==November 2022 CL - Classical Arabic Grammar==
Many of the standard articles that we use for Arabic names rely on particular transliterations systems, some relatively casual (not distingushing long and short vowels or emphatic consonants from their non-emphatic equivalents) and others relatively complete and scholarly. Most, however, do not clearly show the way the article al- 'the' is pronounced before the "sun consonants" in classical Arabic. For these consonants, the l assimilates to the following sound, so that in the name al-Zahra' the article is pronounced \az\ even though it is written al- in many transliteration systems.
For more information about how the particle al behaves when it is followed by a sun or a moon consonant in Classical Arabic, please reference this excellent guide by Sara al-Garnatiyya, Beacon Principal Herald: https://sarasartsandsciences.wordpress.com/2021/12/12/classical-arabic-grammar-diatrical-marks-the-definite-article-sun-letters-and-moon-letters/. We encourage people to consider transliterations that include that pronunciation information but remind remind submitters and heralds alike that any standard transliteration of non-Roman letters is acceptable, as long as the whole name is consistent, per SENA Appendix D.
