It pronounces as it looks. It's the transliteration of the Arabic signs.

Except that a) any decent transliteration will be diacritic-heavy because of the sheer number of consonants, so many of those letters/letter combinations are ambiguous, and b) I think four consonants in a row violates a phonological rule somewhere (though it could be a dialect thing).
