- There are so many different kids of Arabic: Egyptian Arabic, Levantine Arabic, Iraqi Arabic, Gulf Arabic, North African Arabic, Hassaniya Arabic, Najdi Arabic, Yemeni Arabic, the list goes on...
I have decided to gain an understanding of most of the main Arabic dialects.

I study Lebanese dialect. Egyptian and Lebanese are the most popular dialect . Because of the movies and songs. I Brazilian and for Portuguese speaker there is a channel on RUclips "fale arabe" in this channel we can learn Lebanese through transliteration.
Você pode informar quais dialetos árabes são usados pelo google tradutor e microsoft translator respectivamente?
DorothyJordan no Google automaticamente vai ser o arabe standard, pode ser que ja tenha outros dialetos mas o standard arabe é o que da os melhores resultados no tradutor pois é padrão, ja os dialetos não são. Abraço de Portugal
@@dorothyjordan4355 My advice to anyone who wants to start learning an Arabic dialect, do not waste your time learning the Levantine dialects, as they are soft dialects that ignore most of the letters and have tones, but the Saudi dialect is an understandable dialect, and all letters are pronounced in it
Steve, you are an inspiration still learning languages in your seventies. I'm 28 and speaking about 5 languages. One day I'll catch up with you! :)
@Mark Anthony Portuguese, English, Italian, LIBRAS (Brazilian signal language) and now I'm starting to learn French. I also have some knowledge of Spanish, but I still don't consider it a language I can speak. Salut

I love the Gulf dialect.
It's very interesting!!!
Steve. Thank you for this video and this very important question. I have had this conversation with Arabic scholars for years now. I have argued with them continuously. There is no reason for anyone to learn/acquire MSA, except for devotional reasons, that is, to read and understand the Quran. I am upset because universities around the world are teaching only MSA. When I asked, I was told I should "learn MSA first and then then learn whatever Arabic you want later, after you've mastered MSA."
I find the notion ridiculous. Imagine me telling my Spanish students to learn Latin first and then learn Spanish after they have mastered Latin?! I have met many students who have studied Arabic at the university level, and then did study abroad, to Jordan. They all told me that learning MSA was a waste of time.
The idea of having a Modern Standard Arabic to me seems strange to say the least. Imagine all of the Romance-language-speaking countries adopting a Modern Standard Latin, all of Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, etc, all speaking the same language on the news, in the newspaper, in the government, in church, and in textbooks. It would be ridiculous. Then, imagine a student wanted to learn Spanish and at universities around the world they didn't teach Spanish but Modern Standard Latin?
Arabic needs to be taught in two different classes: Devotional Arabic and Spoken Arabic. Those who want to read and understand the Quran can take the former.
Completely disagree. Whatever content I am able to find online, podcasts, newspaper articles, political panel discussions, even Arabic subtitles for Egyptian movies is in MSA. Is that the case with Spanish or Italian. I was able to communicate in MSA with taxi drivers in Morocco. so, no don't agree.
@@Thelinguist You're someone who is traveling alone. Of course everybody will respond to you in MSA. What about the student who goes and lives in Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, etc? Do you think their family is automatically going to switch to MSA when they speak? No. They are going to speak their local dialect. The student is going to be totally lost unless the conversation is only about them. Communication cannot always be one sided (Like your speaking to a Taxi driver). There are no podcasts in Latin because nobody (except the church) speaks Latin.
obviously if you are going to live in Jordan Lebanon Egypt etc. you learn the local variant of the language. If you have MSA, that is not difficult to do. So according to you, which variant of Arabic should be taught in universities, since the students may end up going to Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia or Iraq?
By the way, Turkey?
@@Thelinguist Good point. That's the million dollar question. If we offer Arabic at our university I would opt for Egyptian Arabic since most of the movies made are Egyptian and therefore most of the Arabic speaking world understands Egyptian Arabic. It would be sold as a conversational Arabic course.
I can't think of any other language in the world that is such like this. If these were primarily Christian countries or Buddhist countries, I don't think a "Modern Standard" language would exist. Why isn't there a modern standard Chinese? There are hundreds if not thousands of dialects of Chinese.
I want to learn Gulf Arabic
go MSA. And in case you insist on dialects I recommend Levantine.
Hi, if I already speak French (many people speak French in levatine area), will the egyptian dialect be a better investment for my particular case ? I know egyptian and levatine are two most understood dialect.
@@samc7734 Hm.. Well. I would recommend levantine cause like in countries like Lebanon people speak sentences putting some french or english with the levantine arabic. AKA in one sentence lebanese people (and maybe others but idk) they say : Hi Kifak ca va?
Hi how are you?
Kifak is the same as ca va so you can always say Hi ca va? Or Hi kifak?
@@samc7734 Many sentences in lebanese and I think levantine too is influenced by many languages and are putted in the same sentence then english and french.
As a person that had his first language be french. I found learning Levantine arabic to be kinda easy (As easy as it can be when you have to speak a language that doesnt even use the same letters).
@@samc7734 egyptian arabic is more important 99% of arabic movies are egyptian and 70% of arabic songs are egyptian , Egypt control the arabic tv series industry.. most famous Lebanese and syrian singers sing in egyptian dialect + population of Egypt is 100 millions vs 4 millions Lebanese and in politics Egypt is stronger than Lebanon in the region
What you are doing is right. Good luck!
Iraqi is the only Arabic that spells all the Alphabet properly, the spelling is closer to Fus-ha or the formal Arabic. That’s why they are more liked when telling the news or do voice overs. We also have many different languages in Iraq, Assyrian/Kurdish and many more, my first language is Neo-Aramaic. Good luck 🌹
Wow I have a lot of Iraqi friends they spell ق like ك. It’s not the only nor it’s correct even. If you look at the Hijazis or the Yemeni. It’s way closer to the Fus-ha even though it’s still slightly different but it’s closer.
Every arab country claims to be close to Fus-ha but none of them are. The best thing to do is not worry about Fus-ha. Go with the dialect that is the easiest. If you're French, go with Morrocan or Algerian. If you're Japanese, go with Levantine Dialect. If you're Turkish or Kurdish, go with Gulf Dialect (Iraqi to be specific). If you're American or speak any of the Romance languages, go with Egyptian or Lebanese bc they're softer & more fluid.
@Davit M Sure
Btw What Arabic dialect does Kurdish Syrian speak?😖💀
Pls answer me
@@Itzmetho22 Syrians speak the Syrian dialect
At the end of the video, the situation is typical: The person doesn't want to reply in MSA. She prefers to speak english. If you speak to people in the arabic world in standard arabic, they'll understand but they'll always reply either in their own respective dialect or in english. Almost never in standard arabic
I didn't find that. Spoke MSA to taxi drivers, and others, even though French or even Spanish in Chefchouen was easier for us.
Egyptian Arabic is the dialect I chose because they have a bustling film & music industry, most resources and can be understood by all native speakers. My challenge has been understanding the speaker of other dialects because Egyptian is very different. I’ve enjoyed working on the Egyptian resources available at lingQ. Good news on the Lingualism bit, I use shwayya an nafsi which is good.
Stay tuned
Everyone will understand you but that doesn’t mean you’ll understand them
You have put yourself in an embarrassing situation, because you have learned a dialect spoken by Egyptians only, and the rest do not take it seriously, even though you do not live in Egypt, so it is better for you to learn the classical language, as it is the language of the Holy Qur’an. If you can't understand the root, you won't understand the branch
@@Lovelyme-s5k Modern standard Arabic is more than enough if you need to speak with Arabs from different countries
@@Hellesssss I know Arabic 100 ٪
I thought the video would answer the question lol
Egyptian Arabic is very different from formal Arabic in just about everything, but funny enough, it's understood by almost everyone because Egypt has a media hegemony on the Arab world, from movies, TV shows, and music. Even Disney classic films are dubbed in Egyptian Arabic (which is unique considering all other cartoons and Anime are dubbed in formal Arabic). Egypt also has a hegemony on formal Arabic through its novel publications.
This hegemony is beginning to wane though, shifting more towards Saudi Arabia.
Saudi dialects, especially the urban neutral ones are the closest to formal Arabic; its speakers also sprinkle formal Arabic phrases here and there in conversation, especially the more serious and argumentative types of conversations.
I was thinking the same. Since i have been studying Arabic for a while now and I am finally fluent in MSA and Levantine Arabic, what dialect do you think is good for careers in business and finance?
I am excited for this new update! I am learning Arabic too and would like to focus on Egyptian dialect.
Do you speak Spanish by any chance? I can help you with Egyptian if you want
Mark Anthony oh sorry I was asking the person who wrote the comment, and I want to learn Spanish first then maybe try and do French
Clemencia Karima I should maybe tag you next time sorry about that one, but again I really really want to find someone who speaks Spanish that can help me out I want to become fluent so bad
tito ghoneim English is actually my native language! I speak Spanish as a second language.
Clemencia Karima so you’re fluent in Spanish? If you are we can help each other out it’s literally a dream of mine to become fluent in Spanish, I already know a lot but I want to become fluent. And Arabic is my native language and English is my second

@@Thelinguist Hi Steve is there any way to contact you? I know a few languages I'd like to talk to you about it
I know I'm a bit late but I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me. I have a little dilemma. 7 months ago my mother gave birth to my sister who is half Arabic (my stepfather is Tunisian). I would love to learn her second native language so I can communicate with her and her family in Tunis. I am 18 and Croatian which is also my mother tongue, I also speak British English and some Italian (I know some words in French as well and can understand it when I read French comments for instance). My mother and stepfather communicate mostly in English but use Croatian as well (he can mostly understand it but prefers English) and they use some Arabic and French words because of the Tunisian dialect. Now, my dilemma is that I do not know should I learn MSA or his dialect because one day I would love to travel the Middle East and communicate with others ( Egyptians in particular ). Any suggestions?? Please help!
If you don't know which dialect to learn, you could start with MSA if you intend to also learn to read. Otherwise go for Egyptian since there are so many movies in that language.
@@Thelinguist 🙏thank you!
I’m a native Arabic Egyptian speaker, if anyone wants to learn Egyptian I can help, also I’m looking for someone who can speak Spanish that can help me improve
tito ghoneim ok so I’m trying to learn Egyptian Arabic as well as Spanish 😆😆
I'm a Spanish native speaker I speak English as well, and l'd like to learn Egyptian Arabic.

nice one! thanks for sharing! best to go for egyptians for the film industry i think, levant or iraq if you like the music.
Actually egyptian songs dominant arabic music..most famous Lebanese singers sing egyptian songs
If I was interested in learning Arabic, I think I would learn whatever dialect they use on Al Jazeera since that has the best chance of becoming the standard.
which one is it?
@@agnieszkajanicka8883 I am pretty sure it is Modern Standard Arabic, the written standard. Not a true spoken language anywhere.
Al Jazeera uses MSA. You won't hear anyone speak that language unless it's a very formal discussion, lecture, etc. Most Arabs cannot even speak it properly btw. Only those who have received quite a high degree of education.
Well I have lived among Arabs for quite some time and I can tell you they understand each other pretty well across different dialects. It's just that talking in Standard Arabic is kind of funny if you are having a casual conversation. Besides they need at least some degree of Arabic education to be familiar with Standard Arabic (AKA Fos'ha). So you can't communicate if the person has just learnt Arabic as a kid.
Do you think it's better to learn Egyptian Arabic? People from others Arabic countries can Understand?
@@alexfg2178 In fact Egyptian Arabic is very far from the Arabic spoken in the Middle East. Egyptians have a very unique accent and dialect that is used almost only in Egypt. I personally recommend Syrian Arabic. It is close to the Arabic spoken in many of the neighbouring countries, like Palestine, Lebanon and even to a degree in Iraq. Still different from Gulf but closer than Egyptian. In the end, if you are planning to travel or live in a specific country I recommend learning their dialect. Other than that consider the sound of that dialect; listen to them and see which one is more pleasing to your ears. For me it's Syrian and Lebanese ;)
P.S. Mediterranean is the broader term used for the Middle Eastern dialects.
@@miladmirmoghtadaei5038 I from France and I have more chance in my country to be able to speak with people from Algeria or Marocco but I can't find any good method in those dialects. I have some books in Standard Arabic and the apps are always in Standard Arabic or Egyptian. What do you think I can do? Thank you so much.
@@alexfg2178 Yeah there are like tons of resources for Egyptian Arabic. On the Easy Arabic RUclips channel you may find some in other dialects, though most are in Egyptian, but I remember Pimsleur had both Egyptian and Mediterranean. There is also an old handbook + audio full of conversations from the Syrian ministry of defense if you can get your hands on.
I can look it up in my archive and email it to you if you leave me your address in private.

Hi, if I already speak French (many people speak French in levatine area), will the egyptian dialect be a better investment for my particular case ? I know egyptian and levatine are two most understood dialect.
Depends on your needs, interests and opportunities,
I'm Algerian and I can tell you that these so-called "Arabic dialects" are in fact separate and distinct languages. Many people think that the "Arab" countries were all speaking standard Arabic than somehow this language has just disappeared and simply many dialects just came out of it which is completely Wrong!!!!
Before Islam, Arabs were only people living in the Arabian peninsula and their language was Arabic, while the rest of the nowdays "Arab world" was non-arab. North Africans were Berbers, Egyptians were Copts, middle easterns were Assyrians, the Sudanese were Nubians... Etc. And all of them had their own languages.
After the Arab invasion to north Africa and middle east, the local languages got influenced by Arabic and loaned tons of words from it. The same thing happened to them during the European colonization, especially in north Africa where people mix Arab with French spontaneously.
Furthermore, people of the "Arab world" can't understand each other and 99% of them have a pre-intermediate level in MSA and can't even hold a simple conversation in Arabic without making tons of mistakes or switching to their "dialects".
How on earth can somone pretend to be a native in a language that they can barely speak??
Interesting but doesn't dissuade me from my path.
@@Thelinguist
I'm not telling this to discourage you or dissuade other learners. My aim was only to give some enlightenment about this topic as I'm living in this area.
Anyway, good luck for all of you.
Interesting piece of information. Would you say the arab "languages" form a dialect continuum similar to the romance one? Like for instance spanish and portuguese speakers can somewhat understand each other and have a basic conversation, but the further you get they become mutually unintelligible like romanian.
@@Rogerfsps
I think they should be considered exactly like the romance, the slavic or the germanic languages. For example, in Malta they speak Maltese and in Tunisia they speak the "Tunisian Arabic dialect" while in actual fact both countries have the same language. So why the Maltese is a language and the Tunisian is a dialect?? Why the Maltese people are not Arabs?
Because an Arab country doesn't necessarily mean that the people are Arabs or they speak Arabic. An Arab country means that the X country is a member in the Arab league, so the official language would be automatically Arabic and the spoken one is just a dialect. If we take Somalia as an example we will find that Somalia is an Arab country and its official language is Arabic but actually the Somalis are black Africans and they don't even speak Arabic but Somalian. Same thing for Comoros and Djibouti.
thunder sound only the maghreb countries are hard to understand like morroco and Algeria and Tunisia so almost nobody learns these dialects im from the Netherlands and i learn the Egyptian Dialect because it has the best shows and Music and Movies and im quite good at it
Is MSA pronunciation the same as with Egyptian but Egyptian uses completely different words? What I'm after here is, can I use phonological training for MSA and apply it to Egyptian but with different vocabulary? What are the key differences between the two?
At first it seems very different, like I felt I couldn't understand anything. But within a few hours or listening and reading it starts to seem familiar, Arabic, as is the case with Levantine. Essentially similar sounds, the same writing system although some sounds have shifted, and some different vocabulary. I see them all as one family, but that is just me. Try them out at LingQ.
@@Thelinguist More like an Italian dialect rather than standard Italian then, but not so different as between Italian and dialects vs Sicilian which is related but really a more distinct language unto itself.
My experience when I started learning MSA and then tried to understand and speak Algerian Arabic, was that the pronunciation was very similar. The vocabulary was different, but I didn't mind that because the words were either still recognizable, or they replaced Arabic words with French words. What threw me off completely though, was that the grammar didn't seem to be the same at all. I'm sure that in reality there are more similarities between the grammar of MSA and that of Algerian Arabic that I was able to realize back then, but I was barely at a A2 level, so it felt like I had nothing to hang on to and I deducted that MSA was perfectly useless for me at the time.
@@elisabethrichard I'm not big on studying grammar early on anyway. There are perfectly competent speakers of many languages who couldn't tell you a verb from a noun but just know when "something doesn't sound right." If I can reach that level of proficiency I'd be fine with that. I don't need every grammar rule as some testing requires, I'm learning for my own purposes not for some exam.
@@verisimilitudeteller I don't study grammar either. I meant that the basic rules of the language seemed completely different, at least from a relative beginner's point of view. Things like the way conjugations or negations work, the placement of pronouns and whatnot. I don't know what is effectively different, all I know is I could recognize isolated words, but full sentences were unrecognizable, if that makes any sense.
You will never see this but I have the ability to learn a language but I loose motivation after a week (I’ve tried so hard not to) and I have such a hard time with memorization. I’ve tried so much help please
you need to find a language you are naturally passionate about. dont just choose a random one that a lot of people speak. choose one you are passionate about. if you dont feel a connection with that language, you will inevitably feel unmotivated after a week

And also which arabic is used in the quran is it the root of all arabic dilects? If not then which dilect has emerged from the quran arabic or classical arabic?
The Arabic language used in the Holy Qur’an is Standard Arabic, but it is not Modern Standard Arabic, but rather the language of the Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. Even the Arabs themselves use the dictionary to understand the meanings of some words, but Modern Standard Arabic is a language that has been facilitated

Modern standard Arabic is the language our politicians use in parliaments, political meetings, that scientists and professors use in conferences, the language we use at school and university, the language our king uses to address us. As well as, TV/radios/newspapers/and prayers etc.

No, teachers as well as students in schools speak to each other in the colloquial dialect, but when we read a written text in the textbook, we read it in fusha, so we switch between them in school
Steve, Quranic Arabic it is Actually the Nabatean language, of course the name of the language came after the region instead of the ethinic group.
The interesting thing about Arabic is no native speaker speaks the modern standard Arabic, it's all different dialects each breaking rules and pronunciations. Maybe the closest to pure Arabic is the one spoken by some bedouin.

I've been meaning to get back to Algerian Arabic for years now. I used to be able to make progress when I would travel to Algeria on a regular basis, but now that I don't go there anymore, I'm stuck. There are no written ressources on Algerian Arabic that I know of. The irony is, my son speaks it relatively well, but he's 12, and he doesn't know how to switch a specific language on and off, which makes him completely unable to speak it with me other than in jest :D
Algerian dialect is a mix of arabic berber and french

I looking to increase our content at LingQ in conversational Arabic. One idea would be for you to talk about yourself, and talk to your friends, and have your friends talk about themselves, either in Standard Arabic or in Syrian Arabic, or both. This should be about your lives, your hopes, your everyday experiences. Each episode would be around 5 minutes long and would have to be transcribed afterwards, not written first. We could call this "The Syrians". It would enable people who are interested in Arabic, and interested in Syria to get a sense of the people and their language. Is this a practical idea?
@@Thelinguist sounds lovely. I'm actually working on something similar. I'll take a look at LingQ, then.
by the way, this seems like something that might interest you: instagram.com/levantine_arabic/
Even iside Egypt, they don't speak the same Arabic, but, everyone of them can understand you if you will ask something in Standard Arabic and they will answer you in Standard Arabic.
Therefore, when you want to read in Arabic, you'll find a bunch of stuff in MSA. I recomende that you combine listening to MSA with Egyptian or Syrian Arabic.

Hello, Steve,
I think that the best Arabic dialect one should learn is one spoken in the Gulf states, because they are genuine Arabs, while all other countries tagged as Arabs in fact aren't, they're from other races and their dialects are more or less distorted by comparison.
