I enrolled in this course, and Wallahi this is a benefit for those who really want it, if you put in the time and effort you will do good and pick up arabic, it's also at your own pace as well!
Let me know when you have similar course on Sharhu'Al-Quran in Arabic inshaa'Allah..
Al-Quran Sharh/Tafseer in Arabic inshaa'Allah. If we are to learn Arabic, it makes most sense to obtain it for Allah alone
Yes I well Shayik... Alhumdulliha
I’m so excited about possible becoming a student. Insha’Allaah.
I’m a Puerto Rican/German revert and I am looking forward to learning Arabic in sha Allah
May Allah make it easy for you.
May Allah bless you brother.
Jetzt sagst du Alhamdulillah
As an Arab person, I think it is better for anyone who wants to learn Arabic to learn Standard Arabic and then learn the Yemeni or Saudi dialect because they are clear.❤
I love Yemeni people but there is nothing clear about their dialect
Yes Saudi maybe.
I think you are Yemeni, aren’t you?
As an Moroccan, i think syrian and Egyptian they are simple and perfect for all beginners and every arabic can understand it
He cropped our map what are you talking about ?
Thats what i came to say wtf no one talks about it while there are so many comments as a morrocan as a morrocan wtf
First you need to Adjust the f.'*:*"g Moroccan map.
Non sense girl are u blind u most report this video Morocco is from Tanga to AlGwira
I agree and oldest ones kinda I'm thinking something in between them
Thank you very much for this video, I can see the light in your eyes while you are teaching. That's very rare 💯 thank you very much and stay blessed 🙏🏾
The Algerian guy is clearly from the capital,we have different dialects even in one country,nice video :)
Doesn't that for for every country though?
@@yosifammar yes exactly :)
I’m from Algeria and I don’t speak Arabic
@@kangata We speak the same exact language all across the country in Poland. Almost 40 million people.
@@yosifammar not all of them
I believe that the Egyptian dialect is the most popular dialect in the Middle East since that there are a lot of Egyptian TV shows, MOVIES, and music that are widely spread across the Middle East. This in return makes most of the Middle East understand the Egyptian dialect.
Syrian dialect also they were a lot of Syrian drama
@@suleyman8696 sure but it’s not as popular as the Egyptian
@@-mada1000 Most of the time its truth But idk if you remember between 2005-2011 Syrian series were more popular than egyptian ones
So Egypt is what México is to Latinos
@@LaHyuuga And exept these last decades, Levant ( 🇸🇾🇵🇸🇮🇶🇯🇴🇱🇧) is like Spain and Argentina of hispanic world
Grateful for you sharing the Arabic. I'm first generation in America. My parents came over from Jordan. I can understand the language better than I can speak it. If the Lord wills, I will learn the proper Arabic so I can communicate with Arabic speakers, as well as fellow Arabs, and share my faith. I thank God and appreciate you helping me to understand that is the way to God.
You did the Algerian/Moroccan tone so well 😂❤️
“Arabic dialects”. Really good video. May Allah make it easy for all those who want to learn classical Arabic🤲🏼 Ameen
Ameen and the same for you too Ameen
Ameen🤲🏻
Ameen. It's my dream to be able to learn classical Arabic and feel the impact of Quran.
I wanna learn Arabic to read Quran 😀
🤲🏽 Aameen 🤍
I am Iranian and here in Iran, we study classical Arabic at school. The Libyan dialect was the easiest to understand for me.
I see brothers in Iranians, sad how politics keeps us apart
libyan dialect is so underrated, good choice👏👏
I don't even know any Arabic, I still found Libyan the most pleasant/approachable.
Libyan is really an Eastern Arabic dialect in that it’s easy to inderstand as they talk moderately with no excessive speed or weird words like Algerians and Moroccans and somewhat Tunisians.
In Iran the native Arabic is closest to Iraqi Arabic. Long live Iranian Arabs !
We don't say ''Petit Déjeuner'' in Algeria, we say Ftour or Ftour Sbah for breakfast. It's true we use French in our daily conversations, which gets mixed with our dialect. We also say Couzina for the kitchen. No one I know says Matbakh.
I am from india I study in islamic school ... in islamic school we say matbakh but we speak urdu language.
A very good video at last......I have been searching to learn Arabic......will start immediately.....will keep you updated on the progress.......thanks for making this....
I am from Turkey, and because of the religion of Islam and Arabic words in my Turkish language, I understood some of the words those guys were saying. The Arabic I heard on your video from Syrian Lebanese, Palestinian and Iraqi Arabic was more apparent to my ears.
Thanks for putting up this video.

As a Moroccan I admit that our dialect is the hardest one from the point of view of the classical Arabic, but,I am raised in Spain and didn't really grow in an Arabic country and a still be able to understand and speak the classical Arabic and I understand pretty well all the Arabic dialects, sometimes I struggle with the UAE and Qatari dialects because they say some strange words that I don't know what they mean,also Iraqis say some Kurdish and Persian words that disturb my understanding but nothing that could avoid a deep conversation (I think that what make the Magrebi dialect difficult is apart of our accent,the amount of Berber, French,and Spanish words that we often use when we speak)
Great video 👍!
Makes sense baaraka Allah fik
I think another important thing to know about moroccan arabic is the low amount of use outside of morocco. as a syrian, i cannot understand egyptian much but i am learning it and that is because i grew up watching syrian shows rather than egyptian, i believe that if moroccan arabic had more light in media then it would be easily understood as us levant arabs are also notorious for having french and english thrown in our language.
@@hel2321 true
@@hel2321 The grammar and a sizeable portion of the vocabulary comes from Amazigh. Add to that loanwords from French and Spanish and it becomes near impossible for a non-Maghrebi to understand it. Watching a couple Moroccan movies won't help, you need to practice. It is as if you are learning a new language.
@@amined.9430 I would have to disagree, since that comment, I took it upon me to learn the Arabic of Masr and Arabic of the Maghreb, finding that while Maghrebi arabic poses a difficulty, upon learning it, it became easier and I could see a correlation between our dialects.
You're doing such a great job by promoting Arabic... From a non-Arab viewer who loves Arabic!
I feel that the Yemeni dialect is the cleanest and clearest among the others. Thanks for this great video.
Facts
I am from Sudan and honestly speaking, most of the time when we speak with someone who isn't from Sudan, we just "tone down" our accent😂
Our accent is much more varied from place to place, and if you, for instance, read any Sudanese novel, hear Sudanese music or just observe a simple interaction between 2 Sudanese people, it is much, much more difficult.
Thank you for your efforts
ربنا يوفقك.
I am Sudanese 🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇩🇸🇩 and whenever I speak with other arabs I just change my words and tone of voice.
what dialect does sudan use?
i want to learn sudan dialect
@@yassamineelrashid5808 we got our own unique dialect . and i guess the most understandable one is the one that spoken in Khartoum
@Asia Jones of course as we consider our selves Afro-Arabs , we have some words that merged from ancient Nubia
The differences here are not purely due to the differing dialects/accents, but also the choice of words commonly used in each region. Most (maybe all) terms used in the video are derived from fusha Arabic and can be found in an Arabic dictionary. For example, to say "woke up", some Arabs would say "صحيت" which stems from the Arabic word "الصحوة", others would use "فقت" which stems from the Arabic word "الافاقة", and some would use "قمت" which stems from the Arabic word "قام". There are also many different word choices/expressions for saying "today", "ate breakfast", "family", etc. that are all correct and stem from fusha words. This is similar to many cases in English like saying pants vs saying trousers, crisps vs chips, french fries vs chips, cookie vs biscuit, aubergine vs eggplant, and the list goes on and on.
The differences in dialects and accents come into play when pronouncing certain sounds in these words. For example, as Muhammad pointed out in the video, Egyptians would pronounce the ج like the English G sound. Interestingly though, people from the Arabian peninsula (gulf) pronounce the ق like the English G sound. In other words, an Egyptian pronounces the ج exactly like a person from the gulf countries pronounces the ق, both of which are incorrect from a standard fusha Arabic POV. Another example is that Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, and Palestinians/Jordanians sometimes pronounce the ق like a ء. The dialect/accent also impacts the tone fluctuations, clarity, rhythm and pace, all of which, when combined with the different word choices, can make the same sentence sound very different coming from different Arabs. Pretty interesting right?
your comment is true... mostly, but many dialects use foreign words, like many people in north Africa in this video used the word (kojina) to describe a kitchen, which is derived from French (Cuisine) and Spanish (Cocina), and is not related to the Arabic word for it (MaT-bakh مطبخ).
and yes, the European colonialism in these areas does affect their dialect, but the Turks (Ottoman Empire) and Kurds ruled most of the rest of the Arab world for too long...
The Algerian guy also said نضت which means get up and is also used in Morocco, it comes from نهض
@@belalabusultan5911 hey I thought it was maq tab or that's durus
@@dinozaurpickupline4221
Maktab = office
Maq tab.... I assume you use the letter (Q) to replace the sound (ق)... in which case, I don't know this word....
Durus= lessons, but due to the way you chose the letters, it could be a compeletely different word....
please be sure of the origin of the words you use, the words you chose could be from a unique dialect, or a compleletely different languge that uses the Arabic script but is not Arabic, like Persian, Urdu, Kurdish etc....
@@belalabusultan5911 sir if you can point me to the books & materials to learn Palestinian arabic,or Egyptian I would be very grateful,thankful for your explanations,
I think maqtab is office
Arabic Dialects. You deserve many more subs bro. Alhamdulilah I am learning Masri and Fusha same time 💪🏽
Very helpful for me in deciding on how to proceed with expanding my learning of Arabic.
This is an excellent video and much needed! Jazak Allahu kharain for posting it and allowing us to benefit from your knowledge.
I am creating Arabic content for beginners. Your suggestions and advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot
Having watched the Arabic Dialect, am highly movtivated in learning the classic Arabic language. I must confess Brother Muhammed you are a great teacher and l believe with your series a seriously minded fellow will not only learn Arabic but will be fluent. Insha Allah. May Allah swt reward you Aamin
Assalamu alycum hermano! Yo tambiem soy andalusi y estoy intentando aprender arabe. Tu video es justo lo que necesito. May Allah SWA reward you.
I’m learning Syrian Levantine, to me it sounds soft and smooth, as you said “sweeter”. I do find Iraqi and Saudi’s pronunciation the most intriguing! Almost the stereotypical Arabic :D
lol
Even though I speak Tunisian Arabic, Syrian dialect has always been my absolute favorite, too
Basically what you mean by sweeter is deleting the qaf sound and using a fronted vowel for 'a' sounds
Egyptian learning
yeah I think syrian is the smoothest, I love to hear it
You have to take in mind that the dialect of a certain country mostly change according to the city, for example I'm Egyptian, Cairo is different from Upper Egypt and Delta, each region has an accent and may the whole dialect change sometimes. Also in Saudi Arabia Mekkah differs from Reyadh, Jeddah and Madina, but still all are understandable for most Arab natives.
My parents (Americans) studied Fous-ha and thought they would be able to get around Saudi well enough when we moved there. Everyone just laughed 😬😂. Masha'Allah, they tried.
LOL
Where are they from?
EOLOLo EA Tasneem Favors
learning a dialect is far easier than learning whole new language, if they spoke classical Arabic, then they should pick any accent in a month or two.
I know many people from my city (Gaza - Palestine) who went to Algeria and Morocco for work or study, they told me they picked the dialect in 1 - 2 months, keep in mind it is the hardest dialect for us to understand.....
so I guess your family can pick the dialect just by going to the market, walking around and hearing people talk, chatting with co workers and neighbours etc...
But why did they laugh? All their news and books are in Fusha, they know Fusha perfectly, why don’t they speak it with foreigners who try to communicate?
I'm a Brazilian and love your videos man keep going
I was born in Brazil and I like Arab countries so I learned Classical Arabic for around 4 years and now I am learning Egyptian, Levantine and Gulf Arabic
thats amazing i too wanna learn arabic!
Arabic Dialects 👍
Best video ever!
maa sha’a Allah, so interesting and entertaining.
Really appreciate the breakdown and analysis between the dialects and accents
Bravo!
Alhumdulliha thank you so much I have never heard anybody break down dialects like this very good thank you so much it will help me to decide on your course I know I think you understand the issues and concerns I have thank you so much بارك الله فيك
Greeting from Yemen bro. Nice Video..you killed it in Yemeni dialect😂😂
My family is from Algeria, from Algiers and Medea. They have different accents, even the vocabulary is different. In Medea it is more clear, very easy to understand.
I love this video. I am learning arabic being a german native speaker, inspired by all the sweet people of differing arabic backgrounds that I consider my friends. I think of syrians to be very sweet hearted, so hearing you say they speak sweetly made me smile.
The oo/ee/aa (algerian/Yemeni/Saudi) was on point ...totally get what you're trying to say 😂.
I have so many Yemeni friends and I can tell you your analysis is so accurate. I have the same experience lol. Masha Allah, this was hilarious though.
This was fun, shukran! I teach Levantine/Shami along with the fundamentals of MSA, an intro course which students can then continue either or both (or branch off to another dialect). Many in the comments are asking which dialect to study...you really just need to choose one, and that would depend on your personal goals/interests. That said, Egyptian and Levantine are considered the most widely understood, in part due to these regions having a long history of producing films and other media. I look forward to watching more of your content...مع السلامة
MashaAllah, when I took Arabic in University, my professor was from Jordan and taught us Shami as well as fusha. Beautiful dialect

Arabic Dialects
I enjoyed this video. I've been in Bahrain for about 14 years and learned to speak Bahraini Arabic. Even though Bahrain is small, there are different accents/Dialects here. If you ever go to Bahrain, you should do a video showing people from different areas and highlight their different accents.
It is important to understand that within each country there are usually several dialects, which can differ a lot. But I would say that the Saudi Najdi dialect is the closest to classical Arabic and so is the Najdi dialect spoken in Jordan. The actual Omani dialect is also very close to classical Arabic, but not the dialects spoken in the far North of Oman or the Southern dialects of Oman.
You can't get a full understanding of how close a dialect is to classical Arabic from a few sentences, you have to have good knowledge of each respective dialect. The North African dialects are not that close to classical Arabic, neither are the sham dialects, or the Iraqi dialects or the Khaleeji dialects. All these dialects have had strong influences from other languages over the centuries. It also makes sense that Najdi Arabic and perhaps the Omani dialect are closest to classical Arabic, as they indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula and they haven't had too many outside influences. For example, Najdi Arabic which is predominantly spoken in central Saudi Arabia, is much more closer to classical Arabic than Hijazi Arabic(spoken in Western Saudi) or Khaleeji Arabic(Spoken in Eastern Saudi Arabia).
Maybe you should do some videos explaining it and giving some example
I do agree with you that Dialects in Saudi are the closest to classic Arabic, however, you have chosen the dialect that is most off Classic Arabic (Najdi) it's not true that the Najdi dialect hasn't had outside influences, in fact, Najd is the most influenced region of Arabian Peninsula by an outsider and this becuse of many historical factors. the least influenced region of the Arabian Peninsula by outsiders is the southern region. therefore Dialects in southern Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Oman are the closets to classic Arabic.
على كيفيك اهل نجد اوضح لهجه في السعودية !؟
I disagree , the closest to fusha Arabic is the south of Saudi and Yemen
I believe this applies to you too, you don't know real Sudanese dialects by your own principles( saying this man should see the dialect from close, so he could judge).
The best video ever for Arabic language!

Arabic is such an incredible broad language. I am Arabic, I speak English and French to the backbone. I still learn from Arabic
Thanks for bringing awareness to the various Arabic dialects.
I lived in Sudan many years ago, and met many Americans there studying Arabic, and when I asked why they studied in Khartoum and not in Saudi they said that Sudanese Arabic was closest to the Fusha or Classic Arabic.
Yeah that's right, i guess because originally the Arabic language entered with Islam to sudan, people learned it and use it until it became the basic language for the general public.
Arabic dialects. Thanks for the video. It was really good. I started learning MSA but I saw a lot of videos saying that I should learn a dialect and I was confused this video helped me a lot. I speak Spanish too. I really appreciate your video. You have a new subscriber. Thanks.

This was super informative and helpful! Glad the TH-cam algorithm suggested it.
I thought it might be is helpful to explain to your viewers why Somalia is on the map even though it’s not an Arab or Arabic speaking country. Somalia is part of the Arab league and it’s the only non-Arabic speaking African country in the league which can be confusing for folks but for some reason Somalia joined the league for political reasons.
When you get deeper in the "classico" arabic, the words you find strange now will make more sense.
For example "تريقت" is driven from "ريق" which is saliva, and the relation to breakfast, the word "نضت" is driven from "نهضت" which is the past form of rising, the Egyptian "ج" is used only in North of Egypt but also used in parts of Yemen and Oman.
You can almost find a "Classico" root to 90% of dialects.
I'd do not claim to be an expert, but I gave some time to think about where those words may be driven from.
I'm Egyptian from Alexandria by the way.
Simply all of Arabic dialects are beautiful..but i like the Moroccan Iraqi and Syrian the most..btw i loved the video,beautifly put together and fun to watch..i enjoyed it ❤
I have BA in Arabic. I say learn classical and then choose a dialect. Learn MSA Arabic in a more passive manner but perhaps after 6 months you can start a dialect a dialect because this is what people speak on a daily basis. Keep in mind that Arabic speakers learn the dialect FIRST as kids. For folks like me who didn't have that luxury of growing in up in an Arabic speaking house hold, the truth is that when you study Arabic its like you''re studying a language and a half. I did 3 years of classical Arabic at university in Spain. Then I did a summer course in Amman after my 3rd year. I found a book on the Shami dialect before I went to Amman and when I got to Amman it made it so much easier to communicate with the people. I also lived in Morocco. If you go to Morocco and say...............أنا أريد أن أذهب إلى بنك you sound crazy! Nobody speaks that way at all!بغيت نمشي لبنك is much better!
Man hats off. Learning Arabic for a non native Arabic speaker is extermely tough. Hell even me find it difficult to speak fusha. If you wanna learn Tunisian dialect I will be more than happy to get in contact with you and teach you for free.
Thankk you! @@waelmkaouar396
it doesnt sound crazy, but maybe strange for people who their language has a lot of deviations
No, they don't find you crazy. Actually they admire you.
I am from Yemen, when I go to Morocco I use MSA, proudly.
@@Sa-5120 of course🌹, but there are some stupid people who think that if they used Fusha they will sound silly or sth like this, but they use french proudly 🤡🤡🤡
He is right about the Saudi accent, but najdis talk like this. He should feature najd, hijaz and eastern dialects.

habibi baaraka Allah fik may Allah accept
I’m glad you mentioned that cuz I remember speaking to my Egyptian friend n he says the Egyptian is the best dialect n all the starts come out of Egypt but my Sudanese friend a long time again said the Sudanese is the best and most understood ..

I'm a beginning in terms of learning Arabic. The best way I'm learning the language is by using children's books with audio,and this method suites me well.
We have soo many dialect in egypt more than 5 as far as i know but i agree with you that clasic arabic is the best way to start
Great job. Would see after 15 months inshaAllah
I could simplify it a bit ....
1- the countries to the west of the Arabic world (Algeria - Tunisia - Morocco) can be grouped in the (Maghrebi Dialect) or (Darja), it's the hardest language for other Arabs to understand, because it has plenty of French and Berber laon words, but they also are the best at understanding other dialects.
2- Mauritania speaks it's own dialect called (Hassayneya), which is surprisingly easy to understandm even tho its country is the furthest from the origin of the language (Arabian peninsuela).
3- the rest of the dialects are grouped into (Mashreqi -meaning eastern-) but they differ rom place to place.......
4- Egypt and Yemen change the (J) to a (G) sound, like in the word (Girl), so a (Jar) would become (Gar), Egyptian is the most understood in the Arab world because their cinema and music industry is popular in the Arab world.
5- Saudi - Omani - Qatar - UAQ - Bahrain - and Kuwait are in the (Khaleej -eaning Gulf-) dialect, they change the Arabic ق sound to (G), but some areas speak it as in standard Arabic.
6- Palestine - Syria - Lebanon - and Jordan are in the Levant (Shami) dialect, they change the ق sound to (A), tho in the rural areas and in the south there are variations, the letter could change to G, Ch, or K, this dialect is the 2nd most well understood because of Syrian TV shows and Lebanese music industry, also Palestinians refugees moved to all the Arab countries there is.
7- Iraq is a unique case, their south sounds like the Gulf dialect, their west sounds like the rural Levant dialect, their north is influenced by the various linguistic groups there (Kurds - Chaldonian - Turkish etc...), and their east is influenced by Persian, also, they are the 2nd least understood among the Arab dialects, mostly people who speak Darja call it the hardest dialect.
--------------------------------------
advice: learn standard Arabic, you can get along with all formal and legal stuff that way, and then learn the dialect of the country you'd like to visit so you sound like the locals .... if you are not planning to visit an Arab country but do want to speak the slang, then there is a dialect called (White Dialect) which is basically a comination of all Arab dialects into one simplified dialect, it uses the easiest parts to understand of all dialects and mix in some standard Arabic ..... the closest dialect to the white dialect is (Hejazi Arabic) which is a sub-dialect spoken in Saudi Arabia, but they also have some unique words and phrases so it's not pure white accent.

I am Egyptian and I am so happy with the Egyptian part in the video it's so funny 😂 also great job that you used an Egyptian comic as Egyptians do ALL OF THE TIME 😂 Actually I am commenting to defend our dialect & would say it's the nearest to the classical Arabic but nowadays it's so depreciating and people are using more and more English to be more classy & so on😅. I love the classical Arabic & the old Egyptian dialect and I am so scared now it could disappear 😢
Soo true 😂😂 agree with all you said specially the sudan 🇸🇩
I like this video very much. I am Egyptian and always tell non-arab speakers that we all speak one language. this video confirmed my belief. I can also recognize where the differences in certain words come from (in most of the cases)

جزاك الله خيراً علي كل ما تفعله
Being from Egypt it’s amazing to have heard all of the Arabic dialects and how each is different with each background from colonizers to proximity to the Arab peninsula. I would have to agree that the closest to to MSA is the Sudanese dialect, Egypt does come a close second and I think the Sham dialect third.
Love your videos keep up the amazing work!

Ur wrong
I guess this is the case in many countries of the world, but you can guess which city someone is from in Libya by how they speak... West Libya gas a very different dialect from the East and the South. The places in between are similar to one or another of them, and it's not hard to learn which is which after a while.
I am Indian, I studied a bit of arabic from the Masjid. My exposure to arabic was during my stay in uae. My manager was a Yemeni, his arabic looked very closer to quran. Somehow, I like the shami dialect.
I plan on doing a bachelors in African Studies a year from now. In the first year you learn Swahili and the second year you go abroad to learn a second language. I recently decided that it had to be Arabic. After doing more research and starting with a language learning app I became a little overwhelmed and wondered if I was setting the bar too high for myself. Seeing that a non native speaker can understand all these different dialects is really inspirational. Thanks so much for the guidance you offer. I will definitely check out the webinar.
everything is possible

I'll give you another point of view: if I were to learn a dialect and you just started learning standard Arabic, or you are planning to travel a lot, I'd learn either Egyptian or Shami dialect (Syrian especially) for those reasons:
1. Both are easier to pronounce than other dialects and feels a little lighter on the foreign tongue.
2. Both of them are widely spread across other Arab regions due to the media influence of the Egyptian cinema and Syrian series and TV shows, so you almost can't find an Arab who can't understand those dialects.
3. Both dialects have been very little influenced by a foreign language, so you are less likely to hear non-Arabic words in them.
with that said, if you are really good at standard Arabic, you'd be better to learn one of the gulf dialect since they are closer to standard Arabic
now I wanna try to learn Shami dialect, any recommendations for Syrian tv shows/movies?
I don't see any benefit in learning dialects
Learn Standard Arabic, the best books, newspapers, and media, official and administrative documents, and education of schools, universities, documentary and historical films, and everything important in Standard Arabic, and all Arabic speakers find it.
Even groups that do not speak Arabic in North Africa and the Middle East, such as amazigh (Berber), Kurds, Assyrians and Syriacs, find classical
To me being easier to pronounce isn't necessarily a plus, it sounds like they just aren't completely pronouncing certain sounds. I would prefer to learn a dialect that properly pronounces the consonants
The classical arabic is the most beautiful arabic in my opinion. And I'm not a Arab. But learning it made it easy to understand all the other dialects
i really like this video and makes me more interested in arabic
Thanks Mohammad for this video I'm a mauritanian subscriber ..thanks for staying in the country by the way we welcome you :)
As a note i think our dialect was one of the closest to standard Arabic but due to the french colonial it was heavily impacted resulting in borrowing and absorbing a lot of french words which created a lot of confusion today .
"Arabic Dialects" thank you for taking the time to collect and share the various dialects in the Arabic language.
That’s very interesting to watch.. the sentences should have been a bit longer to listen more to the different dialects ..
In addition, egypt for example has multiple distinct dialects ( nubian, port-said, alexandrian and upper egypt)
Cant wait for part 2 !
thanks for the video!

What's common between Arabic dialects?
1-The names of objects : sky, door, stone, wall,, tree, sun, moon...etc;;
2-The names of colours and the counting system;
3-Most adjectives: big, high, strong, fat, weak..and tens of adjectives;
4-Most verbs are common in Arabic dialects: go, sit, sleep, eat, drink, laugh 😃
5-pronouns and possessive pronouns.
Egypt is a middle between the countries of the Levant and the Maghreb, and a middle between the countries of the north and the south of the Arab countries. There are local dialects, which are the dialect of the northern coasts such as Alexandria, the agricultural dialect of Wajh Bahri, the dialect of the people of Cairo in Lower Egypt, the dialect of the people of Cairo in Lower Egypt, the dialect of Saïda in Upper Egypt, the Sudanese dialect in Aswan, Halayeb, Shalateen, the Nuba language divided between Egypt and Sudan, and the dialect of the people of Cairo in Upper Egypt. Western Egypt and its oases, which is a Libyan dialect, a dialect north of the Sinai Peninsula, similar to the dialect of Palestine, and a dialect south of the Sinai Peninsula, similar to the dialect of the people of Najd in Saudi Arabia.
Salaam akhi,
Great content. My ancestors are originally Arab (Yemeni) but we've been living in the UK for the past 4 generations and over time we have lost our language. My main reason is to connect with my origins. We tend to visit the UAE often so I thought I should focus on the Emirati dialect. However, as you know Emiratis only make up only around 11% of the population, so it would be in vain. This video was educational and helped me to understand how I should go about learning Arabic inshaAllah. It's about time I start this journey and I'll be defo looking into your books and program. Jazakallahu khair.
There are loads of Arabic (yemeni) teachers in the UK. Have you explored that option? Mixing and talking to people from the Yemeni community in the UK might help. Good luck with your journey.
Well ppl in the Uk usually go spend their vacations in Morocco, so maybe the moroccan dialect could be helpful in the future

Arabic Dialects! Thank you for this video!

I'm from Lebanon originally and its insane how much variation of the dialect there is from Classic Beruity dialect which is understood by pretty much the entirety of the Arab world to the more rural areas of Lebanon.
Ikr
I'm from palestine🇵🇸 and I speak almost 12 accent in Arabic and I see that shami accent (palestine, Syria, lebonon, jorden) Is very easy because it's kinda soft but very clear at the same time also Egyption accent is easy too😃
@@shauci237 amm yeah but I have another point
When someone wanna lean Arabic it's will be kinda hard for him/her because it's really heavy for non-arab
Also it's close to fosha, "Classical Arabic" so in my opinion it's complex for non arab, but it's still The most understandable dialects of Arabs not speaking, clear accent but heavy in the same time
@@shauci237 you're welcome brother/sister 🌼
@@shauci237 when I was a kid I didn’t know the difference between Shami’s accent , but yeah I agree I think Palestinian and Jordanian are ones of the most clear accents I love the Syrian though bc of the media :D also Kuwaiti and Egyptian for same reason and the last one is the most popular
I’m from South Saudi (originally) but I think Makkah, Madina ,Taif (some of theirs) ,and Riyadh are the most clear accents here

Arabic Dialects
Jazakallah brother!
Most local dialect vocabulary can be traced to classical Arabic and that's why it's still the main one. You rarely can jump between accents directly without understanding classical Arabic
Saudi Arabia has three main dialects. Najdi dialect which is spoken in the Najd region and is popular because it is spoken in the capital city Riyadh. Hijazi dialect which is spoken in the Hijaz region, which includes Makkah and Madinah as well. Gulf or khalijeeh Dialect which is spoken near the Persian(or Arabian) Gulf.
And southern dialect as well. Which is similar to Yemeni dialect spoken mostly in Asir, Jizan and Najran.
Yes
@@ydiabO no tf it’s not. Just the jizani dialect that is similar to Yemeni not all southern Saudi dialects
@@ydiabO Not true.. Asir, Jazan and Najran have totally different dialects.. Jazan alone has many dialects within itself, people don't even understand each other. for example, Faifa dialect is just too hard, I would even say it's harder than Morrocan, Algerian dialects.
It's not (and, I quote it) "gulf or Khalliji dialect. It's Sharqiya!!!!! 😑 🤦🏼♀️
Lol 😂 😂 😂
I appreciate your effort to prepare this video. I've just became your subscriber haha 😄 I am learning MSA and in future my goal is to learn Lebanese dialect 😍
