Sounds & Letters
Notes:
The sounds [ /p/ ุจ _ /v/ ู _ /g/ ู ] are mainly used in words of French origin that we use in daily speech.
The letters [ ุธ _ ุถ ] are pronounced the same in Algerian Arabic (dialect), but not in Classical Arabic.
The sounds [ /dh/ ุธ _ /dh/ ุถ _ /dh/ ุฐ ] are sometimes pronounced as /d/ in everyday speech, especially in some northern regions of Algeria.
