You are wrong. All of the dialects stem from classical Arabic.
Hi Olly, I just looked on Amazon...which is where I purchased a good number of your books....and since you did a video on Arabic...I thought maybe the Arabic for Beginners book would be out...I've only ever seen the Intermediate level Arabic...and thought there has to be a book before that one...but it doesn't appear so...if there is please let me know...I appreciate your method and it's improved my proficiency a number of languages....I've reached a comfortable level on the others and have for some time wanted to focus solely on Arabic....thanks for the guidance....and again...please let me know if you have Arabic for beginners....CW.
There is a theory that says Arabic was already widespread in the ancient world, what you call Babylonian is merely an old Arabic dialect with two scripts or three... same for Dilmun ect
Free Palestine from the animals who occupied it for 75 years
Minutes 3 to 4 is essentially saying we know its not arabic and we now aramaic assyrian hebrew Geez existed and we know which scripts were used and originated where but we need to give arabs some historical medal somehow even if we know the so called arabic features which are probably just ال al and و w also exist in the same and other forms in the other ancient languages, sorry but historical sincerity is becoming a joke
Just took trips to Jordan and Egypt this year to practice my Arabic. I'm only a beginner but it's a very beautiful language. My teacher is Palestinian, free Palestine x
Free palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤❤
No politic please, don't say that words so easily please words are important know what you talking about instead of just repeat what told you your teacher
@@gentilporcelet8035I am Irish. Every Irish person has deep support for Palestine because of the similarities in our history. I am not "repeating what my teacher told me"
@@sadhbh4652 Palestine doesn't exist anymore, boohoo. They are Israeli's now.
@@chickenstrangler3826then explains to me who ownes parts of the west bank and gaza strip?
I'm Jewish and learned Hebrew as a kid in school. I got into language learning in 2021 when in Covid and I started reviving my Hebrew after not speaking it for 18 years. I'm learning Modern Standard Arabic now and the similarities to Hebrew constantly blow my mind, such beautiful languages.
That’s because both of them belong to the Semitic language family also including along with Arabic and Hebrew, Aramaic, Amharic, ge,’ez, Phoenician/Punic, Assyrian Akkadian, , Maltese, Canaanite
@@MarcusAuelius Coptic ancient Egyptian isn't Semitic. Both Egyptian and Semitic are Afro-Asiatic, along with Berber and Hausa and some other languages. I once got a letter with the start of the Bible in Tamasheq Tawa, a Berber language, and while the words are completely different, the word order and formation are strikingly similar to Hebrew.
@@pierreabbat6157 Oh I didn’t know that although I wonder where the Afro asiatic language family as a whole originate from with Porto Afro asiatic. I heard that it originated in east Africa although I am not sure
Maimonides (Moses Ben Maimon) in the medieval ages standardised Hebrew to the Arabic grammar hence so much resonance between both languages.
I've been learning Hebrew and listening to some Christian songs in Hebrew, Arabic and English. The similarities really are incredible!
Actually, it's the quite opposite. When you speak standard Arabic you are more respected, no one will look at you with weird looks or think you are funny. Standard Arabic is almost, literally, in every single thing in our lives. Even when we speak our dialects we use standard Arabic a lot even with our close ones.
Advise: If you are planning to learn Arabic, please do not learn a dialect before The standard Arabic because your pronunciation, spelling, and speaking skills will be all either incorrect or limited to a certain community, and whatever you write in a dialect will be incorrect and informal because the Arabic dialects are not written, they are just spoken.
Or you can easily just stick to standard Arabic. You will find no problems in communication or writing because almost all Arabs speak and understand Standard Arabic.
I like your videos and I appreciate you putting the effort to inform and teach people about Arabic and its History 👍
Exactly basic Arabic is actually really respected so whoever wants too learn MSA go for it ! And you can also speak in it as well no worries
I agree, start with MSA. People will admire you when you speak to them in MSA. This is cuz we are proud of our language. Even we blame ourselves for not using MSA more often.
I am from Yemen and when I go to othrt Arab country with difficult dialect I use MSA and I get well with local people.
@@khadijahameedaldeen9614 exactly we are also almost ashamed for not using msa often it’s how the prophet (saw) and Sahaba (as) used to speak there is nothing wrong with it
Tbh he is right. What you’re saying is ideal but it’s not the reality in the street. I’m Egyptian and if I was to speak MSA to people in Egypt, they would give me the funny looks for sure!
I live in Canada now and even with the different Arabs I meet here I’ve never met anyone that speaks MSA unless I didn’t understand what he’s saying in his dialect, so they’ll explain in MSA or English.
Any advices for listening Arabic ? Radio ? TV ? I want to be understood by the whole Arabic world
The Arabic language has its complexities. We love learning the histories behind various languages and dialects all over the world on this channel.
I'm glad it's useful!
Brilliantly put together! Thank you shedding light on the Arabic learning journey. Hoping this motivates many people to learn our beautiful language ❤️
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.
Solid one, Uncle, really enjoyed this one. As a muslim born in Indonesia, it is a must to learn how to read Arabic letters so we can proceed to read the Qur'an and hadith scripts, but that ends up making most of us only know how to read without really comprehending what these words mean.
This episode is a refreshing one for me. Thanks, Uncle Olly! 🤝🏼
Yes same with places like Pakistan, who end up giving that particular religion a bad name through misinterpretation
that's pretty cool, it means you can write indonesian in both latin and arabic scripts
So beautiful! Definitely going to learn Arabic. I've only ever heard native speakers at airports, but when that intercom comes on, it might as well be a Bedouin reading poetry, the way the lilt falls on my ears!
Arabic is a language of pure beauty 😁👌💯
The video I was waiting for 🎉
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.
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.
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.
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.
That’s quite a sentence!

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.
Amazing video. Greeting from Morocco ❤️🇲🇦
Excellent video
Great video! I would love to see you make a video about how the Thai language is connected to other languages in Asia.
Egyptian Dialect is the most recognized because of their great esteem with Nasserism, Al-Azhar , the Egyptian film industry, and their military power.
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.
Also because Egypt 🇪🇬 has over 100 million people 😂😂😂❤❤❤
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
Nice video
Although you are a language-learning coach (and created the StoryLearning series of language learning books), you give away a TON of information on TH-cam. So much accurate content, such interesting videos, and all for free! Thank you.
Your vids about Arabian language is super fun to watch, am Arabian myself and learned new things tbh 😅
Interesting video and arabic language
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!
Is it just me or the audio is a bit delayed?
Yes.
We had some technical difficulties. All fixed now!
Late, but I started my sojourn into Arabic with the goal of being able to read the Arabic classics and enhance my academic credentials.
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!
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.
This video is very underrated
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".
Can I expect a video about the Swahili language?

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

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.
Thanks for your effort
Please refer to Palistine
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.

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.
@14:00 there are 3 long vowels and 3 short vowels of aa, oo and ee
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 !

You should look up Mehri too as a Bedouin Arab I am curious to see your opinion
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 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.

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.

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.

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 don’t get what you mean, can you explain more
What do you need me to explain@@lightscameras4166
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 ..

"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
We have been misled by our dialects to the point we have to struggle learning the standard Arabic as a new language.
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.
Audio is broken

Maltese is surprisingly mutually intelligible to Arabic
@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.
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 😅

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."

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!
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.
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 😂😂😂
That's mostly because of french and English loan words
👍👍👍👍👍

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.
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.
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.
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 :)
.
Does anyone speak any of the non-arabic languages that existed on the Arabian peninsula?
"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
So are all native Arabic speakers are diglossic?
Hello 👋 I need to say something, As a high school student, who have an Akkadian dictionary, I Find that 90% of its words are understandable to us as Arabs. Although It is one of the most ancient Arabic dialects that is approximately 6,000 years old. Never mind understanding modern and contemporary dialects.
currently, 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 hope you get knowledge about it, as it is an easy cuz it's etymological language with logical rules and a charming figurative language, and you have an inspiring teacher.
Hold on Kurdish is part of the indo iranian language family not semitic similar to talysh, gilaki, baloch, pashtun, farsi, dari,pamiri e.t.c
Yes thats true, but Kurdish is written in Arabic script.
@@fogshadow9112 I feel like most indo Iranian languages specifically iranic languages are written in the Arabic script with some exceptions
@@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.
