In Arabic, it is preferred to use the 'tanween' ('un') to clarify the pronunciation - especially on the final letter of a word. For example - instead of /Bā’/ you have to say 'Bā-un'. The letter name is still /Bā’/ but have to use the 'un' to clarify the pronunciation. Please note that the Arabic script is read from right to left. Pleas...
