Since some of the sounds used in Urdu are not present in English, or any other European language therefore, it is difficult to create or explain such sounds using just written words as the means of teaching. I have tried to explain to the best of my ability such sounds and where ever you see an '*' do pay more attention to the notes below the alphabet. Also soon I will try to add the sounds of the alphabets that you can see as well as hear what they are like. That will take some time, but will be done. So please be patient and revisit me soon.


Alif Madd Ä*Alif Madd Ä
Lengthened form of Alif. *The sound of this is same as the English word 'A' but not to pronounced as "Aye" rather "Aa"
AlifAlif
Alif is the first letter of the Arabic, Persian and Urdu Alphabets.
BayBay
Bay is the second alphabet in Urdu, Arabic and Persian Languages.
PayPay
It is the third letter of Urdu and Persian alphabets. It does not occur in the Arabic alphabets.
Ttay*Ttay
It is the third letter of Arabic and the fourth letter of Persian and Urdu Alphabets.
*Here you need to try and produce the sound of two 'T's together. This is not to sound like the word "Tea" rather softer. The flick of the tongue is not used in this pronunciation. Just touch the tongue to the front top of the palate at the root of the front teeth.
Tay*Tay
It is the fifth letter of the Urdu and eleventh letter of the Hindi alphabet. It does not occur in the Arabic or Persian alphabets.
*Its sound of pronunciation differs from that of "Ttay" in being formed by the forcible application of the tip of the tongue to the palate. Instead of the roots of the teeth.

*It is a guttural letter, formed by the compression of the top of the throat near the mouth, and contains the mixture of the sounds of 'k' and 'h'. It has no corresponding sound in English language. You need to pay specific attention that the sound is not like the word "Kay" but rather rough. An example can be that of a cat when it is angry and makes than khrkhrkhr sound. So in a way you can say that it can also be spelled like "Khr'Ay" where the r' is to be touch very very slightly.
Dall*Dall
It is the eighth letter of the Arabic, the tenth of the Persian and the eleventh of the Urdu Alphabets. Its sound is much softer and dental than that of the English 'D'. In a way you can pronounce it as the English word "Thee" and its sound will be like the "th" in the word "The".
