Niyyah before fasting.

[Hamza Aslam]

One must have niyyah before fasting or their fast is not valid.
So can one just say niyyah in the heart
or does it have to be aloud?
Is there a specific one that Prophet Muhammad taught us Arabic
or can it be in any language?
One must say niyyah before Fajr but when is the earliest one can say it?
Jazakallah. Inshallah we all have a good Ramadan!

Sorry but like many non Arab Muslims I can read Arabic but I don't know what it means unless translated. Jazakallah though.
