ض
ضَاد
Daad · /ḍ/
/ḍ/
Sounds like: An emphatic 'd'. Pull your tongue back, round your lips slightly, and say 'd' with the sides of your tongue pressing against your upper molars. Arabic is called لغة الضاد (the language of Daad) because of this unique sound.
●One dot above
💡 Remember: all letters in this family share the same shape. A belly that ate too much — one dot above like a burp bubble
