Check my pronunciationWhat makes Arabic pronunciation hard
Tono scores Arabic against the Saudi model. Arabic uses the back of the mouth and the throat more than most languages, and its emphatic consonants darken the vowels around them.
-
ع and ح
Both are made by tightening the throat. ح is a strong, breathy h; ع adds voice to the same squeeze.
عين, حب, بحر
-
Emphatic consonants
ص ض ط ظ are said with the back of the tongue raised, which makes the vowels next to them sound darker. سيف is a sword; صيف is summer.
سيف, صيف, تين, طين
-
ق and ك
ق is made further back than k, against the uvula. قلب is a heart; كلب is a dog.
قلب, كلب, قال
