Lesson 6: Letters – خ (Kha), ج (Jeem)
These letters are differentiated by the placement of dots:
-
ح (Ha) – No dot - a deep "h" sound
- ج (Jeem) – one dot below - /j/
- خ (Kha) – one dot above - /kh/ or /j/ in Spanish.

| Final | Medial | Initial | Isolated | Letter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ـج | ـجـ | جـ | ج | Jīm (j) |
