You may have noticed the tick () in some places, it is the equivalent of a soundless a or a brief stop,
which is the closest sound to a letter which only exist in Arabic.
The th is sometimes pronounced as th of that and sometimes as th of think, I usually state how
you should pronounce it.
In Arabic there are two types of "h", the sharp h and the regular "h", the sharp one is hard to
pronounce for many foreigner however a person can be understood even the sharp "h" is pronounced as
a regular "h".
