    One theory on the use of Aramaic by the Nabataeans is that it was due to the ruling classes enforcing it with it being a lingua franca in the Levant at the time. Great interview, always fascinating to hear Dr Ahmad al-Jallad. Than you!

    Not an expert, but I remember 40 or 50 years ago, a Tunisian historian on TV say that a few ancient clasical poets praised certain poets before them who had no surviving poetry, putting a poetic way of dateing classical Arabic because their poetry was before classical Arabic was formalized.

    I agree that referring to the "Afro-Asian language family" as Semitic is incorrect and should be discontinued, even though the term has been in use for decades. The Bible is not a reliable source in any shape or form and is fundamentally flawed in this context.
    Much of history and archaeology has been written by Western scholars who relied on the Bible as the most authentic historical source, thereby distorting significant parts of history to fit a Euro-Christian-centric worldview (with some notable exceptions).
    I hope that a new generation of scholars from across the globe, particularly from the descendants of great ancient cultures, will rewrite history as accurately as possible and correct the significant damage caused by Euro-Christian biases. The best approach is not through direct confrontation but by providing clear, scientific corrections, even with all the challenges this entails.

    Thanks to Dr. Jallad for his researches on Arabic and to this channel for its contents.
    Question to Dr. Jallad:
    1500 years is NOT sufficient for a language to reach the complexity and sophistication of Arabic as it reached us in the form of poetry from the pre-Islamic era.
    The presence or absence of records does not form a solid basis for the conclusion on the age of Arabic.
    Do you think Arabic's complexity and sophistication evolved within the fragmented tribal societies in the Arabian peninsula? Is that even possible within the relatively short period of time and the isolated and fragmented tribal societies in Arabia?

    Thinking about languages ​​in the West is influenced by Aristotle and Darwin. Languages ​​should not be thought of in an Aristotelian hierarchical way, as if languages ​​were lineages, nor in the way of Darwin and biological evolution, as if languages were biological organisms evolving. All of these methods fall under a confirmation bias by forming assumptions in the mind and then project them on the reality of a language and its history.
    The closest statement to the truth, I believe, when following the facts is to say the emergence of the Arabic language occurred through a long process we call “spontaneous selection and election” for centuries from multiple Semitic dialects, from dialects of the north in the Levant and mesopotamia to the ones in the south in Yemen, Oman and Ethiopia. This process reached to a rich stage when Mecca became the mother of villages when it started to celebrate polytheistic pan-Arab festivals that brought together the Arabs from all areas, especially the Ukaz Festival, which played a role in the standardization of the Arabic poetic forms. In those festivals, the Arabs competed to win the title of the most poetic man of the Arabs. Our evidence for this is that the Arabic language is the richest of the Semitic languages ​​in verb morphological forms, and it has characteristics that it shares with the Mesopotamian and Levantine dialects that we do not find in the southern dialects, such as: Dt stem, and other characteristics that it shares with the Yemeni and Ethiopian dialects, such as: L-Stem that we do not find in the Mesopotamian and Levantine languages. It is clear that the Arabic language combined the characteristics of the northern and southern dialects, and it cannot be said that it descended from one of them because we find characteristics and features that unite these dialects, nor that it evolved from a language because we find evidence to the contrary, so all that remains is to say that the Arabic language was a product of long term selection and election, and the major factors which played a role in this process are: The movement and migration of Bedouins, trade of Hijazis between the north and the south, holding Pan-Arab festivals that bring together all Arabs and their different dialects and making the Hijazi dialect the standard for the richness of the interaction of its merchants and Bedouins with the north and the south, and the Arabic language was completed with the revelation of the Qur’an.

      @@ApostateAIaddin we know this from scattered Arabic sources in many works (not necessarily the work of Ibn al-Kalbi in the Book of Idols), and from cultural studies of the Arabs in terms of language, poetry types, and oral heritage (this is a blind spot that al-Jallad and other researchers do not take into account), for example: considering the genre of poetry of Muhawarah "dialog" today among the Arabs in the Hijaz, which is considered improvised competitive poetry between tribes performed in certain celebrations, it is clear that its origins go back to the Ukaz festival in which poetry competitions were held and poets from different villages or tribes won annually (compare this competitive festivals in the ancient festivals of Egypt, the Levant, and Greece such as Olympia and others in which competitive poetry festivals were held). An example of competitive poetry of Mohawarah in Hijaz today:
      ruclips.net/video/r2wG1hj1B-g/видео.htmlsi=vtE10nz2hDpvaNzw
      An example of competitive poetry of dialogue in Palestine:
      ruclips.net/video/il12YrrguuA/видео.htmlsi=9MhacOVobGTPBh9g
      On the other hand, its well known and documented in Arab sources that Arabic language standardized in that period, but not well researched, there were many festivals across the Arabian peninsula, but the ones around Mecca were special because they were not local festivals like the others but Pan-Arab festivals, meaning all Arabs must came to them because they were held in the months of peace between them, some of those Pan-Arab festivals are:
      -Mojnah
      -'ukaz
      -du almajaz
      - Meccah
      Now imagine that Arabs who came with their different dialects to those Pan-Arab major festivals, the interaction and poetry standardized their different dialects to one over time. Thats why I think Arabic became the richest sematic language in terms of roots, morphology, and characteristics of south and north sematic languages.
      Edit: we know also those festivals occurred because the prophet Muhammad used to attend them to call Arabs to Islam, read the sirah you will know the festival names, after Islam prevail, it put an end to those polytheic festivals.

      Applying the same method I think all dialects outside of the dialects of the heartland of the Arabian peninsula can be classified as such, usage of "HoWeh" for the word Him in the Lebanese dialect also exists in a lot of other Levantine dialects, additionally in northern Syria many dialects use "KoWahh" for the word There which I don't think descends from Arabic, Yemeni dialects certainly have features from South Arabian, Egyptian likely has some Coptic features and Maghreb dialects most certainly have a lot of Tamazight features
      Personally, I don't think having such minor external features warrants such drastic rearrangement of the Semitic languages tree

      All Arabic dialects. He just used Beiruti Lebanese as an example, and later mentioned the dialects of Souther Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman as other examples of languages that are further distant than Standard Arabic. The point is, Standard Arabic itself is a variety of Arabic, one that wasn't spoken in day to day life, and it descends from an older Arabic variety, the same way as Arabic dialects.

Despite the spread of slang colloquial the classical language is preserved in MSA.

    Etymology of semitic languages, this is what I'm investigating on. Arabic has a particularity front aramaic and hebrew, the abjad : the hebrew ז is ذ or ز ; the ט is ظ or ط ; the א is ء or ى ; the ' is ء or ي ; the ח is خ or ح ; the צ is ض or ص ; the ע is ع or غ ; the ס is س and the ש is also س or ش (hebrew grammar anomalie). Thus, the arabic is the refined semitic language, because each arabic letter carries a meaning, example ع means Seen Percieve and غ unseen, covered. We see opposite meaning, so we can't confuse عرب and غرب while hebrew carries both meaning in ערב (night and arab).

      He's not out to prove or disprove anything. That's just your religious sensitivities making you interpret him in an overly defensive manner. The main focus of his research, Safaitic, doesn't even have much to do with Islam as those inscriptions are centuries before. In regards to the Paleoarabic inscriptions, the only thing they challenge would be books like Ibn al kalbi's Book of Idols, and any other aspects of the tradition that paint Muhammad's immediate environment as primarily polytheistic. Based on the epigraphic evidence, it seems the way were largely monotheistic already, or at least some flavor of. But I agree with you, and so would Al-Jallad, that this is consistent with the Quran. Orientalist scholars had already long pointed out that the immediate audience had to already be familiar with biblical stories, so it makes perfect sense they were already followed a variety of judeo-christian monotheism.
      I don't know why you think Al-Jallad gets off on overturning islamic tradition. After all, do you know any Muslim whose faith rides on the veracity of ibn al kalbi's Book of Idols? I sure don't. So it's irrelevant. If he was trying to be controversial and edgy, then he'd try to overturn the Quran right?

      1. As far as I know, Aramaic & Arabic are not genetically that close for this to be the case. Also, the oddity he's referring to is the complex & asymmetrical negation system that is demonstrably absent in other Semitic languages.
      As for 2 & 3, here are some quotes from Al-Jallad's "A Manual of the Historical Grammar of Arabic":
      2. "One of the common linguistic features uniting the Old Arabic sources is the absence of nunation, tanwīn. This feature, so characteristic of Classical Arabic, is attested first in the corpus of rhymed and metered poems attributed to the pre-Islamic period by Muslim scholars. Tanwīn is an ancient feature (see 2.3.1), cognate with mimation in Akkadian and Ancient South Arabian, although its realization with a n seems to be unique to Arabic."
      3. "In most modern Arabic vernaculars, case and nunation have disappeared entirely, save for loans from Classical Arabic or other dialects. These languages, nevertheless, appear to descend from a system like the QCT, where only the accusative case of the indefinite declension survived in singular/broken plural nouns."

      What on earth is that even supposed to mean?
      Linguistics is a broad field of study with many subfields studying different aspects of the structure, usage, social features, cognitive interfaces etc. of language, and one of those subfields studies the changes and development of languages, and language in general over time. And historical linguistics is actually the source out of which modern linguistics developed because comparing related languages and reconstructing their common ancestor and the ways each changed away from that original laid the foundation for understanding how the core structure of languages works, and these discoveries were the basis that all of modern linguistics is built on.

    Arabic is a relatively new language. Allah chose an illiterate Arab who couldn’t differentiate between spoken Arabic and the written Aramaic script. The rest of the world will wait centuries before classical written Arabic begin to morph. To this day the Quran holds many Aramaic words still written in their original Aramaic form like Salot, صلوت Zakot, زكوت Haywat حيوة etc… instead of Salat, Zakat, Hayat.

    The Nabataens are probably nomads from Southern Arabia (likely Qahtani Arabs) who migrated North and settled. They became literate through interaction with civilizations in the Levant and adopted the Aramaic Alphabet for their language which became the foundation for later Arabic and probably spread from there to the Hijaz

    I hear a pathetic orientalist deformation of history ( as I did many times before from Jallad and his western dictators). First, the term " Semitic" is not a historical term nor is it founded in any objective scientific research. It is rather a biblical genealogy term that has nothing to do with the reality and progress of languages and people in Arabia and the fertile crescent. This fallacious genealogy of peoples and their languages defies the effective real history of people and their languages in the region. It purports a high patriarch "Shem" ( Sam) that encompasses all the peoples of the region with a shared photo-language as such. The reality of historical and linguistic record show two main streak of ancient languages in the region distinct in their number of alphabets, phonetic sounds and script. The more ancient one ( from the second millennium BCE) is made of 29 characters and it written in two forms of script' cuneiform in Mesopotamia and Ugarit and early Canaani andThamoudic Musnad scrpit, The second and latter one is made of 24 letters only and emerged at earliest in first millennium BCE which is Aramaic written in cuneiform in Mesopotamia and Canaani adapted script termed by historians as Aramaic. Classical Arabic shares all features and characteristics of the older linguistic lines discussed above. It retained the same 29 characters and was written in the Mussnad ( Thamoudic scrpit). All ancient Yemeni ( so called languages by orientalist historians) are intelligible to classical Arabic hold many similar characteristics with it and more importantly have identical root and derivation morphs. The orientalist fallacious tradition ( that Jallad ascribes to as we was so dictated) holds that Arabic as a linguistic phenomenon appeared in the first Millennium BCE depicted in Aramaic derived script and holds that all Thamoudic script ( and all related other inscriptions as Safaitic) are different languages than Arabic based on nonsense arguments that only shows lack of adequate knowledge in Arabic. So any cognates in Thamoudic / Safaitic / Saba'ic that are not used in current Arabic are termed to be different cognates although well documented in classical Arabic ( weather in ancient pre - Islamic poetry or in classical old Arabic dictionaries i.e Lassan Al-Arab or Moujam Al-A'yn). The same applies to grammatical rules were it seems that his alien and shallow knowledge of simplified Arabic ( grammar for elementary students) rules his ( and his orientalist ignorant tutors ) determination of Arabic grammar. Hence, they declared that these Thamoudic texts are not Arabic and they base Arabic on Aramaic instead. when someone who's name is Julian or Simon etc. makes this flagrant error one would say that their detachment of Arabic and their merger knowledge thereof my explain ( not excuse ) the mistake . But here we have ignorance and distortion impregnating an Arab immigrant to US Salt Lake city who allows his lack of knowledge to input his depiction of his ancestral language. What a shame, go study real Arabic as genuine real Arab scholar would, and then read ancient Ugaritic and Thamoudic texts anew and you will discover that you were fed a load of biblical nonsense and that Arabic your " ethnic" mother tongue did you no harm so stop doing it harm.

      1. Linguists do not group Semitic languages together because of a story about a biblical patriarch, they group them together because they share a set of features that all other languages lack, suggesting a common origin.
      2. Languages are distinct from scripts. Scripts do not always perfectly represent the sounds of a language. Varieties of Arabic were written in both script families you mention, in different places at different times. But it was the Nabatean *script*, derived from Aramaic *script*, that ultimately became what people now know as Arabic *script*. It did not have enough letters to distinguish all of the Arabic consonants so it was eventually adapted mainly by adding dots. Al-Jallad never said that Arabic was not written in the other scripts. He even talks about such inscriptions and recites some from memory in this very video. So I'm not sure where you even got the idea that he thinks Arabic is "based on Aramaic". The SCRIPT is based on Aramaic. The language is a different story, which you'll only ever figure out if you pay better attention.

      Not sure why you specifically singled out Hebrew, even though in all Semitic languages Gimel is pronounced with a hard-G sound. Nonetheless, if the Arabic Jeem existed in the language Arabic descended from (I assume you take this to be non-controversial), then how do you explain its absence from other languages? Unless, of course, you assume that the inscription he's vocalizing & which is dated more than almost 2000 years before the Quran should be pronounced the same way!

      @@tabushanan I use Hebrew because I know the depiction and its sickness very well. All western frenzy with ancient Middle eastern languages was and still is infested with Biblical attitudes and methodologies. Up until the late seventies of the past century Hebrew was forced as a model language to gauge and study ancient languages stemming from a belief ( assumption) that according to Bible it is the oldest. Although this idiocy is now being masked, yet the entire flawed epistemology persists under the banner of Aramaec precedence. The letter ج and its pronunciation as Jeem needs as in any other language to be attested in its own to establish it self if I am addressing a geniun linguist. The question is and should have been to any objective scientific enquiry is whether this particular character Jeem was unequivocally attested in Arabic phonetic logs?? and it was in all Arab linguists and philologists cataloging the traits of Arabic in 2nd Hijra . If you have an argument that contradicts what Arab learned scholars have stated and illustrated as the standard spelling of a character and against continued classical Arabic spelling ( not colloquial) stemming from the same language lets hear it. Yet you do not have such an argument so we will continue to hear ignorance uttered by people masquerading in pseudo knowledge guise.
