    Is this correct? Doesn't that spell rija?

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

      Why not write ريگا instead?

            Is this actually right? Because the audio says "riga" instaed of "rija"
