Is "english" supposed to sound like "inGaliisii" or "inJaliisii"?
The TTS is inconsistent, ive heard it both ways now.

It depends on the speaker's dialect. MSA is widely pronounced with the "J" sound for the letter ج (jeem.) But, Egyptians pronounce this letter ج like a G (geem.)
yes, even though there is no "g" sound like that in Arabic, it is pronounced this way as it is a foreign word I think.

It depends upon which country the Arabic speaker is from. In MSA it is a "j" sound, but Egyptians, for instance, pronounce "jeem" as "geem". Educated speakers, we've been told, will try to pronounce English words the way English speakers pronounce them. So, we will hear both ways.

Daawuud(u) is pronounced Daawuud(u), not Dawwawd(un). I swear to Jesus I've heard like three different versions of this word coming from the same TTS engine now! xD
Yeah, the problem is that David in Arabic is داود and they should write it as such.
But داود is the most common one and it’s easier on the text-to-speech system to pronounce correctly. Even other spellings have ا in them. See https://ar.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/داود
Does إِنْجِليزِيّ also mean the language English, or just someone from England?

Pretty sure that is just a masculine adjective, I believe for the language you would use اللغة الانجليزية

You don't always need to say اللغة, but true, languages are usually feminine and definite in MSA. They are usually masculine and indefinite in dialect though, so إنجليزي does refer to the "English" language in day-to-day usage.

'English' / إِنْجِليزِي refers to people from England, doesn't it? So, I was wondering what terms you use to say 'Britain', 'the UK' and 'British'. Thank you!
