I've seen some people spell certain words with "sheen" as "y" such as "Shari'a" (Syariah) and "insha'allah" (insyaallah). Can anyone explain this? Is it regional, and if so, how? Is it a transliteration issue alone, or is it an actual difference of dialect?
Be as detailed as you like, I speak and read standard Arabic fluently.

Most people who use this spelling are making a transliteration from the way they have heard the words pronounced by an Urdu speaker.
The letter ﺵ (sheen in Arabic) looks the same as ﺵ (seen) in Urdu. You will find these little differences from Farsi speakers as well as others whose languages use Arabic script.
You will hear a difference in pronunciation of the noon prayer (dhuhr) pronounced as zuhr, hafid as hafiz, adhan as azan etc etc.
As long as they don't use these pronunciations when reciting Qur'an it's all good:)

It's the same..
what's important is how it is spelled in the Arabic language..
my name is Ahmad and some people spell my name Ahmed or Ahamed...
It's the same meaning, just different spelling in English in every country..

see. arabic is the language of islam, yet not every muslim speaks it. that's why when transliterating arabic words to english, the letter /sheen/ is simply written (sh).
but muslims in pakistan, india, indonesia and malaysia write the arabic words in a different style. they may write the letter /sheen/ as (sy). they're not arabs, so the sense of belonging isn't available here, and they may storm you with many strange words.
words like (aleikum massalam) or (aleikum wassalam), (hamdu li lahi), (basim lahu rahmani rahim), etc. were derived from arabic but were also deformed.
just stick to the common sense.

Insha'allah is basically the right spelling and supposed to be actually pronounced as sheen. spelling doesnt matter coz it means the same but the pronounciation shud be rite.
