The mouth (      الفَم ) is the part of the body that has a lot of very important functions, among them eating (      الأكل ), speaking (      التحدث ), and breathing (      التنفس ). It uses its many different parts for all these functions. It has a lot of parts, some of which are the teeth (      الأَسْنان ), lips (      الشفاه ), gums (      اللثة ), tongue (      اللسان ).
