Editing Nasal vowel (section)

=== Arabic scripts ===

==== Indo-Aryan ====
Nasalization in Arabic-based scripts of languages such as [[Urdu alphabet|Urdu]], as well as [[Shahmukhi alphabet|Punjabi]] and [[Saraiki language|Saraiki]], commonly spoken in [[Pakistan]], and by extension [[India]], is indicated by employing the nasal vowel, a dotless form of the Arabic letter [[nun (letter)#Arabic nūn|nūn]] ({{lang|ur|{{unq|ن}}}}) or the letter marked with the ''maghnūna'' diacritic: respectively {{lang|ur|{{unq|ں}}}}, always occurring word finally, or {{lang|ur|{{unq|ن٘}}}} in the medial form, called "[[nun gunna|nūn ghunna]]". In [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]], nasalization is represented with the standard [[Nun (letter)|nun letter]]. 

==== Classical Arabic ====
Nasalized vowels occur in [[Classical Arabic]] but not in contemporary speech or [[Modern Standard Arabic]]. There is no orthographic way to denote the nasalization, but it is systematically taught as part of the essential rules of ''[[tajwid]]'', used to read the [[Qur'an]]. Nasalization occurs in recitation, usually when a final [[nūn]] is followed by a [[Yodh#Arabic yāʼ|yāʾ]] ({{lang|ar|ي}}).<!-- {{citation needed| reason=don't delete this, but check it.|date=February 2020}} -->
