Transliteration main Arabic transliteration Shia Islam The singular adjective form of Shi ah lang ar is Shi i lang ar . The apostrophe frequently used e.g. Shi a is technically incorrect, since the Arabic letter is the ayin lang ar , standardly represented with a grave accent , left half circle unicode , or turned comma . The apostrophe represents the hamza , which has a noted difference in pronunciation. The final Arabic letter is the ta marbuta , which also causes difficulty in transliteration. It is often pronounced as a soft h e.g. Shi ah , but in a status constructus construct state , and in more classical Arabic, it is pronounced as a t e.g. Shi at Ali . The ta marbuta is frequently dropped in transliteration e.g. Shia . Due to the complexities of Arabic, there are approximately 30 possible transliterations of lang ar .
