/xaliʝa/from spelling rules

jaliyah is the Spanish form of jaliyah.

How do you pronounce it?

/xaliʝa/

Did you know?

The term jaliyah does not exist in the Spanish language and appears to be a transcription error or a proper noun from a different linguistic origin.
The pronunciation /xaliʝa/ uses the Spanish letter j, which represents a harsh, raspy 'h' sound similar to the Scottish 'loch', unlike the English 'j' sound.
A Spanish speaker reading jaliyah might struggle to determine if the 'h' is silent or part of a digraph, as 'h' is always silent in Spanish.
