I was studying Arabic for a long time and thoroughly enjoyed learning; I recently switched to Spanish for work purposes. Great video. In my experience the english speakers who attempted to learn Arabic struggled.
Out of curiosity, did you also study Arabic dialects or just MSA? How hard is it to go from studying MSA to a dialect like Eyptian or Jordanian Arabic?
@@Aadrian7 Hi there. I grew up understanding levantine dialect from my parents. When I was in law school I took Arabic courses and studied MSA on my own. The transition was hard but not impossible. There are many irregular verbs and one must get accustomed to the case endings. It was pretty difficult. The other students struggled I felt. Moreover, some of the letters are hard to pronounce. Spanish is obviously quite a bit easier to learn for english speakers. I imagine going from MSA (if you have a solid grasp) to dialect is not as difficult. I hope this helps. Another thing, the textbook the class utilized (Alkitaab) was not concise nor did it explain concepts well. Finding the best book is essential.
Brilliantly put together! Thank you shedding light on the Arabic learning journey. Hoping this motivates many people to learn our beautiful language ❤️

The Next most recognized dialect is the Levantine or Shaami dialect because a few countries speak it such as Syria or (Shaams), Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan.
Choosing a dialect - pronunciation - occurs after acquiring the language. The choice of tone is determined by several factors, including, for example, the destination. I hope this is what you mean
I advise everyone to learn the Arabic language for many reasons because it is an important language in understanding world politics and in understanding the rich archeology of the Arab world and in trade because the emerging Arab countries are growing their economy strongly and in literature because the Arabic language is the richest language in the world in terms of poetry and aesthetics because the Arabs were the most poetic and eloquent people in the world And in understanding ancient history from an Arab perspective, as well as important in the study of comparative religions because the Arabic language is the language of the Qur’an and the hadith of the Prophet, and they are the two books that Muslims depend on in understanding their religion.
Finally a video about this language. Even though Arabic has a more recent written history than Hebrew, it is actually closer to what Proto Semitc might have looked like, both in grammar and pronunciation. And to all of the new students to Arabic, I say: don't stress about the standard/dialects duality. It is not so hard to pick up the spoken versions if you dedicate some time to listening to media from those places, like vlogs.
This was a great anxiety of mine: what kind of Arabic to learn? So I am learning some MSA and I will learn other things later, I just want to get some kind of foundation.
Your Arabic book of short stories is excellent. And then it seems you set Arabic aside. I am so exited that you are launching back into Arabic….please please please go beyond intermediate.
Its so intimidating and difficult in my experience because of its complexity and just being totally different from any other one I know, but I hope to learn it one day after all. Thank you for shining so much light on one of the most incredible languages full of beauty and wisdom.
I understand your feelings, I also had to learn it at school and it was the worst class for me. But let me tell you, once your reach a high enough level to recognise eloquence, you would enjoy hearing arabic poems.
Since this video has clips from Maha's channel, I just want to say I recommend her channel also for people who want some Arabic explained in English. I watch with a pen and paper to jot things dots. She explains very well and does a lot to keep you from getting overly intimidated by things like the grammar!
Although you are a language-learning coach (and created the StoryLearning series of language learning books), you give away a TON of information on CZcams. So much accurate content, such interesting videos, and all for free! Thank you.
This was hilariously entertaining and simultaneously informative! As a colloquial Arabic speaker it is frustrating to learn MSA due to being raised in the West.
Hi Olly :) I would love to listen to your conversation with Bartek Czekała - probably the only one polyglot who is not interested in languages themselves. And he is raising his child bilingually, talking to him in English, being non-native, that is buffling.
As an Arab, I would definitely agree that you should learn a bit of MSA first, but I think the levantine (Syrian/Palestinian/Jordanian) dialect is a better option than the Egyptian, seeing as it is the closest dialect to MSA, and understood nearly as widely as Egyptian.
The issue of whether Arabic is one language or many languages is politically charged, in the same way it is for the varieties of Chinese, Hindi and Urdu, Serbian and Croatian, Scots and English, etc. In contrast to speakers of Hindi and Urdu who claim they cannot understand each other even when they can, speakers of the varieties of Arabic will claim they can all understand each other even when they cannot.[68] While there is a minimum level of comprehension between all Arabic dialects, this level can increase or decrease based on geographic proximity: for example, Levantine and Gulf speakers understand each other much better than they do speakers from the Maghreb. The issue of diglossia between spoken and written language is a significant complicating factor: A single written form, significantly different from any of the spoken varieties learned natively, unites a number of sometimes divergent spoken forms. For political reasons, Arabs mostly assert that they all speak a single language, despite significant issues of mutual incomprehensibility among differing spoken versions.[69] From a linguistic standpoint, it is often said that the various spoken varieties of Arabic differ among each other collectively about as much as the Romance languages.[70] This is an apt comparison in a number of ways. The period of divergence from a single spoken form is similar-perhaps 1500 years for Arabic, 2000 years for the Romance languages. Also, while it is comprehensible to people from the Maghreb, a linguistically innovative variety such as Moroccan Arabic is essentially incomprehensible to Arabs from the Mashriq, much as French is incomprehensible to Spanish or Italian speakers but relatively easily learned by them. This suggests that the spoken varieties may linguistically be considered separate languages.
It really is a classical Latin versus all the varieties of vulgar Latin spread out across different religions situation again. All varieties recognise MSA as their origin but they're all diverging in different directions with time
Frankly, I do not know whether you have knowledge of Arabic or not. But as a high school Arabi student, And I have an Akkadian dictionary, 95% of its words are understandable to us as Arabs. It is one of the most ancient Arabic dialects that is approximately 6,000 years old. Never mind understanding modern and contemporary dialects. In general, dialects may differ in the way the pronunciation is used for words. Preferring to use some vocabulary and terminology, and this is very natural given the vast geography and various social factors, but they contain many common aspects and similarities between them. reading and writing Basic rules Culture and heritage
I really liked your video. As a native Arabic speaker, I can relate to the spoken vs classical Arabic or Fusha. Dialects has always been interesting to me and 95% of the time I can tell at least from what part of the Arab world the speaker is (the country at least) only by listening to their dialect. That doesn't mean I can always understand it! In Syria for example we have at least 8 very distinctive dialects. In Jordan there are at least 5. In Palestine there are 8. I personally can detect 2 accents in Lebanon but I'm sure there are more. In Egypt (yes it is the most widely understood dialect) there are 4 that I can detect. For the other Arab countries, I can usually tell the country by dialect but can't pinpoint the city or part of that particular country. The most difficult dialects to understand for me are the North African especially if spoken fast and mixed with French as often is the case. But all dialects are lovely to listen to. I tried teaching Arabic to an American friend when I was studying in the states and the most challenging was the pronunciation of the unique letters of ض ظ ع غ ح خ and the difference between ت and ط. 😊
Hey Yuri. You and me, both! You'll have to look for it under the Arabic name, but it's out of print and will be hard to find. You might be lucky, or find it in a library in one of the translated versions. It seems to have showed up under various titles.
Nice video, however, i just want to correct something, Abu-al-aswad-aduali was the first one to call for the standardization of the language because many non Arab societies were making serious mistakes that affected meaning, but the first grammar book called Al-kitab was written be a Persian scholar named Sibaweh, there is a famous story about the debate that happened between Sibaweh and another scholar named Al-kasai about grammar i recommend you look it up.
Tons ! Where do you get this information ! The influence of Persian on Arabic is almost non-existent (maybe 30 words) .. While Persian borrows 60% from Arabic
As someone who identifies to be Carthaginian, the similarities between our language (some would call it Punic) and Arabic are immense, for obvious reasons. However being from Tunisia and close to Malta, also the Maltese language sounds almost the same, friends from Malta would probably know more about the origins of their language but it wouldn’t strike me if their language was originally rooted in Carthaginian then Arabized just like the Tunisian dialect. Plus it’s a huge flex that even the ancient Arabic is not that ancient compared to our phoenician/canaanite ancestors.
19:16 If you heard how learning Qur'an/hadith through translated Qur'an/hadith is not good, this is why. Many words in arabic have specific meaning, but when translated it usually use general meaning, probably to shorten the translation
the arabs are the first "battle rappers" in history, they used to gather at a market "Souk" and diss eachother using Poems from top of their heads on the spot, some poets caused wars between tribes !
The old Arabs call non Arabs "ajam" which means "mute" , because they went beyond the peak of aloquence, until the Quran came down and broke their ego.
Major mistake at 4:09, Old South Arabian Script is far older than both phoenician and Aramaic, infact it's the only script on that list that has been conclusively proven and shown to be the oldest by Carbon Dating. The Musnad script is the oldest, and Arabic is a direct descendant, both have 28 Letters, the other dialect continuums like Aramaiac and whatever other nonsense name people like to use have only 22. In addition Arabic maps (which were the first world maps ever created) had the South as UP and North as DOWN.
A lot of people seem to conflate Arabic with like Hindi due to Islam lol when this is not the case. Smooth, spoken Arabic sounds more like a Romance language than Indo-Aryan
And the dialects sound so different from one another too. I have a brother from Lebanon so I'm used to hearing that rhythm which specific to Levantine dialects I used to think thats just how Arabic sounds until I heard a man speaking Algerian Arabic and it sounded like a different language.
Hi there 👋🤗 Dialects may differ in the manner of pronunciation and pronunciation used for words and the preference for using some vocabulary and terminology, but they contain many common aspects and similarities between them. reading and writing Basic rules Culture and heritage
@0:50 Arab does not mean nomad. It’s derived from a root which relates to the meaning of Expression and Manifestation. You might mixed Arab with A’arab who are the special Arabs living in the desert as nomads.
The story of Arab Ariba (Amalek) is mentioned only by ibn Alkalbi from Yemen in 800 AD it is his hypothesis and most of Arabic and Islamic historians disagreed with him
I'm sorry, but it sounds like you have a sound gate or compressor that's set wrong, causing the vocal audio level to pump up and down. The low volume words get lowered, followed by a sharp volume rise with the next, slightly louder spoken syllable. I'm thinking a gate, or maybe a compressor with a slow attack and some make-up gain, and a slightly quick release. I enjoy your videos, but my ultra ADHD brain gets distracted by this kind of stuff 😅
Modern linguistics does not recognize any linguistic difference between a "language" and a "dialect": the difference between them is political or ideological, not linguistic. Mutual intelligibility, for example, does not work as a criterion. Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish are mutually intelligible, but have the status of separate languages; while many "languages" have dialects which are not mutually intelligible (Arabic, Chinese, and Italian, for example).
I am an Arab from the heart of the Saudi Arabian Peninsula. If a person kills someone, he is sentenced to death. As soon as the killer recited a poem and expressed his remorse, he abandoned him and released him, because it is a magical language that captures hearts. Our honorable Prophet Muhammad said that the statement is truly magic. The eloquence and eloquence of the Arabs is strong, and that is why God chose it to be the language of the last heavenly book, which is the Qur’an, because the Qur’an was revealed to the entire world, and no language can speak it. Only the Arabic language understands God's universal message, which is powerful, charming, and rich in words and meanings.
Yeah, learning spanish is easy because I learned a bit of English and my real language is Arabic, and there’s a looot of words similar to English and pronunciation the words was easy
John William Draper in the "Intellectual Development of Europe" "I have to deplore the systematic manner in which the literature of Europe has continued to put out of sight our obligations to the Muhammadans. Surely they cannot be much longer hidden. Injustice founded on religious rancour and national conceit cannot be perpetuated forever. The Arab has left his intellectual impress on Europe. He has indelibly written it on the heavens as any one may see who reads the names of the stars on a common celestial globe."
"Medieval scholars didn't bother studying other languages and comparing Arabic to them because they thought they were inferior" That's actually not the case. Muslim scholars studied Arabic to understand the word of GOD and to comprehend his commands, and since GOD spoke to us in Arabic than it was the only language that was NECESSARY to study and nail down perfectly, as it's of utmost importance to get what GOD told us right. In contrast, studying other languages academically wasn't as useful, since you could always ask someone to clarify what they meant if the language rules are not clear enough to you. So you could see why they would prioritize Arabic, not because they thought it was superior to other languages, but because it was indispensable. Besides, many of them studied their mother tongues on an academic level as well, so not sure why you made such a claim
For those amazing people who watched this video and liked it I would like to say to you in Arabic (شُكْراً عَلَى إعْجَابِكُمْ وَ أَتَمَنَّى لَكُمْ وَقْتاً رَائِعاً، دُمْتُمْ بِوِد) press translation option to see it in your language 💙
I am a native speaker of Arabic l, I can say you presented Arabic in a good way. The highest form of Arabic is Quran and it’s the miracle given to prophet Mohammad who lived in the time Arabs spoke their highest form of language, but ironically Quran was even higher, and Quran challenged them to write one verse better, but they failed to do so… Furthermore, the short vowels identify the subjects and objects in a sentence. Another fact, in Arabic you can make a full sentence consists of a verb, object and more than one subject all combined in one word 🤪 The last one, the plural form can be used to show you respect a person.. My advice, if you want to communicate with people only learn dialects, but if you have further goals you need to consider the standard form ..
The further the Arab country is from each others the harder to understand the dialect. specifically in North Africa where the native language is mixt between Berber and Arabic. however if any Arab get exposed to any other dialect for time he will learn it fast. and one more thing, the ancient Arabic the one without any dots only Arabs today can't read it correctly and they don't even know how they can do it.
My mother used to watch alot of Morrocan shows in Iraq. I watched one episode barely understood anything, my mom on the other hand could understand 😂😂😂
Yeah but as a morrocan we can understand what other cuntries are sayin but they can't do the same for us because morrocan darija (morrocan dilect arab is soooo difficult)
Well done, and this supports the fact that it is the same language with a different pronunciation. You can imagine that I am a Levantine and, thank God, I am able to understand many Maghreb dialects. I say that the reason has to do with the skill of listening and mingling.

@@MarcusAuelius Yes, because of Islam, made it easier for people to read the Quran in Arabic. Reciting the Quran in Arabic feels different then reciting the Quran in any other language. Turkey Azerbaijan and most of the former Soviet Central Asian countries no longer use the Arabic script.
There is a great deal of confusion between Arabs and Arab Bedouins (الأعراب), and academics from the West deliberately obscure the history of the Arabs and make it only about the Arab Bedouins...but if you look at Arabic, you will find that it is rich and has high qualities...it cannot be derived from a simple language.

"There are 28 letters, they are all consonants.. where the vowels are? Well, there aren't any.. At least none that you can write" 😂😂😂 You should have led with that
nomadic Boudoin searching for their origins! WHAT?!! Arabs especially in Arabian Peninsula know their origin very well! Secondly, Arabic started from Makkah when prophet Ismael spoke it on the age of 14 years old! Most dialect close to classic Arabic is the dialects of Saudi Arabia since they are Arabs by race!
prophet Ishmael (pbuh) wasn’t the first to speak arabic, rather the first to herniat his tongue in Arabic and speak it eloquently; nonetheless, prophet hud (pbuh) spoke Arabic ≈ 6000 BC… and ya’rub ibn qathan was said to be the first who spoke Arabic ≈ 8062 BC.

It is not so hard to pick up the spoken versions if you dedicate some time to listening to media from those places, like vlogs.
Hebrew is directly related to Canaanite, interestingly.
This was a great anxiety of mine: what kind of Arabic to learn? So I am learning some MSA and I will learn other things later, I just want to get some kind of foundation.
Your Arabic book of short stories is excellent. And then it seems you set Arabic aside. I am so exited that you are launching back into Arabic….please please please go beyond intermediate.
You did a video on Latin recently
Wanna do one on Sanskrit and ancient Greek??😅
Its so intimidating and difficult in my experience because of its complexity and just being totally different from any other one I know, but I hope to learn it one day after all. Thank you for shining so much light on one of the most incredible languages full of beauty and wisdom.
I understand your feelings, I also had to learn it at school and it was the worst class for me. But let me tell you, once your reach a high enough level to recognise eloquence, you would enjoy hearing arabic poems.
That‘s what makes it great, that it’s so different ! that and the fact that the holy Qur‘an was revealed and that language.
Arabic is a language of pure beauty 😁👌💯
Excellent video
Amazing video. Greeting from Morocco ❤️🇲🇦
Is it just me or the audio is a bit delayed?
Yes.
We had some technical difficulties. All fixed now!
Your vids about Arabian language is super fun to watch, am Arabian myself and learned new things tbh 😅
Please write a Short Stories in Hebrew! I'm reading the first French one and I love it! Once I learn the abjad I'd like to pick up the Arabic one too.
Since this video has clips from Maha's channel, I just want to say I recommend her channel also for people who want some Arabic explained in English. I watch with a pen and paper to jot things dots. She explains very well and does a lot to keep you from getting overly intimidated by things like the grammar!
Cheers from Sudan
Although you are a language-learning coach (and created the StoryLearning series of language learning books), you give away a TON of information on CZcams. So much accurate content, such interesting videos, and all for free! Thank you.
This was hilariously entertaining and simultaneously informative! As a colloquial Arabic speaker it is frustrating to learn MSA due to being raised in the West.
glad you enjoyed the vid!
Nice video
Hi Olly :) I would love to listen to your conversation with Bartek Czekała - probably the only one polyglot who is not interested in languages themselves. And he is raising his child bilingually, talking to him in English, being non-native, that is buffling.
As an Arab, I would definitely agree that you should learn a bit of MSA first, but I think the levantine (Syrian/Palestinian/Jordanian) dialect is a better option than the Egyptian, seeing as it is the closest dialect to MSA, and understood nearly as widely as Egyptian.
Late, but I started my sojourn into Arabic with the goal of being able to read the Arabic classics and enhance my academic credentials.
Interesting video and arabic language
Arabic has fatḥa, Hebrew has pataḥ, and Syriac has ptaḥa. They all look different, but they all sound like /a/, and they all mean "open".
The issue of whether Arabic is one language or many languages is politically charged, in the same way it is for the varieties of Chinese, Hindi and Urdu, Serbian and Croatian, Scots and English, etc. In contrast to speakers of Hindi and Urdu who claim they cannot understand each other even when they can, speakers of the varieties of Arabic will claim they can all understand each other even when they cannot.[68] While there is a minimum level of comprehension between all Arabic dialects, this level can increase or decrease based on geographic proximity: for example, Levantine and Gulf speakers understand each other much better than they do speakers from the Maghreb. The issue of diglossia between spoken and written language is a significant complicating factor: A single written form, significantly different from any of the spoken varieties learned natively, unites a number of sometimes divergent spoken forms. For political reasons, Arabs mostly assert that they all speak a single language, despite significant issues of mutual incomprehensibility among differing spoken versions.[69]
From a linguistic standpoint, it is often said that the various spoken varieties of Arabic differ among each other collectively about as much as the Romance languages.[70] This is an apt comparison in a number of ways. The period of divergence from a single spoken form is similar-perhaps 1500 years for Arabic, 2000 years for the Romance languages. Also, while it is comprehensible to people from the Maghreb, a linguistically innovative variety such as Moroccan Arabic is essentially incomprehensible to Arabs from the Mashriq, much as French is incomprehensible to Spanish or Italian speakers but relatively easily learned by them. This suggests that the spoken varieties may linguistically be considered separate languages.
Arabic has a stranded Language
It really is a classical Latin versus all the varieties of vulgar Latin spread out across different religions situation again. All varieties recognise MSA as their origin but they're all diverging in different directions with time

Frankly, I do not know whether you have knowledge of Arabic or not.
But as a high school Arabi student, And I have an Akkadian dictionary, 95% of its words are understandable to us as Arabs.
It is one of the most ancient Arabic dialects that is approximately 6,000 years old. Never mind understanding modern and contemporary dialects.
In general, dialects may differ in the way the pronunciation is used for words. Preferring to use some vocabulary and terminology, and this is very natural given the vast geography and various social factors, but they contain many common aspects and similarities between them.

I really liked your video. As a native Arabic speaker, I can relate to the spoken vs classical Arabic or Fusha. Dialects has always been interesting to me and 95% of the time I can tell at least from what part of the Arab world the speaker is (the country at least) only by listening to their dialect. That doesn't mean I can always understand it! In Syria for example we have at least 8 very distinctive dialects. In Jordan there are at least 5. In Palestine there are 8. I personally can detect 2 accents in Lebanon but I'm sure there are more. In Egypt (yes it is the most widely understood dialect) there are 4 that I can detect. For the other Arab countries, I can usually tell the country by dialect but can't pinpoint the city or part of that particular country. The most difficult dialects to understand for me are the North African especially if spoken fast and mixed with French as often is the case. But all dialects are lovely to listen to. I tried teaching Arabic to an American friend when I was studying in the states and the most challenging was the pronunciation of the unique letters of ض ظ ع غ ح خ and the difference between ت and ط. 😊
I'm so intrigued by that book 'The Gold of Paris', I'd love to read it but I can't find it anywhere. 😥
Hey Yuri. You and me, both! You'll have to look for it under the Arabic name, but it's out of print and will be hard to find. You might be lucky, or find it in a library in one of the translated versions. It seems to have showed up under various titles.
@@lisamarydew Thank you. Yes, I noticed there were like 3 different titles.
Nice video, however, i just want to correct something, Abu-al-aswad-aduali was the first one to call for the standardization of the language because many non Arab societies were making serious mistakes that affected meaning, but the first grammar book called Al-kitab was written be a Persian scholar named Sibaweh, there is a famous story about the debate that happened between Sibaweh and another scholar named Al-kasai about grammar i recommend you look it up.
Tons ! Where do you get this information ! The influence of Persian on Arabic is almost non-existent (maybe 30 words) .. While Persian borrows 60% from Arabic
Language of incalculable importance for a large part of the world. Even in Italian we have several loanwords.
["invaluable" 🙂]
This video is very underrated
Can I expect a video about the Swahili language?
As someone who identifies to be Carthaginian, the similarities between our language (some would call it Punic) and Arabic are immense, for obvious reasons. However being from Tunisia and close to Malta, also the Maltese language sounds almost the same, friends from Malta would probably know more about the origins of their language but it wouldn’t strike me if their language was originally rooted in Carthaginian then Arabized just like the Tunisian dialect. Plus it’s a huge flex that even the ancient Arabic is not that ancient compared to our phoenician/canaanite ancestors.

Many words in arabic have specific meaning, but when translated it usually use general meaning, probably to shorten the translation

The old Arabs call non Arabs "ajam" which means "mute" , because they went beyond the peak of aloquence, until the Quran came down and broke their ego.
Major mistake at 4:09, Old South Arabian Script is far older than both phoenician and Aramaic, infact it's the only script on that list that has been conclusively proven and shown to be the oldest by Carbon Dating. The Musnad script is the oldest, and Arabic is a direct descendant, both have 28 Letters, the other dialect continuums like Aramaiac and whatever other nonsense name people like to use have only 22.
In addition Arabic maps (which were the first world maps ever created) had the South as UP and North as DOWN.
I've wanted to learn modern standard arabic for many years. I know some basic maghrebi arabic
A lot of people seem to conflate Arabic with like Hindi due to Islam lol when this is not the case. Smooth, spoken Arabic sounds more like a Romance language than Indo-Aryan

I'm sorry, but it sounds like you have a sound gate or compressor that's set wrong, causing the vocal audio level to pump up and down. The low volume words get lowered, followed by a sharp volume rise with the next, slightly louder spoken syllable.
I'm thinking a gate, or maybe a compressor with a slow attack and some make-up gain, and a slightly quick release.

Modern linguistics does not recognize any linguistic difference between a "language" and a "dialect": the difference between them is political or ideological, not linguistic. Mutual intelligibility, for example, does not work as a criterion. Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish are mutually intelligible, but have the status of separate languages; while many "languages" have dialects which are not mutually intelligible (Arabic, Chinese, and Italian, for example).
As the joke goes: What's the difference between a "language" and "dialect"? A language is a dialect with an army.
We have been misled by our dialects to the point we have to struggle learning the standard Arabic as a new language.
I am an Arab from the heart of the Saudi Arabian Peninsula. If a person kills someone, he is sentenced to death. As soon as the killer recited a poem and expressed his remorse, he abandoned him and released him, because it is a magical language that captures hearts. Our honorable Prophet Muhammad said that the statement is truly magic. The eloquence and eloquence of the Arabs is strong, and that is why God chose it to be the language of the last heavenly book, which is the Qur’an, because the Qur’an was revealed to the entire world, and no language can speak it. Only the Arabic language understands God's universal message, which is powerful, charming, and rich in words and meanings.
Yeah, learning spanish is easy because I learned a bit of English and my real language is Arabic, and there’s a looot of words similar to English and pronunciation the words was easy

Actually the word Arab mean clear and bespoken but there is another word that is close to Arab mean desert dwellers which is aarab
John William Draper in the "Intellectual Development of Europe"
"I have to deplore the systematic manner in which the literature of Europe has continued to put out of sight our obligations to the Muhammadans. Surely they cannot be much longer hidden. Injustice founded on religious rancour and national conceit cannot be perpetuated forever. The Arab has left his intellectual impress on Europe. He has indelibly written it on the heavens as any one may see who reads the names of the stars on a common celestial globe."
Maltese is surprisingly mutually intelligible to Arabic
The meanings of those many names of the lion are rarely known by Arabic speakers. We don't use them in our daily life, except in given names!
"Medieval scholars didn't bother studying other languages and comparing Arabic to them because they thought they were inferior"
That's actually not the case.
Muslim scholars studied Arabic to understand the word of GOD and to comprehend his commands, and since GOD spoke to us in Arabic than it was the only language that was NECESSARY to study and nail down perfectly, as it's of utmost importance to get what GOD told us right.
In contrast, studying other languages academically wasn't as useful, since you could always ask someone to clarify what they meant if the language rules are not clear enough to you. So you could see why they would prioritize Arabic, not because they thought it was superior to other languages, but because it was indispensable. Besides, many of them studied their mother tongues on an academic level as well, so not sure why you made such a claim
For those amazing people who watched this video and liked it I would like to say to you in Arabic (شُكْراً عَلَى إعْجَابِكُمْ وَ أَتَمَنَّى لَكُمْ وَقْتاً رَائِعاً، دُمْتُمْ بِوِد) press translation option to see it in your language 💙
Can you make a vedio on Bengali language??
thanks for the idea!
@@storylearning Please make the next vedio on it
I can help you in making the vedio because I am a native Bengali speaker
I am a native speaker of Arabic l, I can say you presented Arabic in a good way.
The highest form of Arabic is Quran and it’s the miracle given to prophet Mohammad who lived in the time Arabs spoke their highest form of language, but ironically Quran was even higher, and Quran challenged them to write one verse better, but they failed to do so…
Furthermore, the short vowels identify the subjects and objects in a sentence.
Another fact, in Arabic you can make a full sentence consists of a verb, object and more than one subject all combined in one word 🤪
The last one, the plural form can be used to show you respect a person..
My advice, if you want to communicate with people only learn dialects, but if you have further goals you need to consider the standard form ..
The further the Arab country is from each others the harder to understand the dialect.
specifically in North Africa where the native language is mixt between Berber and Arabic.
however if any Arab get exposed to any other dialect for time he will learn it fast.
and one more thing, the ancient Arabic the one without any dots only Arabs today can't read it correctly and they don't even know how they can do it.

Well done, and this supports the fact that it is the same language with a different pronunciation. You can imagine that I am a Levantine and, thank God, I am able to understand many Maghreb dialects. I say that the reason has to do with the skill of listening and mingling.

There is a great deal of confusion between Arabs and Arab Bedouins (الأعراب), and academics from the West deliberately obscure the history of the Arabs and make it only about the Arab Bedouins...but if you look at Arabic, you will find that it is rich and has high qualities...it cannot be derived from a simple language.
Hmm sorry also Irish with the Anglo Norman becoming Anglo Irish more irish than the Irish themselves.. NOT IN ANY WAY detracting from the WONDERFUL Arabian language.. its awesome but sorry got to shout out on from both the Irish and British Isles. ... Scots Gaelic and Welsh is also cool we really didnt have a "Dark language " either.. .but I hear you Oily well done well said .. from the 3rd and later century with the fall of the Western Empire Ireland was the only place in the known world to get Education outside of the Eastern Empire.. Ireland was known as the "land of saints and scholars." Go google check etc. .. Arabric is on my list ... well done this video
AND PS .. Ancient Irish had dots also on letters like Arabic .. it still exists for example in signs in Dingle Town in Ireland which pre dates modern Irish ... just a nod :)

nomadic Boudoin searching for their origins! WHAT?!! Arabs especially in Arabian Peninsula know their origin very well! Secondly, Arabic started from Makkah when prophet Ismael spoke it on the age of 14 years old! Most dialect close to classic Arabic is the dialects of Saudi Arabia since they are Arabs by race!
prophet Ishmael (pbuh) wasn’t the first to speak arabic, rather the first to herniat his tongue in Arabic and speak it eloquently; nonetheless, prophet hud (pbuh) spoke Arabic ≈ 6000 BC… and ya’rub ibn qathan was said to be the first who spoke Arabic ≈ 8062 BC.
