Arabic is a Central Semitic language and has official/national status Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, SADR, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania (Zanzibar), Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
Spanish is a Western Romance language that originated in the Castile region of Spain which has expanded to become the world's second-most spoken native language group of languages. Most of modern Spanish comes from Latin, with ancient Greek and Arabic also having an impact on the language. It has also been influenced by Basque, Iberian, Celtiberian, Visigothic, French, Italian, Occitan, Catalan and Sardinian, as well as from Nahuatl, Quechua, and other indigenous languages of the Americas. The Spanish language evolved from Vulgar Latin, which was brought to the Iberian Peninsula by the Romans during the Second Punic War, beginning in 210 BC. Previously, several pre-Roman languages, unrelated to Latin, and some of them unrelated even to Indo-European, were spoken in the Iberian Peninsula. These languages included Basque (still spoken today), Iberian, Celtiberian and Gallaecian. Today, Spanish is the official language of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, Uruguay, and Venezuela. - บันเทิง

Kurdish sorani vs Turkish would be interesting
Bahador, I have a question -- I went to college with a student from Iran. His name is Jamshid Ohadi... Is "Jamshid" the Persian word for "James"?
Just a suggestion: It could be interesting if you shortly explain the etymology of some words to understand why it is shared between different languages.
Will there be a release of georgian armenian languages?
I know some Ladino so I wish I could contribute that but not natively and I already know a bit of Spanish so wouldn't be a good candidate.
I started learning arabic 3 years ago, i love the language! specially lebanese/syrian accent, though it's a bit hard for me but i hope i'll become fluent someday insha'allah
hi. i wanted to ask, how much have u learned in 3 years? i am learning arabic as well.
Abdul Ghous not much sadly :( i need to practice it
@@itsvogel i see thank you. i am learning it in the traditional way so its very difficult. like first learning Knowledge of Nahw then Sarf. i want to read texts written hundreds of years ago so its really difficult.
@Ale Vogel. You will learn very fast with Hiba Hajem's lessons on the "Learn Lebanese Arabic with Hiba Najem" channel. I found it easier to learn a local form of Arabic first (in my case Lebanese) so that I could communicate with people and understand movies, and little by little am also acquiring the Fusha through reading and hearing the news. The key to making rapid progress is to learn the words in Arabic letters so that you can recognize the root of a word despite the different vowel sounds due to grammar or local varieties of Arabic.
Abdul Ghous we can make it 💪🏼
The origin of 'ojalá' surprise me a lot as a spanish speaker. Arabic it's like a brother language.
haha me too, as an Arabic speaker, but it's true! So interesting!!
Seduccion Ya.
In = O
Sha’a = J
Allah= Alá
☺️ God willing
Allah in Arabic means God & in Spanish means Alá :)
La j en castellano antiguo era sh pero escrito con x
Not a brother language bu more likely a mother language cuz all of these words are arabic
As a Spanish speaker, now I would like to learn Arabic!
Miguel Sotomayor 👍🏻 interesting, and the same for me, i would like to learn Español
It's great👌 but arabic is hard even for arabs
Yeah good luck on learning it as it is the second most hardest language I. The world 😭
@Miguel Sotomayor have you started learning Arabic yet???
Miguel Sotomayor you will find lot of smililarties case of history of Arab ruling south Spain before centuries
I'm proudly Mexican and I'm proudly of Lebanese/Palestinian ancestry, I love my arab roots
Jalil = Khalil ( خليل) = mean friend
You aren't Arab
Lebanese are not Arabs
@Arabian knight Lebanon isn't an Arab country my bro just that a it has a lot of Syrian imigrants
Arabian knight I thought the North African Natives are Berbers " Amazigh " so you're not native to the land?
Don't forget the arabian spend 800 years in Spain until 1492. They enriched the culture and the spanish language.
800 years in Granada. The Christian kingdoms were occupied for a few years or 1 century maximum. In 1085, most of Spain had been reconquered by the Christians
Green Mustardgas
They enriched Europe, linguistically, culturally and scientifically....whether you like it or not.
Green Mustardgas yeah well Europeans are descendants of the Middle East
Even longer if you also count the Phoenicians who were Semitic people like Arabs. They were also the first people to invent writing.
Green Mustardgas it’s not about looking up. European ancestors are from the Middle East. How you feel today doesn’t change where they come from
Love to all Arabic people from Spain❤. I really love your culture

I'm Latin American and Spanish is my language. I learnt the Arabic alphabet and how to write any word you mentioned to me in that script because I just love the way the characters are written, they look like cute little snakes. I never learnt any Arab words, I was just interested in the letters "Hamza", "Ra", "Tha", "Thu" ect,ect. But now I have forgotten all of it. I also remember you would use these little 2 or 3 points above some of the characters.
Lol I learned arabic I was 7
we use the 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 all of them, 2 : aa, 3 : also aa but not the same prononciation, 5 : kha, 7 , ha and 9: qa

I suggest Arabic and Maltese.
the Maltese is more like Maghreb region (Tunisia,Algeria, Moroccan) Arabic dialect
Maltese is exactely like maghrebi dialects(tunisian/moroccan/algerian dialects) but mixed with italian and some english.
tim el
I think closer to Tunisian
Tunisan and Maltese will b epic !
@@osamaroum
The similarity to Fusha is still obvious though. It would make it more of a challenge than comparing it with Maghrebi. Would be cool if they used dialectal Arabic in these videos though.
My favorite was "Insha Allah"! Great job my love! ❤
❤❤
I knowww.. right !
The word ojala is basic old arcaic proper Spanish. Most Latinos/Hispanic don't even realize there saying "GOD" name when they wish for something or in a religious sense. Allah just means "The god" in Arabic.
Ojala literally means "if god wills it" or how most speakers use it these days "I wish"
Very subtle
Mine too! Beautiful!
O that 's why my equador friend ask me when i said insya allah. He thought it is spanish word.
I’m impressed! Most of words you choose could be perfectly understood and spoke in Portuguese!!!!
true the Portuguese pronunciation is more accurate than the Spanish pronunciation.

Oi Amigo sou Sírio no brasil
Quero fala pra te que nome de seu país mesmo e Árabe 😃
Portugal em Árabe “برتقال” que significa Laranja 🍊 ou terra de laranjas
Nonsense. The Portuguese language came from Northern Western Iberia (region known as Portugaliza or Gallaecia). There were virtually no Arabs/moors there since the Kingdom of Galiza was christian.
@Khaled. Para de falar Besteira. Portugal vem do Latim ''Portus Cale''. Nome de origem Romana. Portugal quer dizer Laranja em TURCO (o nome da fruta vem do nome do pais, e não o contrario), não tem origem Arabe (até porque o som ''P'' não existe em Arabe).
Me gusta este video. I speak Serbian and I recognised word zaytun - oil, and few others . We pronounce it like zejtin. As many other Arabic words it came in my language through Turkish. A good work Bahador, you are very brave! 🌄
Zdravo Bojan! Once I was in Banja Luka with my 4 months of the baby and wife. We left the room but forgot the pıllow in the room. I came back and told the reception I forgot pıllow or cushion. They dıd not get me . When I show them. They saıd Jastuk! ıt was Turkısh!
@@Chimmerian72
Yes, jastuk, česma, tepih, čaršaf, dušek, and many others. We change them a bit, but they are still recognisable
Al kadi - judge. Alcalde - today mayor, earlier judge in Spain. Kadija - judge in Turkish.
Fun idea for a video. Vast majority of Arabic origin words in Spanish came into the language through Mozarabic, which was an Andalusi Romance speech, or a type of Vulgar Latin spoken in Andalusia that was significantly “Arabized” in vocabulary and was written mainly in the Arabic script.
Arabic language is the mother of languages 💜
Love from Russia 🇷🇺 ☺️
'
Are you learning Arabic ?
@EuropaNostra lol it didnt make sense lmao
Not greek, and not even arabic, english is the mother language lol
Wrong, its phoenician
Hola putin🖐
I speak Spanish and was aware that there a lot of words of Arabic origin, such as "Aceituna" and "Ojala", plus most of the "Al..." words, but a lot of these surprised me, like "Arroz"
Tahons also means tahona in Arabic
These are what the arabic language infamously refer to as "solar" (skip "l") and "lunar" (pronouce "l") letters:
AlRoz is therefore pronounced ArRoz since letter "R" is a solar letter
الحروف الشمسية و القمرية
interesting idea. What determines a letter's solarity or lunarity?
@@andreasghb8074 In a nutshell, what determines is the pronunciation of the letter.
In Arabic we have characters placed on letters to define their pronunciation. For example, the letter ر = R, if we place "ِ" on it like رِ , it is pronounced as "Ri", رُ is pronounced like "Ru" and رَ would be "Ra". There is also a character that means the letter is stressed, in that case it is a "solarity letter". Just like رُّ = Rru, in the word الرُّز = pronounced as "Arroz✔" and not "Al-Aroz❌" and in Spanish it's "Arroz" too.
@@andreasghb8074 On the other hand, the word الكُحول alcohol, has no stressed character, so it's lunar and the "Al ال" is pronounced. Characters or accent marks are not always placed on letters in Arabic, if you speak it fluently, you'll know how it's pronounced without even hearing the word before.
Loved the video, as a Spanish speaker i knew a lot of our words are derived from Arabic. As Moors rules Spain for Centuries. I was just having this conversation with someone who flat out refused to believe it! some words that are similar are Almohada, Almojabana, Alberca, Azucar, Azafran, Aceite, Aceituna, Algodon, Ajedrez, Algebra, Alfombra, Algoritmo, Alacran, Albahaca. Almendra, there are more but this list is just A's - Jarabe, Cafe, Jirafa, Hasta, Ojala, guitarra, blusa, fideo, etc etc etc..too many to continue
Guitar comes from the Greek kitar... don't forget that in al andalus playing music instruments was outlawed and that the Spanish guitar was invented in the 15th century and it is an instrument with Greek tuning...
Wrong , music was a big thing in muslim andalusia, there is a whole genre still sang in northen african countires brought by the Iberian muslims and jews who took refuge there at the time , it is popular in Morocco especially, you can check out one of the ceremonies on TH-cam , Gharnati for instance (as from granada) is one type and is beautiful.
@@lightarrow1684- what proof you have that musical instruments were banned in Moorish Spain?
In fact it was the most advanced country in whole of Europe before the inquisition!
I wish I knew how to speak Arabic, it’s so beautiful!!! Don’t even get me started on Spanish, that’s sexy too!
Fulano surprised me, didn't know it was derived from Arabic
Even the Spanish word "Hola" came from the Arabic "hala" which means "welcome "
Hola* ola without the h means wave 🌊
@@danielkmilo241298 and ola is hello in Portuguese
Dude,you are way off. RAE- Hola-Voz expr.; cf. ingl. hello, al. hallo.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Hola!! Hala!!
Hala Madrid. Even is an Arabic expression!!! That means in old spanish. Blanca Madera/Casta (race of people)
I love Arabic.
@@xavierlehnhoff1562 I love Latin and Romance languages as the main influence in Iberia. Arabic is a very minor influence.
I am Mexican of Iraqi heritage.. my grandparents migrated from Iraq and converted to Catholicism.. there are many Arab Latino in Latin America
My ancestors from my mom's side came from the Middle East as well and converted to Catholicism, but I left the church and became an atheist!
There are many in Venezuela as well, so interesting!
@rr rr Sorry but this is not true.
I am irreligious myself, but i must clarify that catholic church as far as i know don't prevent anyone to join, at least that's the case in my country, Venezuela.
Not so long ago i had the opportunity to talk a bit with a Syrian man who had been living for more than 40 years here, he has no family in Syria anymore, he got married with a Venezuelan woman, his children are from here as well, and he is catholic, whether he practices it or not, i honestly don't care, but he is.
Alex Andreas what part of Mexico did they migrate to? My grandfather migrated from Iraq to Mexico as well
Are you sure they weren't already Christians, especially from Iraq, where they Chaldeans?
I'm intrigued by the origin of "ojala". It makes total sense now that I know where it's from.
This video is incredible, because it touches on the history and includes innovative original information. I have watched various videos comparing Spanish and Arabic but they mostly just have the same few words, and some of them are basically universal words. But this video is very unique and by far a lot more interesting than any other I’ve seen. Thank you!!
But you also see, that almost the only similiar words in both language are related to food and house stuff
@@mumtazibrahim5604 there are lots of words relating to the state, military and the judicial system and architecture but they are not used too much outside the historical or specialised context.
Also other examples of similarities :
Como = Cama , in Arabic
Azotea = Asateh
Jirafa = Zarafa
almacén= almahcen
alcalde = alcady
vaca = baqara
zapatos= sappat
Berenjena= bathenjan
Otras=okhra
alcaldìa= albaladia
jueves=Khamys/the sound (kh)خ in both of them
jarabe= sharab
barrio= barria
Alquimia= Alkimya
Algodon = alcotton
alcaraz = alkaraz
Zoco = soq
almazara= almasara
Alcázar =Alkaser
Azafran= Asafaran
alberca= alberka
Gacela = Gasala
Alfèrez = Alfares
Taza = tasa
quintal= quintar
and there’s more alot ...
Adreich , I’m talking about similarities !! not the origin of the word ,even though some are universal but not all of them have the same way of pronounce among other different nations, for Arabic -Spanish it’s very convergent that’s due to the long-term impact
for example “pants” , in Spanish “pantalón“ exactly the same in Arabic has also another pronounce more formal “ pental” , they don’t say pants !! So hope it’s clear now
@@e.grevolucion6293 oh! I'm surprised now.. they're almost the SAME! I'm Syrian tho.. much respect to you and to the Spanish Nation❤
@karim , also lots of respect for you and the heroic Syrian people..
@Adreich Alchohol is an Arabic term, it's true it's universal but it's origin is the Arabic term "الكحل". You can identify it's Arabic by "al- ال" = the in English. It was named after an Arab alchemist "Jaber Ibn Hayyan" during the Islamic golden age, back when we were known as scientists and inventors rather than terrorists :(.
Ojala I will start learning Spanish.
Omg I'm very impressed about the word "Ojalá" and its origin. Here you have a new Venezuelan subscriber!!! Love this kind of videos and information.
I speak Portuguese. I think we are fonetically closer to Arabic.
Oxalá (x=sh)
Jarra (same as arabic)
Azeite, açúcar (ç=s)
Falua (feluka)
Almofada, arroz, tâmara (date), azulejo, anil, alcácer (castelo), azeitona, Portuguese also has lots of places: Algarve, Almada, Odeceixe, Aljube... loved the video!
It is not, cause Spanish "J" sound was get from Arabic Language and it's similar to Arabic "H" and "J". Arabic were in Spain for 800 years and there they builded bigger fortress like "La Alhambra" than in Portugal was. (They were less time in Portugal, around 700 years). I know that cause my best friend is arabic and all his family lives in Spain, here there are a lot Arabic people living in.
Yes fonetically. The spanish decided to pronunce j as kh. But it used to be like Portuguese sh. That's why in English the wine of jerez is called sherry. Because at that time the city was called jerez( SHerez
Wow not hard To understand
Woww im an Arab and understand the words so same
Nice!
Im portuguese and i love arabic language . In south of Portugal there are lot of cities with the word ‘al’ in their names and it come from arabic
Exactly! 👍
But, sadly our people seems to forget it or, at least, deny it...
Just and only by pure Hatred. 😿 😢
So sad and embaracing 🤦♀️ 🤷♀️
And the El that you use it came from Al the Arabic word
Arabs sometimes say Al sometimes el
“Portugal” is actually in itself arabic, “al bortuqal” means “orange” 🍊in arabic 🙃 and al bufaira is in arabic al buhaira (al bu7aira) which means lake..
Fati Lns it’s actually from latin meaning warm port
@@fatilns2286 lol. Portugal comes from Latin and means Gate of Gaul.
Arabs and Iranians call oranges Portaghal probably because it was imported by the Portuguese. In Afghanistan Dari they call orange Malta.
I speak Arabic, but Loay’s Arabic is perfect, I feel like I am learning more about my language just listening to him speak.
I'm sure you're kidding! curcuma..
Gus Lite curcuma was a single slang word from Syrian that he brought up and it was funny, not even part of the selected words. All the words used were pronounced in standard Arabic, and you obviously know this if you speak Arabic.
Omar G."All the words used were pronounced in standard Arabic" القَطِرَانٍ pronounced alqotran, was wrong and the meaning would mean different thing " القُطْرُ : النَّاحية "
I understand he was speaking in his Arabic dialect, but wasn't perfect Arabic.
Gus Lite If you speak better Arabic then please create a video to educate us please? I am waiting! Loay has great pronunciation, his accent is great, and even if he has a bit of Syrian accent in there, that's great, Syria has been at the heart of Arabic culture and language.
I agree some of those words I didn't understand and he made them sound normal and easy.
Im Mexican,indian,Lebanese/Syrian, Spanish.My whole family is Mexican,My mom mom mom dad was Indian,My great great tata was born in Lebanon or syria,My ancestors were from Spain.❤❤

Dear Bilal, it is a proven historical and linguistic fact that the Greek language was influenced back then by the Phoenician language (a semitic language but NOT Arab) in 1200 before Christ when the Assyrians invaded Phoenician land they existincted them. The Assyrian also took over Jewish land and sent them to exile to Babylon. However, the Phoenician language was a semitic language like Hebrew and Arabic is. Phoenician were NO ARABS. The Spanish language has been influenced by the semitic language of the Moros which are also semitic like the Hebrews and the Arabs but they were NO Arabs. In Europe existing several indoeuropean languages. Yes they are all Indoeuropeans, but they are not the same. There are Latin languages like Spanish, Italian, French, Rumanian, Raetoromanic, Provencalish/Oczitanish, Germanic languages like German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and English, Slavic languages like Polish, Serbo-Croatic (by the way Bosnian language is a Serbo-Croatic language - there is no Bosnian language really existing as the only difference between "Bosnian" from Serbic and Croatic is just that the Bosnians use some words taken from the Arab language due to their religion), Bulgarian, etc... You see how many folks are existing in Europe? So now hopefully you do understand that the Arabs has arabised or extincted all other Semitic languages all over Middle East - except the Hebrew as it is much much older than Arabic ever would be. Correctly said is, yes the Greek language and culture has been influenced by Semitic languages and religions - by the Phoenician language and the Jewish religion. BUT - they are NO ARABS. Please stop arabizing everything and everyone. I know it is quite complex Anthropology but nevertheless I hope people understand it in near future. If not, well what else can I say then "si lo natura no da, salamanca no presta"
@@rainhawk5264
Thanks for explaining
Regen Falke Man just fuck off. Arabs have never Arabized such things,even the countries . Read som hostorical books. Arabs have 3 old languages such as Thamudi. Al-Mohriah and Al-Hamyariah. All of these languages are too similar to each other and also to other Semitic languages. Don’t lie ever again. Our languages are just simple related to each other. That all. It’s not a big deal. Arabic and other languages are simply derived from ancient Semitic language which is called poto. I don’t know how to spell it but do some searches and ask Iraqis they are gonna tell you the truth.

Ojala (sound ohala) means almost the same as in Sha allá, like someone wish something to happen or hope that happen
Yo lo intérprete como hinchála
@@robertomotta6461 what's "hinchala"? (Btw,your name sounds italian to me,is it?)
Islam ruled over Spain and Portugal for over 400 years before the Spanish took back control and kicked them out. So most words in Spanish and Portuguese come straight from Arabic as well as the music. Spanish music is heavily influenced from Islam and even the acoustic guitar that they call the “Spanish guitar” comes straight from another instrument in Islam
This was awesome! I knew there were similarities but I didn't know how much they changed. Thank you for putting this together.

Our word for sugar is “shu’këlh” (we don’t have Rs). I always knew it was derived from the English but I would’ve never guessed that it has its roots in a Semitic language.
Arabic brought world culture to the world...
Actually the word for sugar came to Arabic from Persian but was transmitted to European languages via Arabic probably.
In Portuguese we have:
Almofada
Fulano/fulana
Azeite
Açúcar
Jarra
u know Bortokal means in Arabic Orange the fruit
we use it to make jokes about portugal 😂❤
@King of Mesopotamia
Asal = honey
first letter is ع

@King of Mesopotamia
hahaha there is no such word in arabic like that 😂😂
i though all kurds in iraq speaks arabic
Nothing wrong with learning mother language, but they will have hard time to leave their home. At least, they should teach them english or even chinese for the sake of some future!
@King of Mesopotamia
Why they're not teaching the Young generation Arabic too ?
Still waiting for Swahili and Arabic comparison
Me too. I wish I lived in Toronto!

Swahili proverb:baada ya dhiki faraja Arabic baadal dhik faraj same
sn00piedog Hey Hey Hey, Almost All People In Tanzania speaks SWAHILI as a mother tongue, Proper Swahili. As matter of fact, ARABIC IS TOO CLOSE TO SWAHILI than you can imagine as in Arabic contributed and enriched Swahili language to 30%. And it’s not even old Arabic as you are saying, the words like Fulani, Sabaa, Thelathin, Shukrani, Damu, arobaini, Hamsini, themanini and so many words can’t mention all of them are from Arabic.
Local Coastal Africans are those who are using SWAHILI as our native and normal language I mean we people from coastal Swahili is our Native language, And Swahili resulted from interaction between Arab and local people from here so we coastal people are WASWAHILI and SWAHILI is our NATIVE LANGUAGE. And we can’t escape Arabs as in it’s not like we are praising them as they are superiors or anything but that’s a reality you, we cannot deny.
I'm Moroccan and in darija (which is the Moroccan dialect) we do have a lot of actual Spanish words because of Andalusia and obviously colonisation and proximity. For example in MSA the word for shoes is hidhaa in Darija its sabat in Spanish its sapatos. Bed or blanket in MSA is sarir and ghitaa in Darija its cama for both in Spanish bed is cama. Place in MSA is makan in Darija is blasa in Spanish is plaza. Wheel in MSA is ajlat doulab in Darija is ruida and is rueda in Spanish. A week in MSA is usbu3 in Darija its simana and in Spanish is semana. Anyway you got my point Moroccan dialect is full of Spanish and French words which are both of Latin origin. I understand that it's hard for people of the middle east to comprehend our dialect since it's a mix Arabic, Amazigh, Spanish and French anyway great video ♥️
I certainly hope to do a video with Darija and Spanish one day!
I speak Arabic, French and English. The three of them pretty much fluently. When I hear Spanish, I do have a general idea of the meaning of the word.
Languages are pretty fascinating 🤓
This was an awesome video man. I love videos that deal with both Arabic and Spanish and the words that Spanish has absorbed from the language!
Do Greek and Spanish please. You'll find many common words
The Latin have many influences on the Antique Greek linguage. The Greeks havent many colonies-city for the Mediterranium. Sorry my inglish. ;-)
Yes Spanish is in all languages I see... 😍😍😍👍👍👍

As an Arabic speaker.. I'm getting interested in learning Spanish.. we have a lot of similarities..
The girl was getting lost in translation and pronouning some of the spanish words the way an english speaker would.
In Tagalog, sugar is asukal, coffin is ataul, tar is alkitran. We also know that arros is rice. There is a tagalog expression of surprise - ‘Hala!’ which might be a derivative of "ojala" and "Insha Allah”. Curcume! LMAO!
Tagalog and all Philippines languages have Arabic words transmitted through Spanish... Don't forget SELAMAT.. Welcome to our big family !!!
Do similarities between Arabic vs Indian or Hindi language
A lot of similarities words such as but not limited:
Qanon = law 👨🏻⚖️
Duniya = world 🌍
Nahi = Negative 👎🏼
Qurban = oblation 🔪
Muhabbat = Love ❤️
Ishq = full in love 😍
Elegant oh wow I’ve always heard the word “Nahi” but I didn’t know it’s نهي in Arabic 😮
Amina Ali
First time I knwe that NAHI is equal to NAHI :)
Shukria thank you no?
Nahi is not negative it's "No". Negative is "Manfi".

In Andalusian Spanish dialect is spoken in Puerto Rico since the Andalusians settled in the Carribean. For Hasta, we do say or can say hata.
And Canarians.
andalusian? jajajajaja

Mario Ortiz that’s because Puerto Rican’s can’t speak proper Spanish lol. I don’t think “eetoy eecribiendo “ is a phrase influenced by Arabic. It’s just that Puerto Rican’s DONT speak good Spanish and they don’t say the S in many words.
@@AlexartCorp what u mean Puerto Ricans dotn speak good spanish it's just there dialect😂
I'm trying to learn both Spanish and Arabic, and this video was really helpful, thanks Bahador

Would be curious to see English with Spanish, French, and German :)
Absolutely loving these videos as it focuses on how much we have in common and sheds light on our history. Thank you!

My first language is Spanish but I has some trouble listening to Darling speaking it.
She pronounces everything like a mix of English and Spanish, both in English and Spanish.
I had some trouble understanding some words and I speak Spanish everyday, lol.
But leaving that aside I loved this video! Arabic sounds like a very beautiful language.
Loved learning all these words in common.
Yes, it also happened to me, though at the end she sounded absolutely Venezuelan!
This is because her English is not so good still (it'll be soon), and she is trying to speak English as good as possible, so she ends up mixing the two. I think that's a common situation.
But, yes, i agree with you. It just melted me that she is Venezuelan. One might hate one's country, and yet, it's exciting to hear from it.
Not that i hate it, just the current situation.
She doesn't move her mouth much and I am a native Spanish speaker.
We use Falana in a Hindi. Like, Falana Falana, like etc etc. had no idea it’s an Arabic word.
Fulan male and fulana for famale in arabic
This was really interesting, I loved it!
Love your content, Keep it up !!
We have been waiting for this❤❤❤❤
I loved the video, and Portuguese also shares plenty of similarities! But it seems that the search was made in classical arabic, and the speaker uses the levantin dialect, and the Spanish/ Venezuelan differences also had their role. Amazing too see this too!
Very interesting.. really liked it. You have a new subscriber
Interesting point raised! Arabic and Spanish had a vast larger amount in common during the time of Al-Andalus from 711 to 1492. A large chunk of those words have either changed so much through time that they are not similar at all or aren't being used in both languages anymore. After the Reconquista process and the Alhambra decree in the 15th century the Catholic rulers of Spain aimed to eliminate much of the Islamic influence, not only religiously but also culturally and linguistically. In the 10th and 11th centuries at the height of the rise of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the similarities would have reached its peak.
Fazraz Farzam till now so many cities in Spain still have the names given to them by the Muslims at the time. Like Granada and Córdoba and Gibraltar and the list goes on. Even Alhambra comes from Arabic.
work office not sure what you mean by that? What Arabic culture remains in Spain and Portugal today is a mere fraction of what was there a thousand years ago
The language and people were called Moriscos
maybe the 10th but the 11th century saw the implosion of Al Andalus in multiple Taifas and in 1085, an Amazigh (Berber) dynasty from Mauritania took control of Islamic Spain
Most of that influence was in the South and just as the invaders had imposed their language and religion ,the Kings cleansed as much as possible any influence of the invaders. Asturias and other areas in the north were never occupied and some parts of central Spain were only occupied for a short span . Only the south was occupied for a long period of time which is were you will find the strongest influence although the Spanish Kings repopulated the area with people from the north who had not been influenced by the Moors so eventually the influence was watered down and all the Moors and even many Moor influenced Christians being expelled to the Maghreb.
(before watching the video) As an Arab-Mexican, I know that the clothing items sounds similar. Bantalon, Pantalones. Qamis, Camisa. So, this'll be interesting for me! Lol
Don't forget. Both call Germany as Alemania
I don't know Arabic so pls excuse me but I know that they call it Alemania
@@shaileshdeshpande5094 yes but Almania without e
I always say Ojala, when I want something to go well, Ojala is a Spanish word from the Hispanic Arabic law šá lláh ("if God wants"), this from the classical Arabic وشاء الله (wa-šā 'allāh, "If God wants").
The Spanish language is the result of the historical evolution of Latin, the language of Ancient Rome, spoken in the province of Hispania.
It is a Romance language, which received direct influence from Arabic and Berber.
Words of Arabic origin thus constitute the most important contribution to the Spanish lexicon after Latin.
With the Arab legacy, the Spanish language obtained its own identity, it became a much more beautiful language.
Let us remember that all the Romance languages received foreign influences: While the Spanish and Portuguese languages have Arab legacy, French has it from the Germanic, and Romanian from the Slavs.
Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
I intended to learn Spanish and it is easier now I'm from Iraq and all the love for Spanish people♡♥♡:3
Would you please try Arabic and Swahili ?
These two languages have a lot im common, even the name of the language Swahili comes from Arabic, means ( Coast )
Eastern Coast of Africa were some countries speak it.
The connection would be obvious as theyre mostly borrowed words. I believe his channel is to show language connections that may not be obvious. Swahili and Arabic would be interesting nonetheless.
How interesting! I live in Granada (Spain), and here there's a village which name is Alfacar. Alfacar is famous due to his pottery or alfarería.
Hola... Alfareria comes the Arabic El-Fakhariah which means all things made of porcelain or a porcelain shop...

@@user-oj6ix6qc7q Actually alfalfa is an edible plant. The word comes from Spanish "alfalfez" which obviously comes from Arabic "al-fisfisa", meaning "fresh fodder" similar to hay or straw.
@@user-oj6ix6qc7q I'm Spanish but we use the same exact word, Alfalfa is a plant that get a blue colour when it's mature and we use it to feed the horses, I don't know the word in english or greek.

Arabic is basically in every language ! Music of similar to Mosika in Arabic which obviously invented by Arabs even the 🎶 was formed during the Andalusian era
Actually "music" comes from greek "mousike" literally "art if the muses"
music' from Greek

Spanish is a bit close to Arabic because the Arabs ruled Spain and Portugal a long time ago.
If the horrors of the Inquisition did not occur, all the Spaniards would become Muslim to their own will to this day
Fun fact: Most muslims in Spain were not Arab
This is so interesting! Thank you (I am studying Arabic right now).. :)

Thank you for this wonderful and very useful topic to shed light on this culture shared by peoples
My greetings to all of you.
Wow! This video is highly educational and the words chosen makes for a very informative video, because so far the other Spanish & Arabic comparisons I have encountered they make the pivotal point as a few Arabic words that have become somewhat universal, but here we see a deeper connection, and having south American Spanish with an Arabic from Suria displays further the depth of geographical expansion of the words
I heard words from Spanish series like fatora which means bill it's in Arabic fatora فاتورة and I heard bantlon = trousers = بنطلون (bantlon) and qamisa = shirt = قميص (qamis)
all of them are the same in turkish too 😃
+T I yes ur right. ı didnt see it
hussam abdallah here in Kuwait t shirt=fanila
Thursday=qamis
Pants=bantaron
+Takgu Yah we say fanila for singlet , undershirt
Daily Game Thursday is “Khamees” not “qamees”
It's actually more words than I expected! Wow thanks for sharing ! Now I think learning Spanish might be easy !
Thank you. Some of the words I chose for this video are a bit difficult to guess because they have changed, but they share the same root. It's interesting when you start to connect them.
Awesome video!!!
