First Arabic thread?

مَاْء ('maa) - singular mass noun "small/large amount of water"
مِيْاَه (miyaa) - plural mass noun "large amount of water"

Can somebody tell me
1) why ء is used with no corresponding sound and
2) why ء becomes ه ?

Speaking in Arabic doesn't require being a Muslim (BTW I'm an atheist). I'm more interested in the secular parts of the Arabic world, including women:

But also it would be great if I could debate Muslim fuckwits in their native language:

arabic is not that hard to learn
and it's actually quite nice

but I hate that they put "allah" into almost each sentence

you lie. Arabic is throaty garbage. It sounds awful and I want to slaughter everyone that speaks it, just like the Turkish language.

Both are terrible and a language shift should be forced upon both of them.

The Hamza is not a vowel. But the sukun is.
The difference is rather important I wish I knew how to explain it to you :(
Hamza is like the sound between o and i in going whereas sukun simply states that the letter is followed by another letter without an a i or u, in between.
If you think that is nonsense keep in mind that the short vowels are actually not written at all but are only used in the Qur'an, poems and books that teach arabic.

The sign you're talking about is called hamza and it represents a consonant sound that doesn't exist in English. It's made by closing together your vocal chords and releasing, kinda like the sound of a very mild dry-heave.
