 I do not attempt to map the special Semitic guttural consonant //ayin// to a Latin letter following pronunciation of a European language, as this sound is very peculiar to most Europeans. In transcription of Arabic, it is sometimes represented by superscript //c//. We use the IPA symbol ˀ (MODIFIER LETTER GLOTTAL STOP).

+The letter ں (NOON GHUNNA) occurs only at the end of the word and marks nasalization of the preceding vowel rather than a real consonant.
+There are two //h// letters: ہ (HEH GOAL) and ھ (HEH DOACHASHMEE). It is not necessary to distinguish them by diacritics as they occur in different positions. The normal consonant //h// is written using ہ (HEH GOAL), which can also appear at the end of the word to mark an (otherwise invisible) word-final short vowel //a// (transcribed //ah//). In contrast, ھ (HEH DOACHASHMEE) is used exclusively after other consonants (such as //k, g, č, j, t, d, b, p//) to form their aspirated counterparts. Thus, بھ is //bh//, پھ is //ph// etc.
