Tashkeel

Tashkeel is a traditional Arabic system of adding marks or symbols to written text, primarily to indicate pronunciation, vocalization, and grammatical features. These markings help clarify how words should be spoken, especially in classical or formal contexts like the Quran, poetry, and literature. Tashkeel includes symbols such as vowels, consonant markers, and pronunciation guides. While often omitted in everyday writing, Tashkeel is essential for precise understanding, language learning, and preserving correct pronunciation, ensuring the intended meaning is accurately conveyed across different readers and contexts.
