بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Why is transcription not in Azerbaijani?

We know many users want to read dua transcription using Azerbaijani letters. This page explains why it's currently in English.

Arabic text

سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

English transcription — available

Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi

International standard exists and is used in the app

Azerbaijani transcription — not available

Sübhanəllahi və bihəmdihi ?

No official or standardized version exists

What's the reason?

Azerbaijani transcription simply doesn't exist

Nobody — not in books, not online — has created a standard way to write Arabic words using Azerbaijani letters. A standard does exist in English, so that's what we use.

Why don't we write our own?

A mistake in religious text leads to wrong pronunciation. That's why we don't add unverified content.

English letters are familiar

The Azerbaijani alphabet is based on Latin letters, so English transcription is readable for most users.
