Right, the pronunciation... XD
According to the order of the letters shown above:

A
B
T
TH
J
KH (guttural H)
CH (somewhat similar to the German ch, only more guttural)
D
DH
R
Z
S
SH
S (heavier)
D (heavier)
T (heavier)
DH (heavier)
A (guttural)
G (guttural)
F
Q
K
L
M
N
H
W
Y


Arabic is difficult to pronounce. I really can not make those sounds, so I guess I'm not the right person to turn to on the exact pronunciation of those. I suppose it's possible finding recordings over the internet.

What do you mean by "guttural"? xp

Yes, it's quite similar.

@Spanishnerd: Guttural means it is produced in the throat. You can listen to examples on this page. http://www.shariahprogram.ca/Arabic-alphabet.shtml

Yeah the kh is said like the "ch" in "loch", its like a....rolled k in the back of your throat I guess, thats the only way i think to explain it.

The "H" is the coolest sounding letter, its a breathy h that's pronounced by constricting the back of your throat a little and trying to make an "hhh" sound. This h makes words sound so cool! And the "Q" is a basically a q pronounced with the back of your throat. And its the "ghayn" letter that's pronounced like the French "R"

I could NEVER do the H. How do you do it? smile

All I can say is just try to constrict the back of your throat a little when you say an H sound...really hard to explain. I love this letter though... 3nodding ...I love this LANGUAGE!! 4laugh

um ok lemme make sure I read this right is it translated:

ارموا اسلحتكم و استسلموا
rmo sleHtekem oo steslamu?

is it something like drop your weapons and surrender? ya the sentence structure is right... but on the second word *hunts through phrasbook* I think "your weapons" would be "sleHekum"... i think.... do u know what dialect it is?
