Letter by letter
Arabic writes the long vowels and the consonants; most short vowels are not written, and a letter English does not sound is dropped.
| Latin | Arabic | Why |
|---|---|---|
| J | ج | jim (ج) stands for the J sound |
| o | و | the long o is written with waw (و) |
| h | — | silent in English, so not written |
| n | ن | nun (ن) for n |
Other spellings
