Our dear Amin the deobandi/tablighee and the graduate of a glorious wahhabi school masha'allah

Anyways if we are being like that then it won't be al-Nahwi - but an-Nahwi - as the Lam is not prounced when the following is a sun letter. Elementary Arabic, of course!

ROTFL Pakistani Arabic so it is not only Nahwi as you claimed. I see so you are learing from a kafir right?

... if you write it is

al-Nahwi

Repeat after me

al-Nahwi

It is a text and this is what transliteration is all about or did you forget?

the fact that the lam here is lam shamsiyya means that it is vocalized as

a-nahwi

As the letter lam is not vocalized but it reamins in the text now do you get it?

Go and tell this one to one of your Arab masters and they will laugh at you

ya kharabi ya lahwi

And did you read my teaching transliteration for wannabe Arab? I wrote that al or al al-ta3reef that deobeandi tablighees have no clue about is written as all with both lam shamsiyya and lam qamariyya and did you understand it?
