Thanks a lot, especially for the explanation, as I've never known what the numbers in the transliterations mean, it's really helpful and educating :)

You're welcome :)
I know how confusing it is to see these numbers within the text. But there is no other way to deliver a closer pronunciation to these letters with no equivalents in English.



Numerals to letters :
2: Small pause. Equivalent to Arabic letter ء
3: Has no equivalent in English. Can be pronounced also as a small pause. Equivalent to Arabic letter ع
3': Has no equivalent in English. Can be pronounced as G letter (Better as German letter R). Equivalent to Arabic letter غ
4: Like the combination SH. Equivalent to Arabic letter ش
6: Like T but a bit harder. Equivalent to Arabic letter ط
7: Has no equivalent in English. Can be pronounced as H letter. Equivalent to Arabic letter ح
7': Has no equivalent in English. Can be pronounced also as K letter (Better as German letter CH or Russian letter X). Equivalent to Arabic letter خ
9: Has no equivalent in English. Can be pronounced as S letter but a bit harder. Equivalent to Arabic letter ص
