‫الحرف‬ ‫مخرج‬(‫ط‬)
T * – )‫(طـا‬ ‫ط‬
One of the Interdental letters (Al-Huruf Al-Nit'iyyah). The sound comes
when the tip of the tongue touches the root of the upper incisors [i.e. tip
of tongue hits the gum line (exactly where the gum meets the teeth) of
the 2 front upper incisors].
Key Notes:
1. The most suitable method for familiarizing the correct
Makhraj, the place of origin, of a letter is to keep it
Sakin (quiescent) and add before it (Alif maftuh)Alif
having fathah. All the alphabet letters are kept in Sakin
(quiescent) for this purpose. E.g.
2. Majority ofArabic consonants should be recognized by
applying a shortArabic vowel fathah (a’). For example
the consonant shall be articulated as:
= (Tā’) or (Taa).
