Best Answer

There are two "r"-like sounds in Arabic.

The first is traditionally considered the "r" in transcriptions, the ra (ر). It is the same "r" sound in Spanish or Italian, but not English. It is what is linguistically called a "flapped r".

The second is usually transcribed as "gh" in transcriptions, the ghain (غ). It is very similar to the "r" sound in French, but not English. It is a guttural noise.

I can't read Arabic so how would you spell and SOUND out Hair of the Sea in Arabic?

I think the answer was not what the initial sentence is ment to be. In other words it is a word by word pronounciation of the English words"Hair of the Sea" to be able to say it in Arabic, first I should know exactly was does it mean as a sentence not as a group of words. Simply, because there is nothing in Arabic called Hair of the Sea. It seems to me like a metaphoric sentence!!!! The previous answer was correct but people do not talk that way in most Arab countries.. the better more common everyday "sound" would be:EL Bahr instead of AL...and you actually skip the "E" sound so that it would sound as if the R is directly followed by the L, to sound like Sha'rilbahremail me iuf you like to know more.. would be happy to help.. BasilPREVIOUS ANSWER: you would say it like '' sha'ar al bahr'' which means hair of the sea.
