Ya is one of the two semi- consonants of Arabic. Depending on the word it stands for a consonant or serves the Vokallängung.

  • When the consonant Ya corresponds to the J in " Julius " and the " Y " in " yacht". It is reproduced in the DMG romanization with "y";
  • As a sign of the Vokallängung Ya stands for the closed ( = "long") I like " Ida ", as elongation of the short i ( Kasra ). It is in the DMG romanization then as the " i " with a line over it reproduced ( ī ).
