KKF… that’s what I’m talking about.

Written in English “Anya” it is not pronounced like “aaniyah” so one needs to be clear about what word they are talking about.

Anya doesn’t have a long ‘a’ sound.

EXACTLY

^ it’s pronounced aaniyah in english too when its written out anya. how else would it be pronounced? AN-ya, like AN apple? cos that’s definitely not right.

its not just an arabic name, its also polish, and all the Anya’s i know, muslim or not, are pronounced Aaniyah.

aaniyah آنِيَةٍ] the way it is spelled in Arabic is ALIF madd = aa, noon zer, ye, chhoTii he] while a single** A = alif and NOT alif madd.
