Silent letters

Silent letters are letters that you can't hear when you say the word,
but that are there when you write the word.
There are no rules, you just have to learn them
الحروف الصامتة هي حروف لايمكن سماعها
عند التلفظ بالكلمة
لكن نجدها عند كتابة هذه الاخيرة
ليست هنالك قواعد محددة
يجب فقط ان يتم حفظ هذه الكلمات
