A palatalized consonant is pronounced with the blade of the tongue pressed up against the hard palate. A palatalized consonant sounds like a consonant plus the [y] sound of “yes” pronounced at the exact same time. The letter ь ( мягкий знак ) indicates that the preceding consonant is palatalized.

In addition to ь, the vowel letters е, ё, и, ю, and я also indicate that the preceding 
consonant is palatalized.

بِلَادْ الشَام هيَ أَرْبَعَة دُوَلْ, سوريا و الأُرْدُن و فِلِسْطِين ولُبْنَان.
مِن نَاحِيَة المَسَاحَة سوريا أَكْبَر شَي, بَعْدَين الأُرْدُن وبَعْدَهَا فْلِسْطِينْ وأَصْغَر شِي لُبْنَان.
الأُرْدُن فِي الجَنُوب وفِيهَا البَحْر المَيِّت, أَغْلَب سُكَّانْهَا مِن فِلِسْطِين وأَهَلْهَا إِسْمَهُم النَشَامَى.
لُبْنَان فِي الغَرْب و جُزْء كَبِير مِنْهَا سَاحِل, كَمَان فِيهَا جِبَال وطَبِيعَتْهَا جَمِيلَة.
فِلْسِطِين كَمَان فِي الغَرْب وأَغْلَب مُدُنْهَا عَلَى السَاحِل. فِيهَا أَولْ القِبْلَتَين (المَسْجِد الأَقْصَى).
سُورْيَا فِي الشَمَال وجُزْء صَغِير مِنْهَا عَلَى السَاحِل بس كَمَان يَمُر خِلَالْهَا نَهْر الفُرَات ودِجْلَة. طَبَعًا عَاصِمَتْهَا دِمَشْق أَقْدَم عَاصِمَة بِالتَارِيخ.
