Abstract
The current study tackles the phenomenon of velarization both in English and Arabic. Velarization means raising the back of the tongue towards the soft palate in which the mouth becomes full of resonance of the sound. Velarization or (Al-Tafkheem ) is one of Al- Tajweed rules which requires specific performance. The problem of this study is the multiple letters of Arabic velarization with various features and exits which are not like English .
This study aims at making a comparison between English and Arabic, presenting the definitions , the means of occurring of this process , the organs of speech used to perform it and to search the degree of similarity and difference between the two languages. This study hypothesizes that the properties of velarization in both languages are different, the sounds of velarization in English and Arabic have different places of articulation and there are aspects totally dissimilar.
The data are collected from various English and Arabic references. This study includes two figures of dark and light / l / in both languages, examples to clarify the explanation and a diagram which summarizes the phenomenon of Al-Tafkheem in Arabic.
