The things that decorate Arabic script to clarify pronunciation are the short vowels (a, e, and i in English); the doubler (shadda) which increases the strength of a consonant; the sukuun, which says that two consonants are to be pronounced without a vowel between them; hamza, which is a glottal stop, and a tilde on top of an aleph, which is pronounced as an N. The short vowels are not printed except in dictionaries and the Qur'an; this did me dirt one day when I spoke of a stop sign as a "qaf" sign -- it's actually a "qif" sign.
