Middle East Explained - The Religions, Languages, and Ethnic Groups
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มี.ค. 2017
- The Middle East is at the center of everything, and is home to many ethnic groups which don't always get along.
The middle east is usually associated with muslims and arabs, but muslim arabs are only a part of the middle east. The middle east is also home to Turks, Persians, Kurds, Jews, Assyrians and many others.
Most of the countries of the middle east are muslim, but Israel is jewish, and Lebanon has a large christian minority. But islam is dividing into two main groups, the sunnis and the shias.
Shia muslims mostly live in Iran, southern Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, Bahrain, and Northern Yemen, while Sunni muslims are the most common muslims worldwide.
Iran and Saudi Arabia take advantage of the sunni-shia devide to claim spheres of influence in the middle east, and many conflicts split down sunni-shias lines, such as the Yemeni Civil War and the Iraqi Civil War and the Syrian Civil War
Not all muslims are arab though. Turkey and Iran are definitely not Arab and speak Turkish and Persian respectively. Most arabic speakers are arab, though many non-arabs who live near arabs speak arabic for convenience such as the Coptic Christians of Egypt and Maronite Christians of Lebanon, and the Alawites of Syria.
The President of Syria is a Shia Alawite even though the majority Syria is Sunni Arab, this contributes to tensions in the ongoing Syrian Civil War.
One sunni group fighting in the Syrian Civil War called Daesh or ISIS or ISIL decided to invade neighbouring Iraq and started the Iraqi Civil War and fought against the Shia Arabs, and the Kurds in iraqi Kurdistan.

He was Muslim. In that sense that Muslim simply means someone that submits himself to almighty God.

@Mohammad Ibrahim he's not a prophet he never called himself a prophet Muhammed did

Guys the narrator was quite apologetic, he clearly expressed that this a complex topic and that most of these countries deserve their own videos. Of course, there are lots of generalizations and some assumptions to fit this all in a 10 minute video. Also, so what that he can't pronounce Arabic properly? At least he is trying and he is clearly showing interest in learning about the region and its culture. Thanks for a great video.
Spread peace and acceptance, not ignorance

I have been to Syria 🇸🇾, Lebanon 🇱🇧, Turkey 🇹🇷, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, and the UAE 🇦🇪. And I have personally always my visit to these countries visiting family and friends over the years. The media gives the Middle East a bad reputation.

5:01, oh I wouldn't say that. I'd say most Arabic speakers in the area defined as "Middle East" in this video understand each other very well. An Egyptian can understand a Saudi very well, a Saudi can understand an Iraqi very well, an Omani can understand a Qatari very well. The main problem with dialects comes with Northwest African Arabic dialects. Most Tunisians, Algerians and Moroccans understand each other and other Arabic dialects pretty well, but everyone else fails to understand them. However even this isn't much of a problem, because Arabic speakers can just switch to Modern Standard Arabic pretty easily if they don't understand each other. I don't think this is much of an issue, more of a joke to us Arabs.
True, I agree with the Middle East fact that most understand each other. However, that is only seen in older generations or people who have been introduced to a lot of Arabic media. In the younger generations, you may unfortunately find the lack of exposure to certain Arabic dialects like Egyptian, which makes people from the countries in the Arabian peninsula not understand what Egyptians say fully. Though, I would like to stress it’s all about exposure; I find that the Arabian peninsula’s Arabic dialects are very closely related, while the Egyptian dialect might be different by some means, but if one is exposed to Egyptian Arabic through communication or consumption of media I guess it won’t be a big problem.
@MasterManiacX we were able to easily communicate before any form of media ever existed I think people stopping the consumption of them won't make a big deal and as the commenter said if you don't get the dialect very well you could just switch to fusha arabic mid convo

These videos are awesome, I'm so glad I stumbled upon this channel! I appreciate the time you take to highlight label and circle the maps to direct my attention. I'm also glad you put a summary in the description. It helps me follow along better. I would like to suggest that when you zoom in on a smaller area you show a transition of zooming to that area or maybe highlight the area on the larger map before you zoom into the smaller map. Personally this would help me orient myself quicker within your zoomed in map. But don't feel the need to do that, your videos are great without it and you do a great job. I will continue to watch your channel gleefully!

Good job you really covered everything 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good information.
Only thing you got wrong is that thr difference between Arabic dialects is like the difference between American, British, and Australian accents. We speak together pretty good (I've lived in several Arab countries). I speak with a Sudanese accent and chat all the time with my Lebanese, Saudi Arabian and egyptian friends. (Moroccans speak a bit too fast btw, sorry Moroccans)
American, Australian and British are accents not dialects and they are all 100% mutually intelligible
Arabic however has dialects and the dialects themselves have their own accents too
For example Iraqi Arabic has Southern Iraqi, Baghdadi, Western Iraqi, and Maslawi (Mosuli) and the difference between them is just like American, British and Australian
Also in my opinion I consider the Maghreb Region to be speaking it's own language rather than dialect of Arabic because it's just nowhere close to Modern Standard Arabic or any other Middle Eastern Arabic dialect
So you can just refer to their language as Maghrebi with it's dialects being Libyan, Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian etc

Uh-ray-biq? More like Are-ah-beek. That's how their dialects sound which I admire of any person's language. Learning the linguistic similarities of ancient Phonecician which became Hebrew and how Arabic came to be related to both Aramaic and Hebrew. What a blessed and ineffably contemplative relationship between these linguistic families. I'm no philologist, as I'm more of an etymologist at the moment. But I would live to learn more. I can write pretty basic things in Hebrew, but Aramaic & Arabic are a wonderful enigma. I hope to draw some of the Holy Sites of the Holy Land for people if all faiths.
More like Ara-ah-bik
I'm from the Levant, so here's how it works; Levantine Arabic is heavily influenced by the Canaanite languages and Western Aramaic langauges
For more info go here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Arabic
@@omaralfar1666 Yeah pretty much all the dialects of Arab countries that weren't arab before are influenced by their original languages. For example Egyptian Arabic's grammer and vocabulary is influenced by Coptic, and Maghrebi dialects are influenced by Berber and so on. I'm from Egypt btw lol

It’s just a word ... the information he is giving is what matters and not how he pronounced it. The thing about languages is that they keep evolving and changing all the time. Old English, Latin, Roman .... all of them mixed and changed words and sounds ... the more people start saying something differently the more it becomes an integral part of the language.
finally,someone with common sense
middle east is the center of world. unfortunately region is so complicated. ottomans managed this territory quite good for centuries but western countries confused these people's mind.
Pampos Pampou Very mature comment. Definitely proves your point.
I don't think it is the West's fault. I think it Middle East's fault because they cannot decide if they want dictatorships, democracy, or Islamic political systems. Some want to go towards democracy, some want to go towards Islamic political systems, some want dictatorships, and in effect because of all these big conflicting views opressive governing systems seem to have worked more effectively up to now.
Also people in the middle east seem to have little respect for central governments and not sufficient respect different views and groups within their countries. They want to impose their thinking on the different groups within, which is closer to a dictatorial way of thinking than to a democratic one.
On the other hand, the West maybe has not researched the area and the culture enough and perhaps does not show the patience that it needs to show and makes actions that destabilize things further instead of stabilising things.
Athenians? So the military junta which illegaly threw the Greek government were "Athenians"? It was just, by 1974, 2 stupid collonels. Do not generalize by "Athenians".
Actually, I have some reasons to believe that it was the US partly behind the whole thing. Makarios was considered pro-communist or pro-Russian so that was something that the US really didn't like. On the contrary, Turkey was a more trusted NATO member for the US back then. And also, if you are outside and something is important to you (you have bases to control the opposite coast of the Middle East), you control this area better by dividing it, because you can manipulate the 2 sides. (If you don't do this or tha , I will help or go with the other side and vice versa). I would call it "divide and manage". Now, the US has reasons to want to help unite it again maybe.
Fuck you flat earther, there’s no such thing as center of the world

Thanks
You´re evolving a lot, now you speak really slowly compared to your old videos where you were rapping like Eminem xD
Thanks!
you´re welcome, keep with your great videos! ;)
@5:40 there you go, you can pronounce it correctly.
Also arabic formal dialect is Alfoss-ha and it is basically old arabic that were used in quran and were the language arabs used on daily basis in some parts, but language evolve and this classic arabic is still as it is because its used to kn formal conversation ,just like when you write formal email u dont used your street language !
You are great
Thanks so much for this! I'm in the process of applying to grad school for anthro, and this is really helpful for looking at origins of civilization (my interest). Do you have your maps up anywhere? The ethnic map at the beginning is especially useful. (I realize I could screencap, but I'd rather have your permission and curation.)
Here I posted it to twitter

Don't use they as a source though. I would consider them a tertiary source so not good for academic papers.
thanks so much. I understand, I won't use it as a source. But you've been really helpful as a sort of sparknotes source getting me up to speed on research that's come out since I left school. Thanks!
Turkey is not in a region or across the continent. because it is an important bridge that links the different regions. (..asia,europe,middle east,arabia,caucasia and more...)
A fact: All arabs with such different dialects would use your arabic dialect to communicate with you. Most arabs understand loads of dialects even if they never use it daily. It's rare but possible for someone to not know your dialect and then you're gonna be forced to use fusha arabic lol xd
I can speak Emirati local dialect, but it’s so hectic to speak fusha!
@@RmationYT It's not that it's hard it's the fact that we're too used to dialects so we naturally just switch to them without noticing. That's the annoying part but it's not like I need to speak fusha anyway so I never do.
@@gapedandamazed6988 well guess what, school teach fusha sooooo :/
I’m surprised you know about kurdistan, great job on the video👍🏽
