Sanʽani Arabic
Native to: Yemen
Native speakers: 11.1 million (2015)
Language family: Afro-Asiatic
The Sanaani dialect is distinguished among Yemeni dialects by its use of the [ɡ] sound in the place of the classical Arabic /q/ (ق qāf ), as well as its preservation of the classical Arabic palatal pronunciation of /ɟ/ (ج ǧim ).
Along with these phonological similarities to other dialects, Sanʽani Arabic also has several unique features. It uses the classical mā in the meaning of "what", as well as in negations. Unlike the classical usage, this mā is used without distinction in verbal and nominal sentences alike. Sanʽani Arabic represents the future aspect with a complex array of prefixes, depending on the person of the verb. For first-person verbs the prefix (ša-) or (‘ad) is used. The derivation of (ša-) is apparently related to the classical (sa-), and (‘ad) is likely an abbreviation of (ba‘d), meaning "after". For all other persons in Sanʽa proper the simple prefix (‘a-) is used, although many of the villages around Sanʽa extend the use of (ša-) for all persons.

I was happy to find this video as it reminded me best years of my childhood when we lived in Aden 😊 After 36 years I still remember some words. Greetings to all the people from Yemen!✨
This is my first time hearing there accent 🇾🇪❤️🇮🇹
🇾🇪❤️🇮🇹
This was a rough accent by the way
Search for yemeni music and u will hear Great music with the accent
@@imbgo3607 ❤️❤️
@@yasserfuad8775 okay thank you 😊
As a Moroccan, I can clearly see that the Moroccan accent came directly from Yemen.. I've read about tribes, one called Maaqil in Morocco that originally came from Yemen
حلمت يا زلامي ؟ لهجة المغربية بعيدة جدا من اللهجة اليمنية عندكم كلمات من اللغة البربرية والفرنسية والإسبانية.
Such crazy diversity between different Arabic dialects!
Is it good or bad though?
Tommo Ash No we don’t ? I pretty mich didn’t understand a thing from this text without reading it

There is heavy dielects which we use around our friends and families and there is a white dielect(I guess thats what its called) that we use with other Arabs. Thats goes for all Arabic dielects.
This is a main dielect. Arabic dielects are in hundreds.

as a non native arabic speaker ( my second language) . i found this to be easier to understand than lots of northern african arabic varieties ( darija etc )
Lmfao ikr, I'm a native northern African, and people always say that we can understand the Middle East, but them, they can't. Too bad it is true as I see.
It could be because Yemeni (the San'ani variety specifically) conserves diphthongs and pronunciations from Classical Arabic, lost in most or all Arabic varieties.
It's actually the least divergent variety from Classical Arabic (phonologically speaking).
E.g. Classical Arabic: kayfa "how"
San'ani: kayf
Najdi: tsēf
Gulf: čēf
Levantine: kīf
Egyptian: kēf*
Iraqi: čiēf*
*Cognate, not translation
That's normal because North African language Dardja is a form of Tamazight. We have different dialects of Tamazight which has nothing to do with Arabic and we have different dialects of Dardja which is a mix between Tamazight, French, Arabic with our own gramar rules and pronunciation and other vocabulary that might come from neighbouring countries such as Spain or Italy. So, of course Arabs and ARab speakers can't understand North Africans because we have our own languages and people should get over it and be more accepting of each other. Peace
it's a shame that me, a spanish speakers with no acknowledge of arabian hear all arabian accents the same :(
I think it'd help if you listen to more local media. The more universal the media is whether it's a movie, tv show, or video, the more the Arabic will be watered down into "white Arabic", i.e. Arabic that is colloquial but avoids speech that is specific to a country.
It's similar to different Spanish dialects but on a bigger scale, closer to different languages.
I'd recommend listening to folk music from different regions to see the difference:
Yemen San'ani:
Suha Al Masri - Ya Lagi Aldhaye'aa
Maroua Kriaa - Shaeish Ahebak
Levantine:
Nassef Zeytoun - Bi rabbek
Diana Haddad - Ya 3aibo
Amer Zayan - 3a2liyi el charkiyyi
Egyptian:
El Hantour - Saad Alsagher & Nicole Saba
Amr Diab - Youm Talat
Ruby - Leih Beydari Keda
Sudanese:
Nada Algala - Ana Kushia
Aleila bellel
Tunisian:
Waldi Lakhal - Yal Fogra
Zaza show - goulouli winha
Algerian:
Mok Saib - je m'en fous
Rachid Taha - Ya rayah
Moroccan:
Aymane Serhani - Nebghi djini b'survet
Zina Daoudia - Waer waer
تحياتي الى الشعب اليمن 🇾🇪 🥰
My mom is from Yemen and i am trying to learn but it’s been hard for me lately to learn.
My father is yemeni, Do you know any good resources to learn the Sanaani dialect?
@@ortho_boxer7373 memrise it has an entire list of Yemeni vocabulary
Wow the Japanese word for bird is tori 鳥
I wonder if it's a coincidence
Great channel
Jazzaka Allah khayr aljazaa Alfa Alfa Alfa Wa Alfa Wa'lmarat
Thank😉
Assalamualaikum
I love Yemen
where can I learn more about this dialect? More words, grammar, etc.
You can talk with yemeni people, I am happy to help if you want
Sounds like the sound of One Who ate qaat from morning to evening haha.
I found it interesting that the speaker uses the word جهال to mean children, it literally means "the ignorant". Or to say "throw" he says يرجم which I only know as "stoning"
I've realized that I'm more familiar with Yemeni dialect than any other dialect except Hijazi, and Saudi in general. I thought I miss something in my journey in learning Arabic when I can't understand some Arabic dialects like Iraqi or Sham area.
Shukran yazilan, I love languages!
our j is pronounced the same as english j
so it's jazīlan
Any south Semetic influences in this dialect?
Yes, dimmeh meaning cat and eskeh meaning please are both from Amharic.
There are also some influences from modern south Arabian languages as well.
Sabaic and himyar influence aswell I’m Yemeni from the north mountains and when I speak Yemeni to other Arabs non Yemenis they don’t understand much of what I say
@@deda9829 we say hireh for cat 🐈 from my village
Do adeni or hadramounti
Ok im arabic sadly, i moved to Indonesian in the age of 7 years so my vocabulary is a little but, still use it time to time with my mom( i used to speak Arabic with my late father ) now this dialect is waaaaay difrent then i used to but healps me to speack my mother tounge
Sounds similar to najdi dialect
No.
Haya haya
Finally, my ancestral language!!!! ❤👍🏻👌🏼🤲🏻
Bird is to'ri?? In japanese is tori (とり、鳥) 😱
Maybe coincide ??
It's a coincidence the yemeni words comes from Arabic "ta'er" from the Arabic verb "tara" to fly.
@@keydaaq1805 yeah, i was amazed ahahah
@@samishaniyy ah I see. Well, I imagine It has nothing to deal with japanese, but in that case It could seem so XD
It's from "6a'ier"
That little character with the niqab looks so simple and modest yet beautiful
I love the Yemeni people
Hadrami please🥺
I am from the south, we have a difference in pronunciation from the words of Sana'a, from the Abyan governorate, south of Yemen
I love when you guys so Arabic🤩
One of the few languages that its paragraph lines are shorter than english.arabic is such an expressive fusional language with the functional 3 root derivational morphology system which conveys the meaning with less words than the many agglutinative languages that sticks very long morphemes together that creates long words
I agree. There have been times I've come across Arabic words and figured out the meaning via the morphology but without finding a good English translation. It's hard to translate, but very functional like you said.
As for me! I find it hard to understand middle eastern arabic especially iraki dialect and arabian peninsula dialects!
حد عربي هنا
أنا من مصر🙂
Fact : Yemenite is a pure Arab and the land it’s where the origins of the whole arabs came from
@Odaenathus no we are not lmao nice try tho
@Odaenathus sabaean and minaeans are dialects of arabic 🤦♂️
they're arabs themselves to begin with
Ur african not pure arabic
@@user-sm5wj4xt3t who ? The Yemeni ppl ?
@Nabateans
Yemenites are related to Ethiopians just as Levantines, Gulf Arabs, and Iraqis. they only speak Semitic langauge and thats it.
Yemen is the origin of Qahtanite Arabs only, or as we called ourself (Sabaeans). While other branch of Arabs are Adnanites originated from the Levant, both of them are Arabs no one is considered original or any other b.s.
Yemenite Arabs (Qahtanis) are the ones who trace their ancestors in Saba', modern Yemen has 2-3 million African migrants and other big percent of Afro Arabs in costal cities (I assume the guy with the comment is Afro Arab), while the further you go from the coasts the more pure Qahtani Arabs you find. Qahtanis and Adnanites are not very different genetically.
Bro I’m Yemeni and I didn’t understand 😂😂😂😂😂
Very equal to Fusha.
Anyone know English and Yemeni Arabic willing to tutor ! Please lmk
1st
This is hadhrami?
Its my birth languages 🤩🤩🤩💋❤️👍
@@Ash_tommo they are Yemeni
Like d is Icelandic
المستطاع
ههههههههههههه ما اخترتم الا حق طوق صنعاء (اسكه)
Do people find the sounds of this dialect beautiful?
first
Is this a ‘northern’ or ‘southern’ dialect?
southern
It's the northern dialect particularly Sana accent. Not all north Yemenis speak in this accent.
Closer to fusha than the others, Yemen stands as the cradle of Arabia with the pure blooded Arabs. Sending love to Yemen!
0:24 😂
It's not so similar to other arabic languages
Maybe Armaiac influence?
@@GuidetteExpert no, no Aramaic influence maybe a little Hebrew and ge'ez but mostly southern Semitic languages.
Southern semitic languages are not spoken anymore however. Excluding the east african ones.
I understand this way more than Darija
@@myself5812 there are some still spoken in Yemen and Oman like Mehri, Jibbali, and Soqotri
they have taken the š from the slavic languages kek
Its Yemenian
Yeman not Arabs 🇾🇪
