat are not connectors; they do not connect on the the left side. If the final letter is not connected, then the letter is written in its independent isolated form. 4 Copyright © 2011 Yale University Sounds and Letters Section 1 The Arabic Alphabet in Its Traditional Order اٹؾوڇ ٫اٹچغبئٍخ Independent Name of Letter Initial Medial ا ة د س ط ػ ؿ ك م ه ى ً ُ ٓ ٗ ٛ ٟ ٣ ٧ ٫ ٯ ٳ ٷ ٻ ٿ ڃ ڇ ي أٿٲ رخء طخء ػخء ؿْڂ كخء هخء ىحٽ ًحٽ ٍحء ُحُ ْٓن ْٗن ٛخى ٟخى ٣خء ٧خء ْ٫ن ٯْن ٳخء ٷخٱ ٻخٱ الځ ڃْڂ نٌڅ ىخء ًحً ّخء ح رـ طـ ػـ ؿـ كـ هـ ى ً ٍ ُ ٓـ ٗـ ٛـ ٟـ ١ ٥ ٫ـ ٯـ ٳـ ٷـ ٻـ ٿـ ڃـ نـ ىـ ً ّـ ـخ ـزـ ـظـ ـؼـ ـــ ـلـ ـوـ ـي ـٌ ـَ ـِ ـٔـ ـ٘ـ ـٜـ ـ٠ـ ـ٤ـ ـ٨ـ ـ٬ـ ـٰـ ـٴـ ـٸـ ـټـ ـڀـ ـڄـ ـنـ ـيـ ـٌ ـْـ Final Connected Unconnected ـخ ـذ ـض ـغ ـؾ ـق ـن ـي ـٌ ـَ ـِ ـْ ـٖ ـٚ ـٞ ـ٢ ـ٦ ـ٪ ـٮ ـٲ ـٶ ـٺ ـپ ـڂ ـن ـو ـٌ ـِ ا ة د س ط ػ ؿ ك م ه ى ً ُ ٓ ٗ ٛ ٟ ٣ ٧ ٫ ٯ ٳ ٷ ٻ ٿ ڃ ڇ ي 5 Sounds and Letters Copyright © 2011 Yale University Section 1 II.

They differ in the number of dots and the placement of these dots. The دhas one dot below, the صhas two dots above it, and the عhas three dots above. In handwritten form, any two dots can run together to form a short line and any three dots can run together to form a triangle, as you see in the examples above. These letters are connectors, which means they connect on both sides with other letters. Look at the shapes and examples of the letters.

The Long Vowels ا ڇ ي There are three long vowels: the حand ً and ُ. Keep in mind, the ً and the ُ can be used as both vowels and consonants. Calligraphic image of the letter ح The alif ( )حis the first character in the Arabic alphabet. It is a long vowel and sounds like a long aa, as in „cat.‟ The حis also the bearer of the hamza ()ء, as in أand ( اwe will learn more on this later). The long vowel alif ()ح, which is pronounced as a long aa, is written from top to bottom. 8 Copyright © 2011 Yale University Section 1 ا ـب ـب Sounds and Letters ا This is how the letter حis handwritten: Calligraphic image of the letter ڇ The ً is a long vowel. It is similar to the English pronunciation oo as in „boot.‟ ڇ ـڈ ـڈ ڇ This is how the letter ً is handwritten: Calligraphic image of the letter ي The ُ is a long vowel. It sounds like ee and is similar in pronunciation to the English word „street.‟ 9 Sounds and Letters Copyright © 2011 Yale University ي ًـ ـٍـ Section 1 ٌـ This is how the letter ُ is handwritten: Again, to repeat, the حsounds like aa, the ً sounds like oo, and the ُ sounds like ee. These three vowels have different abilities to connect with other letters. The ُ is a connector that connects on both sides, but the vowels حand ً are not connectors (they do not connect on the left side). When they fall in the middle of the word, the letter after the حor ً must be written in the initial position. Look at the shapes and examples of the vowels (ُ ً )ح.

The Short Vowels: fatha, damma, kasra پخ ڇاٹٶَوحٚ اٹٮزؾخ ڇاٹ:اٹؾوٵبد In addition to the three long vowels (ُ ً )ح, there are also three short vowels. These short vowels are not letters. They are signs placed above or below the letters. Their pronunciation is equal to half the long vowels‟ pronunciation. These short vowels are fatha ( )ــَـ, damma ( )ــُـ, and kasra ( )ــِـ. Each short vowel corresponds to a long vowel: fatha corresponds to حٕٿٲ, damma corresponds to ًحٿٌح, and kasra corresponds to حٿْخء. 12 Copyright © 2011 Yale University Section 1 Sounds and Letters Fatha - اٹٮزؾخ The fatha ( )ــَـis a sign placed above a letter to represent the short vowel a. The combination of the letter دand the fatha sign ( )ــَـabove it is pronounced د َ „ba.‟ The long vowel alif ( )حrepresents the long vowel aa. Thus, the combination of the letter دand the long vowel حis pronounced رخ „baa.‟ Activity 1: Read each word aloud then click, listen, and repeat. َطـخص طـخ َطـ َرَخد رـخ َرـ ًًَح ًح ًَ َػخع ػـخ َػـ ٌرخر رخرخ رخد ًًًح ًًُح ًحًح Drill 1: Copy. رخ _____ ع َ _____ ص َ _____ د َ _____ َ ػــَْـ ذ _____ َ ٌَرَـ ص _____ َ َّــخ د _____ َّــخ _____ 13 Sounds and Letters Copyright © 2011 Yale University Section 1 Damma - پخٚاٹ The damma ( )ــُـis a sign placed over a letter to represent the short vowel u. The combination of the letter دplus the damma sign ( )ــُـis pronounced د ُ „bu,‟ as in „put.‟ The long vowel ً represents the long vowel uu. Thus, the combination of the letter دplus the long vowel ً is pronounced ٌ„ رـbuu‟ as in „boot.‟ Activity 2: Read each word aloud then click, listen, and repeat. ٌُرٌُر ٌطـُـٌطُـ ٌػــٌُػُـ ٌٌُّّـُـ ُ ٌُر د ُطـُـٌص ُػــٌُع ٌُُّـُـ رُـ ُطـ ُػـ ُ ُ Drill 2: Copy. ُّـٌص رُـٌص ______ ______ َّـظـُـٌد _____ ٌرـ ٌطـ ٌػـ ٌُّـ رخد _____ ُع _____ ُص _____ ُد _____ رُـٌص _____ ُ ػـَزَخ ص _____ َ ػخ د _____ 14 Copyright © 2011 Yale University Section 1 Sounds and Letters Kasra - اٹٶَوح The kasra ( )ــِـis a sign placed below a letter to represent the short vowel i. The combination of the letter دand the kasra sign ( )ــِـis pronounced „bi‟ as in „bit.‟ The long vowel ُ represents the long vowel ee. Thus, the combination of the letter دand the long vowel ُ is pronounced ِ„ رـbee‟ as in „bead.‟ Activity 3: Read each word aloud then click, listen, and repeat. ًُ ِػـْـؼ ِرْظ ِػ ع ِ ًُحد ًًُح ِرَخرــ ص ِ ِر د ِ طـٌص َِّـخػ ِّخطـ Drill 3: Copy. 15 ِ َرـ ض _____ ع ِ _____ ص ِ _____ د ِ _____ َّــخد _____ ِ رخ ع _____ ّخع _____ رخص _____ Copyright © 2011 Yale University Sounds and Letters Section 1 V. Sukuun اٹَـٶــُڈٿ ـــــْـــ Sukuun ( )ٓټٌڅmeans „silence.‟ It is a sign placed above a letter to indicate the absence of any vowel. For example the letter دsounds „ba‟ with fatha, „bu‟ with damma, and „bi‟ with kasra. But with sukuun, the „b‟ has no vowels. Drill 1: See the short vowels and sukuun.

The Definite Article - أداح انزعزٌف:انـ The definite article in Arabic is حٿـ, and it is written as the prefix of the word it modifies. For example, an indefinite word like „ ڃيّنشa city‟ becomes definite „ حٿڄيّنشthe city‟ when prefixed by حٿـ. All words with حٿـare definite, but there are words without حٿـthat are also definite. These include all proper nouns, names of cities, and names of countries. For example َٜ ڃ، رًَْص، ٍّڂ، ؿخٓڂare all definite without the definite article. Later, we will learn that nouns without the definite article become definite in the idafa )خٳشٟٗ )حconstruction. Activity 1: Change all the indefinite nouns to definite by adding the definite article. Listen and speak aloud. خٿذ٤حٿ خٿزش٤حٿ حالٓڂ حٿلخٽ حٿڄيّنش حٿٌالّش = = = = = = خٿذ٣ خٿزش٣ حٓڂ كخٽ ڃيّنش ًالّش + + + + + + حٿـ حٿـ حٿـ حٿـ حٿـ حٿـ 2. Gender of Nouns - انًذكز وانًؤَث Arabic nouns are either masculine or feminine. Arabic has no neutral gender. The gender of each Arabic word must be learned and memorized. In general, the feminine noun is formed from the masculine noun by adding the feminine suffix ( )سat the end of the word, such as: 93 Copyright © 2011 Yale University Lesson 1 Section 2 Fem. Noun/Adjective Masc. Noun/Adjective خٿزش٣ أٓظخًس ؿڄْڀش ٻزَْس خٿذ٣ ًأٓظخ ؿڄْپ َْٻز While it is very common to use the feminine suffix ( )سto derive a feminine noun from a masculine noun, there are some words that do not follow this pattern. For example, some nouns are feminine without having the feminine suffix, such as ٌ„ أځmother‟ and „ أهضsister.‟ There are also feminine nouns with no masculine counterpart such as ٔش َ ِ„ آنMiss‟ and masculine nouns with no feminine counterpart like „ اڃَخځImam.‟ Many parts of the body that occur in pairs are feminine without a feminine suffix, as in ٌ ْن٫ َ „eye‟ and „ َّـيhand.‟ There are also words that are feminine َ „war.‟ by usage, as in ٍ„ نخfire‟ and كَْد The feminine suffix ( )سcould occur in words which do not have a masculine form, as in „ ڃيّنشcity,‟ and in words that are masculine, as in „ هڀْٴشcaliph.‟ َ „desert,‟ or end in َـ, as in ًٍَِٻ Words that end with ـخء, as in لَْحءٛ „remembrance,‟ are usually feminine. Learning the gender of Arabic nouns is important in order to speak and write correctly. Feminine nouns require feminine pronouns and feminine adjectives. Verbs that refer to a feminine subject must agree with the feminine gender as well. For example: َرْش٬حٿڀٰش حٿ ٍّطي ًِى the Arabic language she studies and she أڃَّټْش خٿزش٣ an American a student (f.s.) (f.s.) اٿيخځ Ilham Ilham is an American student; she studies the Arabic language. Similarly, masculine nouns are replaced by masculine pronouns and are modified by masculine adjectives. Naturally, the verbs that refer to a masculine subject must agree with the masculine gender as well. 94 Section 2 Copyright © 2011 Yale University Lesson 1 Names of cities are all feminine, and names of countries are almost all feminine with a few exceptions: َحٵ٬„ حٿIraq,‟ „ حٿڄَٰدMorocco,‟ ٿزنخڅ „Lebanon,‟ „ حٍٕىڅJordan,‟ and „ حٿٌٔىحڅSudan‟ are all masculine nouns. (See Appendix for a full list of Arab countries and their capital cities.) We will learn the Arabic nouns and their genders as we progress. For now, let‟s learn how to use the feminine suffix ( )سto derive a feminine noun from the corresponding masculine form. Activity 2: Change the masculine nouns to feminine nouns by adding the feminine suffix. خٿزش٣ ُڃ َيٍِٓش أٓظخًس ڃڄظخُس أڃَّټْش ٻٌّظْش ْٴش٤ٿ = = = = = = = س س س س س س س + + + + + + + خٿذ٣ ٍُِّڃ َي ًأٓظخ ُُڃڄْظخ ِأڃَّټ ِٻٌّظ ْٲ٤ٿ Figure 1.2 - Narrated by Abdulaziz Abu Sag and Dhekra Toumi 95 Copyright © 2011 Yale University Lesson 1 Section 2 3.

Poetry has represented and helped to preserve Arab identity throughout the ages. The complex and refined poetic arts eloquently express, report, and document the news, events, and wars of the Arabs, in victory or defeat, glory or decline. Above all, poetry has been a great manifestation of artistic creativity, engendering the emotional and spiritual power that unified the Arabs into a community of nations long before Islam. Below are a few verses of modern Arabic love poetry by the Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani (1923-1998).* Identify as much of the vocabulary as you can, memorize the verses that you like most, and enjoy the reading. Nizar Qabbani was known for the beauty of his handwriting and for his impressive calligraphy skills. In the right hand column is the handwritten version of these verses, written by the poet himself. The verses are read by Lebanese journalist Joumana Nammour, a popular anchorwoman on Al-Jazeera Satellite Channel. 101 Section 2 Copyright © 2011 Yale University Lesson 1 ٳـټـَـَْصُ أڃْــْ ِ ،رلُـزـِـِ ٿـٺِ طـٌَٻـَــَْصُ ٳـَـْـــؤس ً ٷـَـ٤ـَـَحصِ حٿَ٬ـَٔــپ ٫ڀــَ ٗـَـٴـَـظــَـْْــ ِ ٺ ٳـَـڀـَـلَـْٔــضُ حٿُٔــټــَـََ ٫ن ؿُــيٍْحڅ ًحٻِـَطـِــِ ٳِ أَّخځ حٿَٜـْْـ ِ ٲ أطڄـيَّىُ ٫ڀَ ٍڃخٽ حٿَ٘خَِ٣ء ًأڃخٍُّ ىٌِحَّش حٿظٴټَْ رٺِ ٽ ٿڀزَلْـَ ڃخ أُٗ٬ـَُ رــِوِ نـَلٌَْٹِ ٿٌ أنـَنِِ أٷٌ ُ ٿظـَََٹَ ٌَٗحِ٣ـجـَوُ ًأْٛيحٳـَوُ ًأْٓـڄخٻـَ ُو ًطـَزـِـَ٬ــنِـِ ٕڅَ ٻالځَ حٿٸٌحڃْْ ڃخ ْ ص ٕڅَ ٻالځَ حٿڄټخطْذِ ڃخصْ ٕڅَ ٻالځَ حٿًَحّخصِ ڃخ ْ ص أٍّيُ حٻـْظِ٘خٱَ َّ٣ٸش ِْ٘٫ـٶ أكِزُـٺِ ٳْيخ رال ٻـَـڀِڄخصْ 102 Section 2 Copyright © 2011 Yale University Lesson 1 ِطـَْٔـؤٿـُنِِ كزْزظ ڃخ حٿٴـََْٵُ ڃخ رْنِ ًڃخ رْنَ حٿٔڄخ؟ حٿٴـََْٵُ ڃخ رْنـَـټـُڄَخ ِـَلِـټـْـضِ ّخ كزْزظٟ ْأنـَـٺِ اڅ أنٔــَ حٿٔــڄخ أهخٱ أهخٱُ أڅ أٷٌٽَ ٿڀظِ أكِـزُيخ .""أكِـزُيخ ٳخٿوَـڄَُْ ٳِ ؿـََِحٍىخ .ُـزُيخٜنيڃخ نـ٫ ،ًطـوـََُٔ َٗ ْـجخ * Nizar Kabbani.

It is one of the most widely read books ever written, and has been translated into almost every language. However, many experts believe that only the Arabic language fully captures its religious power and literary beauty. As the Qur‟an itself reveals: “We have made it an Arabic Qur‟an that you might understand.” (The Qur‟an: 43:3) While most non-Muslims are aware that the Qur‟an is the religious text of Islam, its significance also extends beyond the spiritual realm to other aspects of Islamic life. The Qur‟an demonstrates the remarkable depth and richness of the classical Arabic language. The Qur‟an has also served as the textbook for Muslim students beginning their study of theology and jurisprudence. Listen to the Qur‟anic verses from Sura (93), Ad-Duha „the Glorious Morning Light,‟ recited by Sheikh Abdul Basit Muhammad Abdul Samad. Listen to the Sheikh and read the text of the Qur‟anic verses he recites. Try to identify a few of the vocabulary words and memorize a few verses, but most importantly, listen attentively to appreciate the aesthetic aspect of the verses. 114
