Abstract

Arabic has two unique consonants, namely voiced pharyngeal fricative and voiceless glottal plosive. These consonants are spread in al-Quran, including in surah al-fatihah. This surah is frequently recited by al Muslim in the world, including Sundanese people. This research discusses the adaptation of those two consonants pronounced by Sundanese people.By using some theories related to vowels and consonants both in Arabic and Sundanese, the researcher revealed the shifting sound from Arabic to Sundanese. Facilitated by praat; doing phonetic by computer, the researcher compared and analyzed the different sounds in Arabic and Sundanese. The result shows that those Arabic consonants are shifted to be vowels in Sundanese. Besides they are hard to produce, the nearest way of Sundanese people in producing the sounds are by eliminating those consonants, just to pronounce the only the vowels of the sound. In conclusion, it needs more training for these two sounds to have a better sounds for their daily prayer.
