Example: لَبْس /b/ is pronounced as /p/ because it is followed by a voiceless sound. 2. /g/ is restricted to English but it can exist in some Arabic dialects as in the Palestinian dialect: قَلّي 3. /ʒ/ is restricted to English but it exist in Arabic dialect as in جبل in Syrian or Lebanese dialects. 4. /ŋ/ does not exist in Arabic.

11 Consonant cluster Consonant cluster is a group of consonants coming together without a vowel sound between them.

12 Consonant clusters Two consonants: sph ere, sl eep, cu ts , dogs.Three consonants: street, risked, holdsFour consonants: textsNotes: Maximum number of English consonant clusters is 4 and only final, while the maximum number in Arabic is 2.

13 Consonant clusters Consonant clusters come at initial or final positions in English words. The following are the commonest cases: Two consonants at the beginning of words: st = step sp = spot, spin sk = sky, schoolsl = sleep, sw = sweat, sweepsn = snail, snowsm = smart, smithst = stove, steel

14 Consonant clusters 2. Three consonants at the beginning of words: / spr / = spray, spread, spring. /str/ = street, struggle, strict. / skr/ = scream, screen, screw, script. /stj/ = stupid, student, /spl/ = splash, splendid, split.

Consonant clusters Word Medial Clusters: two types Intra-syllabic consonant cluster: The sequence of consonants in the word medial position which belong to the same syllable is called intra-syllabic cluster. Examples include: camping, reply, windy, extra2. Inter-syllabic cluster: If the consonants forming the cluster belong to two different syllables, we have an inter-syllabic cluster as in:blackboard /kb/description /skr/extra / kstr/import /mp/movement /vm/

16 Consonant clusters 3. Two consonants at the end of the word: / pƟ / = depth, / pt / = wept, / nt /= point, want./ts/ = cats, /gz/ = dogs, 4. Three consonants at the end of the word:Fields, risks, facts, depths, adopts, lapsed, acts, next5. Four consonants at the end of the word:Texts, prompts, twelfths,

17 Consonant clusters Arabic does not allow initial consonants clusters. It allows word final as in قلْب , نهْر , بنْت Medial could be something like استبيان
