several English but where this was not possible then a dot(.) has been placed upon the English letter, e.g . ._f' = SE. 7) The 'LAAM' in the word, "ALLAH ( ~~~ )" is also read sometimes with a full mouth but this ' is represented as 'LAW' e.g. ~I ~ · = HU WUL LAW HU. 8) The letter ~ also has no equivalent in English although its sound is remotely similar to "S" of English (but without the whistling sound - if the tip of the tongue touches the top teeth when the "S" sound is pronounced, the whistling sound will be avoided).
