vowelling accents

Asslamualikum,

Today I am going to present a new but familiar thing in Arabic language as they are vital for reciting Qur'an the proper way 

.....dramatically important as they may change the meaning of the word totally and sometimes flip it.

I call them " vowelling accents " .......in Arabic language it is very well known as " Tashkeel " 

تشكيل

Also, vowelling accent is an indicator of the Arabic language grammar rules if it is placed on the top or base of the last letter of a word.

If it is placed on the top or base of the letter ( at the beginning - mid ) of a word, it will give you an indicator on how to pronounce the letter the proper way.

DAAAAAAAAAAA ...did I lost you ? .....it is easy ....just be patient .......I will explain in this post some of these issues.ً

Why do I call them " vowelling accents " ?....(.important question before I start).......because they behave as vowels but not in a full power.......then why accents ?.......as they are placed on the top or base of the letter exactly as French language accent .

Vowelling accents :

================

the are 3 vowelling accents only .......easy , is not it ?....

 1-  Fat ' hah  (it shows on the top of the letter)

2-   Dhamm'ah (it shows on the top of the letter)

3-  Cus'rah ( it shows under the letter)

>> .....  watch this video please.

So as you notice in this video that :

Fat' hah happens when you open your mouth at the last step of pronouncing the letter as you are adding  :  aa

baa

taa

thaa

Dhamm'ah happens when you circle your lips as you are going to kiss.

bou

tou

thou

Cus'rah happens when you lower your lower jaw and it shows under the letter

bee

tee

thee

It is important to give each letter in any word the special vowelling accent especially at beginner's level as vowelling accents help you in pronouncing the words properly .

vowels and vowelling accents resemble each other in ( how -to) pronounce ( or drive ) the letter accompanied with or attached to).

to drive it up with   aaaaaaaaaa

to drive it down with   iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

to drive it into with     oooooooooo

Pronunciation Example
