"Riga and Dakar"

Translation: ريجا وَداكار

[RyJpJqrp]

The correct word is ريغا.

[tuxayo]

It should be reported when getting just after getting the question then.

[xargs1]

Why is the jeem being pronounced like a G here?

[Mr.Andreas]

My question exactly. In fact, there is no English g sound in Arabic.

[carrodactyl]

Swiftkey keeps changing the characters ى and و into ىو. It reads it as a typo. Any idea why?

[littlemiss1123]

Hit the ك key instead of the ى. The two are different letters, but they look similar because in Arabic letters change shape by location in the word. The program does this automatically.

[Amol62014]

Why is the long vowel alif used in dakar instead of fatha?

[_ijas_]

Shouldn't it be دكار rather than داكار

[Mr.Andreas]

The g in Riga does NOT match the given word in sound.

[CoolBlueTu]

i thought there was no "g" in arabic???
but "riga" is a loan word so idk

[Tartinskihs]

ريغا مش ريجا

[Daxtonator]

What's the difference?

[gshacklebolt]

Why not write ريگا ?

[RyJpJqrp]

The letter گ is not an Standard Arabic letter. It is used in Urdu and Persian. The Arabic Wikipedia and most Arab states use ريغا.

How do I write the symbol for "and" on an arabic phone keyboard ? I only have the symbol "و" and can't find out how to add the little line over it to make it correct.

[donuts4483]

I use the algerian arabic keyboard.

[Giorgio182480]

In the one I use, there's a button to the right of space, which gives a selection of various extra squiggles.

[donuts4483]

Yeah I found that by now, thx though !
