"Riga"

Translation: ريجا

[sumasuny]

Is this correct? Doesn't that spell rija?

[Sean_Roy]

The letter ج is often used to transliterate 'g' into Arabic. In fact, in Egypt, this letter is pronounced as a hard English 'g'.

[gshacklebolt]

Why not write ريگا instead?

[mojo784298]

That's letter is "gaaf" , Urdu not Arabic

[ZaZahid]

Is ريقا correct?

[_FiX_]

this is a proper noun that has no origins in Arabic so there is no real standardization, so the answer may not be too clear.

However, in MSA - a Yemeni qaaf is considered acceptable in some situations (an inheritance from Classical Arabic), so this is probably acceptable.

[Sarfaraz4u]

It is rija not riga

[TharunChan2]

Who/what is Riga?
