Abstract
In this paper, we are going to implement Arabic phonological rules. We will present the speech organs apparatus with a description of Arabic sounds. Then, we will describe the phonological changes and provide a brief linguistic study of such changes. Finally, we will propose two solutions to implement Arabic phonological rules in NooJ. The first solution is a newly developed java module in NooJ platform which deals with phonological rules using an independent formatted file. The second solution uses local grammars within the NooJ platform, to locate anomalies in words and then give the appropriate transformations.

Notes
- 1.
The table is designed according to the phonological process suggested by Spencer [5].
- 2.
El-DicAr is an automatic morpho-syntactic analyzer for Arabic language created in NooJ to recognize named entities.
- 3.
<M>: For verbs ending with t [ت], if the 1st t is vowelless followed by a vowelled t, it becomes t carrying šadda
.<Z>: The same rule for verbs ending with n
.<T>: For nouns, transform the letter tāʼ (ت) to tāʼ marbūṭah (ة) if placed in the end of word.
