Ayin: Perbedaan antara revisi

The sound represented by ayin is common to much of the [[Afro-Asiatic languages|Afrasiatic language family]], such as the Egyptian, Cushitic, and Semitic languages. Some scholars believe that the sound in [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] transcribed h₃ was similar, though this is debatable. (See [[Laryngeal theory#Pronunciation|Laryngeal theory]].)

 

 

As a substitute for the left half ring, other symbols resembling it are sometimes used, such as a superscript c (^c)<!-- ?? or with the specialized Unicode symbol {{Unicode|&#x1d9c;}} (U+1D9C {{sc|MODIFIER LETTER SMALL C}})-->, {{Unicode|&#x2bb;}} (U+02BB {{sc|MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA}}) as in [[ALA-LC]] romanization of Arabic, a single opening [[quotation mark]] (‘), the [[grave accent]] (`), {{Unicode|&#x02c1;}} (U+02C1 {{sc|MODIFIER LETTER REVERSED GLOTTAL STOP}}), or the [[IPA]] pharyngeal symbols {{IPAblink|ʕ}} (U+0295 {{sc|LATIN LETTER PHARYNGEAL VOICED FRICATIVE}}) and {{IPA|[&#x2e4;]}} (U+02E4 {{sc|modifier letter small reversed glottal stop}}). However, such substitutions obviously may cause confusion, such as with the [[glottal stop]] consonant [[hamza]].

 

 

The informal way to represent it in [[Arabic chat alphabet]] uses the digit '''3''' as transliteration.

In [[Yiddish language|Yiddish]], the ʿÁyin is used to write the vowel [[E]] (when not part of the [[diphthong]] ''ey'').

 

 

Ayin is also one of the seven letters which receive special crowns (called ''[[Tag (Hebrew writing)|tagin]]'') when written in a [[Sefer Torah]]. See [[Shin (letter)|Shin]], [[Gimmel]], [[Teth]], [[Nun (letter)|Nun]], [[Zayin]], and [[Tzade|Tzadi]].

Because the sound is difficult for most non-Arabs to pronounce, it is often used as a [[shibboleth]] by Arabic-speakers; other sounds, such as [[Heth (letter)|{{transl|ar|Ḥā}}]] and [[Ḍād|{{transl|ar|Ḍād}}]] are also used.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}}
