    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.

      @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.

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.

      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.

      @dadokh790 5 лет назад +6

      @@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.

      @dadokh790 5 лет назад +2

      @@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.

      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"

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.

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.

      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.

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.

    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.

      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.

    What a wonderful way to help humanity see our commonalities. Enhorabuena! Btw, indigo originates from Indian, where the word for it is Neela

    I watch your videos regularly, and it's great that we're reminded how one language is related to another. Though I wish the participants are given more freedom to say their answers. I would not go as far as spoonfeeding them. Informative videos anyway :)

      Thank you. Ok, I'll try not to do that as much, but if I do it, it's at the request of the participants before we start the video, or I am going with what our followers ask on Instagram (one of the requests being for me to give hints and advice if people are stuck)
