Andalus Arabic Choir

Transliteration is representation of the characters of one alphabet (language) by the characters of another. The use of diacritics or digraphs solves the problem of different number of characters between the alphabets of the two languages.

Non-Arabic speaking members of the Andalus Arabic Choir are provided with lyrics of the Arabic songs transliterated into English. Here is an example:
Arabic verse

لمّـــا بَــدا يَتثَنّـــــــى      أمان أمان أمان أمان
حُبّـي جَمـالُـه فَتَنــــّا      أمان أمان أمان أمان

English transliterated verse:

lammã badã yataθanna      aman aman aman aman
hubbi jamalu fatannã         aman aman aman aman
