Noorani Qaida Lesson 29
Lesson 29

Shaddah after long vowels

Read shaddah as a doubled consonant: the first part is still and the second carries the written vowel.

Source page 29
How to practise

Split the doubled letter mentally into two: first with sukun, then the same letter with its vowel. Read them as one firm sound.

Pronunciation guide

Shaddah doubles the consonant. Hold the closure or articulation slightly longer without creating a separate vowel.
