Transcription: I sometimes use phonetic script to transcribe but more often than not I use a

slightly adapted form of Arabizi (a way Arabic speakers write english with latin letters).

Key: ʔ = 2 (glottal stop sound) often used for ق which is generally not pronounced as a “q”

in levantine dialect as it is in MSA.

ʕ = 3 used to represent the ع consonant.

Then for all emphatic consonants I just used capital letters aka : ص S ح H ط T etc.
