Shadee Elmasry – 26. The Two Ways of Pronouncing the Laam

The lamb is pronounced in two different ways. So cream is so

pronounced it like the heavy L in Lion, okay enter key is to soften

it right with the tongue should

soften it with the tongue touching the roof of the mouth behind the

teeth as heard in Spanish lamb. So you have two in one in English and

one in Spanish while both exists in Arabic, like you have Allah

easy, right? Because it's the easier land that the land that is

that is fat and that is the tongue coming out of the mouth look like

Lamb Lion. Okay. And then you have the L sound that you find in some

European language and in Spanish. Okay.

That is the teeth the tip of the tongue touching the back of the

teeth. Okay, so we could say Abu Lahab Abu Lahab Abu Lahab right or

the tongue touching the roof of the mouth Abu Lahab right you

don't say Abu Lahab it's not like that. So it's lamb right and let a

lot and mainly it's in Allah

and then very few times like in worse it's more often they'll say

salah, Salah, not solid Salah No. So you have Salah in worse Salah

in halfs so in most cases it will be the lighter lamb, which again,

an English speaker would have to learn to pronounce because we're

we're used to saying the thicker. L as in Lion
