Arabic Vowel - Fath-hah

The image features the Fath-hah symbol used in Arabic grammar. It is represented by an inclined line (ـَ) above the alphabet. Here it is indicated by a yellow arrow. This diacritical mark (ـَ) plays a crucial role in indicating the short "a" vowel sound and is essential for correct pronunciation and reading of Arabic words. The vibrant yellow color draws attention to the symbol, making it easily recognizable for learners and enthusiasts of the Arabic language.

Arabic script diactrics may be summarised as follows:

1) Rasm or ijaa'm ( ا،ب،ت)

2) Tashkeel or supplimentary diactrics 

3) Harakaath or vowels

This chapter deals with "Fath-hah" a part of the script called Harakaath. It is equivalent to the vowel "a" as used in the Latin or English language.

The fath-ḥah ⟨فَتْحَة⟩ is a small diagonal line placed above a letter, and represents a short

" a "  (like the initial sound in English word "up").

Ed

The word fatḥah itself (فَتْحَة) means opening and refers to the opening of the mouth when pronouncing " a ".

For example, placing a fataha on the alphabet "Alif" gives the pronounciation similar to "a” as it sounds in the word "car".

Likewise placing a fataha on the alphabet "Kaaf" (  ك  )gives the pronounciation similar to "Ka” as it sounds in the word karate.


In the same way placing a fataha on the alphabet "Laam" (  ل  )gives the pronounciation similar to "La” as it sounds in the word "last". 

Based on the above example the alphabets along with the Vowel signs sound as Akala (a+ka+la) which means "he ate".
