ض
This is how you pronounce Daad (ض) in Arabic:
When you pronounce a “D” in English, the tip of your tongue touches the part where your top central incisors meet your gums. Move the tip of your tongue a little further back and pronounce the letter “D” again. The resulting sound is much “thicker”. This is the Arabic letter Daad (ض).In Modern Standard Arabic and many dialects, it represents an “emphatic” /d/, and it might be pronounced as a pharyngealized voiced alveolar stop [dˤ]ⓘ, pharyngealized voiced dental stop [d̪ˤ] or velarized voiced dental stop [d̪ˠ].[1]
ﺫ
The Arabic letter dhal is pronounced dh like in the English word ‘this’.
In the phonetic alphabet, the pronunciation of dhal is written [ð]. Voiced dental fricative in IPA. On this website, I write the pronunciation dh.
