My morrocan teacher mentioned some sort of rule from the classical linguists (he mentioned no name or source) that said basically anything that is read [jamjam] can be read [gamgam]. But there is no distinctive [g] sound for sure in terms of writing. And in terms of phonetics based on Qurayshi dialect, there is no [g] at all! Anyways, I was wondering if you knew the source of that rule? In Farsi, we just have a seperate letter because we need it in our writing, I'm sure you've seen it and it looks like this [گ].Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13177437.post-20519438556638197172007-01-08T01:40:00.000+01:002007-01-08T01:40:00.000+01:00Mabrouk, hope your eid was restive and festive.:)Mabrouk, hope your eid was restive and festive.:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13177437.post-22815003964736312062007-01-05T18:51:00.000+01:002007-01-05T18:51:00.000+01:00lameen,
