Even in the Middle East , Iran is different from Arab countries like Saudi Arabia or Egypt , many think it is the same culture , but Iran 🇮🇷 is Persian , the language is different from anything i've ever heard
Yup, Farsi comes under a completely different language family than Arabic. There's a lot more in common between Farsi and the languages of India than between Farsi and Arabic, even though there are lot of Arabic loan words in Indo-Iranian languages.
Farsi is a total different language, no idea how it belongs here.
When they say that Iran is an Arab country, it is like saying that Turkey is an Arab country, because Turkey is also located in the Middle East, but they do not speak Arabic. Iran has an Arab province and different ethnic groups, but the majority speak Persian
@@living_peace so speaking Arabic make people Arab? like, Egypt left Egyptian and officially spoke Arabic at the late 17th century, some say that happened by force
Fersi is Aryan but Arabic is Semitic that's all, at the time of Calipatis the great Ariana was under their rule and become 50% Arab genetically and linguistically also culturally
I'm from Tehran and I understood less than 5% of all the Arabic words I heard in this video. I think Farzan did really well in school unlike me 😂

You should compare Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan accents as they all speak Persian. Persian and Arabic are from different language families.
Yes, but all Indo-Iranian languages should be compared, such as the languages of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and India
Also, Kurdish
They don’t all speak Persian, Persian isn’t the language, it’s Farsi which they all speak a dialect of. Iranians speak Persian Farsi whereas Afghans speak Dari Farsi and people of Tajikistan speak Tajik. They are very different in accent and it would be cool to see a video if they can understand each other.
@@XsarahX1 oh I'm from Afghanistan. I grew up in Balkh in neighborhood of Tajikistan. I understand some Iranian accents and all TAJIKs and Afghanistan's Persian speakers accents. Afghanistan has different accents from region to region as well as Iran does.
@@shukriarahimi4161 Very interesting. How well can Afghans understand Arabic? I already know that Arabic and Dari Farsi are different.

Farsi is the language of poetry
*TOP TEN FACTS ABOUT PERSIA* • Persian is an ancient language that has been spoken for almost 3500 years. This makes it one of the *classical languages of antiquity* with unique poetry that still exist today. It has contributed numerous words to the vocabulary of the English language, like "paradise," "pyjama", "rice," "amazon," "rose," "saffron," "asparagus," "spinach," "shawl," and "pistachio." • Persian is a member of the *Indo-European language family.* It shares fundamental characteristics in terms of both grammar and vocabulary with its relatives like Latin, English, French, and Russian. Words like "baradar" for brother, "madar" for mother, "pedar" for padre in Spanish (father), "dokhtar" for daughter, "to" for tu in French (you), "andar" for inter, "do" for dos in Spanish (two), "zamin" for zemĕ in Croatian and zdmyla in Russian (earth), and even "shahr" for "skaan" in Old Norse (city), show the strong and old ties of this language family. This similarity in language is due to the *Yamnaya culture,* which is believed to be the precursor to the *Proto-Indo-European expansion* that originated from the steppes of Central Asia where Iranian peoples come from. This suggests that the customs and practices of Indo-European peoples across both Europe and Asia are rooted in the Yamnaya culture. • Iran possesses a versatile array of natural attractions. This includes *grandiose mountains, verdant forests, panoramic landscapes, sunny coastlines, and abundant natural resources,* like minerals and metals. It is known for producing an abundance of pistachios, pomegranates, berries, saffron, and turquoise. The Persian turquoise boasts unique shades of blue that sets it apart from other varieties. The Iranian Caspian Horse belongs to the first domesticated equine species. Iranians have a *long history of horsemanship and equestrian sports.* Persian games like Chowgan date back to ancient times. Iran is known as the birthplace of horse riding and the earliest practitioners of this art have been Iranian peoples. The influence of Persian horsemanship can be seen in many modern equestrian sports like Polo, which has gained worldwide popularity. • Persians were trailblazers in wearing *trousers and footwear.* This distinguishes them from the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans who wore gowns and cloaks. The traditional Persian dress is specifically crafted to endure Iran's chilly weather and showcases the ancient Iranian culture's practicality and ingenuity. • Iran's native and ancient name means *"Land of Aryans,"* and it has been in use for over 2500 years. The name "Persia" was used by Greeks to describe Iran. • The *Persian/Iranian World* is an ancient name for a region that spans from the Plateau of Iran to the Caucasus and Central Asia. This region houses Iranian customs, languages and peoples. Persian architecture reflects ancient philosophical, mathematical, and mystical themes. The ancient shades of turquoise are revered in Persian culture and depict the link between the earth and the unknown spiritual world. The *contributions of Persian scholars and poets* like Avicena, Rhasis, Biruni, Farabi, Khwarazmi, after whom the word "algorithm" is named, Ferdowsi, Khayyam, Saadi, Hafez, and Rumi, to the fields of philosophy, literature, art, musical theory, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, and metaphysics, have bestowed the world with a wealth of Persian knowledge and wisdom. • Persian cuisine is known for its ancient and unique gastronomic heritage. It *blends sweet and sour flavors* together and features fragrant and fluffy rice. Saffron and pistachios are conspicuously used in Persian cuisine and impart a rare flavor. This cuisine is also notable for its sour notes, which can be overpowering to those unfamiliar with it. The Iranian palate is accustomed to this sourness and sweetness and can even enjoy the tartness of limes on their own. • Persian decorative arts and crafts have deep historical roots. Iranian artisans are known for their skillful designs, brilliant colors, and remarkable craftsmanship. This is reflected in various mediums like carpet weaving, painting, calligraphy, pottery, and metalwork. Persian paintings are acclaimed for their precuse embellishments and lively tones. These *Persian styles have had a major impact on the world* and inspired and influenced artists and designers across different cultures and periods. Persian art has been a main source of inspiration for European artists during the Renaissance period. • The tradition of weaving carpets was invented in ancient Persia, when Iranian nomadic peoples used simple weaves of fabric to stay warm on cold and damp grounds. Over time, this basic need evolved into a sophisticated art form that produced the visually most beautiful patterns. *Persian carpets are praised for their beauty* and have been highly valued by royality, nobility, and collectors across the ages. Persian culture holds rugs as prized possessions that carry deep sentimental and cultural meaning. Today, Persian rugs are highly prized and sought-after decorative items around the world. Iran remains the center of carpet waving with unique and ancient styles. • Persian culture has inspired and influenced people worldwide. This includes minds like Voltaire, Montesquieu, Nietzsche, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander, who is believed to be the first admirer of Persian culture in the West. The enduring legacy of Persian culture is evident in its profound influence on the world and attests to its magnificence and endearing qualities!

Correct mistakes: The word "Paradise /فردوس" is an Arabic word consisting of two parts: "br/بر" : means earth "tows/طوس" : means adornment and beauty Therefore, the peacock bird in the Arabic language is called "tawoos/طاووس" because it is the embodiment of beauty and adornment.

Morocco is not middle east.. it is North Africa and we are proud being Arabs and Africans and Amazigh❤ we have different amazing cultures and we have about 7 dialects even locals sometimes can't understand each others! lol Morocco is full of different people and food and clothes and weather and natures... I'm proud Moroccan!
Chalhia , tarifits
1. Who’s we? You’re not even Moroccan. You’re Arab. You have no Moroccan blood or Moroccan roots and can’t even speak the native language 2. You’re not African. You’re Arab. You have no African DNA or African origins and can’t even speak an African language. Just because your ancestors colonized Africa doesn’t make you African 3. I’m Moroccan (indigenous and genetically unlike you) and I’m not Arab. Try again 4. Sorry to disappoint you but Moroccan culture is not Arab lol. It’s not your culture.
@@amanipoopy we are northwestern Africa also we know ourselves better than anyone!!.. so don't act like you know much about us, middle east is all Arabs except (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania, Libya, even Sudan, Somalia and Djibouti) 🙂
I was about to write a whole paragraph but you said it all Brother ✊🏽🇲🇦
@@Mimine5687 Being Arab isn’t about percentage of Arab DNA. It’s about descendance. There’s two types of Arabs: Adnanites (sons of Prophet Isma’il) & Qahtanites (sons of Qahtan). The first originated from Saudi Arabia while the second from Yemen. So the children of these two are all considered Arabs. About North African dialects, they don’t really contain much French in their original form. It’s just people that force French into it, especially those from cities.
I think Persian is a beautiful and fascinating language. It has a rich history and culture, and it is spoken by millions of people around the world. I am particularly interested in the Persian literature, which is one of the oldest and most sophisticated in the world. Here are some of the things I like about Persian: The sound of the language is very melodic and pleasing to the ear. The vocabulary is rich and expressive, with many words that have no equivalent in other languages. The grammar is relatively simple, making it relatively easy to learn. The writing system is based on the Arabic script, but it has its own unique features. Overall, I think Persian is a beautiful and interesting language that is worth learning. If you are interested in learning a new language, I would definitely recommend Persian. Here are some of the benefits of learning Persian: It can help you connect with people from Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and other countries where Persian is spoken. It can give you access to a rich and diverse culture. It can help you learn about the history of the Middle East. It can improve your understanding of other Indo-European languages. If you are interested in learning Persian, there are many resources available to help you. You can find textbooks, online courses, and even language partners. I would recommend starting with a basic textbook to learn the basics of the language. Once you have a good foundation, you can start practicing with other resources.
The "arabic" script is based on older varities of Persian writing & the letters were stylized by Persians. Persian has its unique calligraphy style. Learning Persian will help you understand the history of Central Asia/Iran.
you can understand Rumi and Khayyam if you learn persian the language almost stayed the same after 1000 yeras😂
Iranians don't write in Arabic script. The root of Arabic script is Iranian. Research about Avesta script
@@arya_mehr2003 Everyone knows That Persian Is Written With Arabic Letters. The Main Letters Of Persian Language Are Disappearing & The Persian Language Is Written With Arabic Letters. Arabic Does Not Have Persian Roots. Lie Less, Dear User.
@@SantosOfficial614 It is very clear that you have no interest in researching the authenticity of words. The script you call Arabic is derived from the Kufic script, and the Kufic script is also rooted in the Avestan script, which was used by the Sassanid Empire, who were Persians, throughout the empire, and the Arabs also copied this script. Do it with Kufi name, then write the Arabic language in Kufi script. First, if you are a person who studies and researches, you will fully understand the truth

Give Urdu a try! Its a sweeter and more royal version of farsi. And easiest to learn and express in.
Africa is similar to Asia in terms of diversity , but the biggest major difference between the Islamic world in Africa and the Islamic world in Asia , is that Asia was under the rule of the Mongols , Africa on the other hand was never invaded by the Mongols , the Mongols never managed to invade Western Europe or Africa , in both cases they were defeated , they only managed to capture the Middle East and Eastern Europe

As a native Persian speaker, I got really surprised to see comparing Farsi and Arabic once and for all so people could feel the difference between the two languages and stop misunderstanding Persian and Arabic or considering it as one of the various Arabic accents! Thank you, guys, so much for this fun-informative video 👍👌❤️

As a saudi i never thought people would think perisan is even close to arabic the persian way of speaking isn’t near arabic at all but similar to South asian languages like pakistan and india especially pushtan
@@fanafana9974 yeah, as Middle Easterners, the differences and similarities are more obvious and easier to understand for us. Also, we have to consider the fundamentals and structure of the languages, and as we know Persian is an Indo-European language, whilst Arabic is a Semitic language! as I mentioned Middle Easterners know the differences, but usually people from the Far East or the West can’t distinguish between the two languages and cultures!
Still 40% of Farsi is from Arabic 🤷♂️
@@fanafana9974 you think right, because root of the there language is "Farsi dari"
my city has a very large Moroccan immigrant community, and so a large proportion of my friends are Moroccan.... I'm always asking questions about the dialects, because language fascinates me and they are born polyglots. Of course all speak darija (the Moroccan dialect), all of them have learned English living here in the U.S., all are familiar with French (with many being fluent, some rusty), some speaking Spanish (a few fluent, but most rusty/minor), all can understand and typically speak fusha/classical arabic, but they also adopt other dialects. We have several Saudi friends, and of course I would hear my friends speak to them easily, so I asked them what language they speak to them in ("in fusha, since you both know it?") and he said "oh I just use a Saudi dialect" 🤯 The range is incredible. The hilarious part is that I am on a journey to learn Arabic so that I can converse with Arabic speakers, but I have become extremely familiar with Moroccan darija, so the only "arabic" I know is the dialect that no one else can understand 🤣 I don't think I will ever stop saying "bzaff" even when I learn other dialects properly. When Kenza said "w.... ah, aandi bzaff dial hobbies" I laughed so hard. That language and country will always be close to my heart. And I have one Saudi friend who speaks only a little English, so sometimes the two of us (him Saudi, me British-American) speak to each other in our broken Moroccan darija that we learned from exposure through our friends, just to level the playing field (down to "wili wili wili" 🤣) I love language because of these unique connections... not just because it allows you to communicate with more people, but because of the genuine affection and curiosity it inspires in people whose languages and cultures have overlap, such as displayed in this video and such as I've seen first-hand among my friends. We sometimes we call our smoke breaks "the united nations" because of how many countries we represent. It is one of the most playful and natural forms of cultural exchange, in my opinion, and it really instills a deep respect in the language skills of humankind.
Trust me, if you learn Darija, Moroccan Arabic , and then go and give yourself a 2 years kf listening to (Lebanese, Egyptian, Emirati songs) along with Darija , and then watch some Egyptian films .. you'd end up understanding more than 80% of like 15 counties different dialects Egyptian and Lebanese would help you to understand Palestinian, Jordanian and Syrian and even some Iraqi. Emirati would help for Saoudi, Yemeni, Omani, Qatari, Bahraini, Kuwaiti Moroccan would help you to get ready and adapt with them all since it's the hardest and sharpest one and the most diverse with all letters pronunciation. And also would definitely help for Some Tunisian، Algerian and Lybian When an Arab learn Moroccan, he would start understanding North African dialectes quickly, but if it was the opposite way, it's very hard because as I said, Moroccan is the most diverse in terms of words and sounds and pronunciation
Very interesting video. I am Brazilian and I totally understand what it feels like when people don't know which language is spoken in your country lol. Just like many people think Arabic is the language of Iran, many also think we Brazilians speak Spanish when our language is actually Portuguese (which, interestingly enough, are two very similar languages in writing too but totally different when spoken).

Persia does not exist anymore. They are Iranians
As an Iranian I should clarify we learn Arbic in school but not as our main language it has more simularities like a side-lamguage and for that reason many Iranians can understand Arabic rather than speaking it . The second reason we understand Arabic it's becuase we share the same religion with Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia or Qatar etc. Great video guys ، keep the massively well-done work up .

@@afsane_nezhadi the country Iran does have ethnic minorities such a Azari/Turk, Kurd, Baloch etc. Their mother tongues are separate from the Persian/Farsi language.

Farsi is the Finnish of the Middle East haha. I remember the Nordic video where the Norwegian, Swede, and Dane understood each other but no one understood the Finn. Same thing here. Also the Moroccan dialect is the Chile Spanish of Arabic it seems!
not really, farsi is just a completely different language from arabic while finnish and other nordic languages have the same root.
@@lambsauce8937 Not true, finnish is part of a totally different language family (finno-ugric) while the others are northern germanic, and thus indoeuropean, languages.
Moroccan is the Chile and Cuba Spanish of arabic
No, Turkish would be the Finnish of Middle East since Turkish and Finnish are originally East and Central Asian languages that ended up in a different part of Eurasia. Farsi is not unique in that region. It's an Indo-Iranic language, just like Ossetian, Kurdish, Afghan Pashto, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Bengali etc. Basically a big chunk of Asia.
@@JohnDoe10350 He said in the Middle-east, not the whole Asia! The only Indo-European languages that are spoken by a relatively large number of people in the Middle-east are Kurdish and Persian. The rest are either Turkic or Arabic. It's the same with Finnish, which the only other Finno-Ugric language spoken beside it in Europe with a comparable populus of speakers is probably Estonian.
I'm watching World Friends for 7-8 months and I was wondering when you'll do arabic and farsi languages. Okay, I knew it will be hard to find people from Middle Eastern Countries in South Korea but you did it. Good Job and very very very interesting video.
Egyptian dialect is the most understandable among Arabs due to the shows movies and sitcoms a lot of us used to watch growing up, the only con with that is that you find it difficult understanding other Arabic dialects
Great video, so good to see young people from countries that have very strong national identities , cooperating and getting on so well together , it gives you hope for relations between those countries .Thanks World Friends for bringing them together .

Wow ! It is interesting to know more about the dialect of others, and I understand the Saudi dialect but the Moroccan dialect is just difficult and takes a lot to understand, but I still love all dialects😂❤ Your friend from Egypt 🇪🇬 ✨
this crew is so chill and playful
As a Persian individual, I am fluent in five diverse languages-Persian, English, French, Danish, and German-and possess a grasp of several others. Persian is an indo-euorpaen language, meanwhile Arabic is a semitic language. The sounds, grammar, syntaxes, and structure of these languages are completely different. But each language across the globe possesses its unique beauty. Arabic too, possess a captivating allure. Immerse yourself in the melodic voices of Arabic singers, who adeptly navigate the intricacies of the language and the art of vocal expression. Alternatively, indulge in the rhythmic charm of Arabic poetry recitation. These artistic expressions unveil a sublime tapestry of refinement and delicacy woven into the Arabic language, creating a truly enchanting experience.
Do you think it is better to know Persian, Arabic, or Turkish to travel in middle east?
The language you opt for depends entirely on the particular region in West Asia you're planning to visit. Nonetheless, English is a suitable choice in these countries, as a majority of the population has a good command of the language. @@nathan_408
isnt it sad on how im indian living in 🇸🇦 and the only language im fluent in is english ☠️☠️
@@Check_Hook because indians workers in Saudi Arabia don't care to learn Arabic because they have their own community, plus it make their lives easier when they speak broken Arabic because locals wouldn't talk to them as much, because that means less " work " and an excuse for their incompetence
Whenever a Moroccan girl or Egyptian boy talks, I find myself smiling happily. They have very good energy❤❤❤❤
Good job latifa you are the best one 🇸🇦♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎖
I think in majority of the Islamic world, people learn Arabic just enough to be able to read and understand the Quran, even if Arabic is not spoken in those places. Even here in India, there is obviously no formal education in Arabic, but some of my Muslim friends learned (probably from their parents or their local maulvis) some Arabic for religious purposes.
The arabic of the quran is different then the dialicts that why when people learn standard arabic they sometimes cant understand locals when they travel in arabic speaking world cuz the dialicts are different from one country to another
yup, you right.
@@docaz9453 its just a myth
@@wildae. How is it a myth. I don't even speak Arabic but I can definitely hear the different in dialects between Gulf, Levantine, African and Iraqi/Kuwaiti Arabic.
@@rohitchaoji i think you are from india right, because your name rohit. So india is a big country with many dialects of hindi but can you understand them? I am from pakistan even i can uderstand different dialects of hindi even though we were never taught hindi words. Same is for arabic, they all understand quran and speak the same language. A person from 1400 years ago will be easily understood by the people of arab today, its just words like airport, car mobile etc which didnt exist back then would be new for him. This myth exists only in india/pak arabs don't say that, our mullah deceive us so that we don't read quran and realize our mullah are wrong and arabs are right
Nice, but their voices were so muffled and the background music too loud. Please consider turning down or off the music and boosting the voices instead. Thanks
I speak French and Persian, so it was easier for me to understand the Moroccan dialect, between the 3 arabic dialects 😆also I have many moroccan friends and I travelled to Morocco :)
we are you from it s good welcome to morocco
An Iranian will understand some Arabic because he studied Arabic in school. On the other hand, Arabs will not understand an Iranian, because Persian (Farsi) and Arabic are two completely different languages. The Persian language is a language from the Iranian group of Indo-European languages (Iranians are Indo-Europeans) and has nothing to do with the Arabic language. Arabic is a language belonging to the group of Semitic languages. The Persian language (Farsi) is more similar to European languages than to Arabic.
Right
Actually some Arabs in the Gulf (Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain) have some Persian words in their dialects some they can understand many Persian words.
@@Ahmed-pf3lg Just like many people around the world know at least a few phrases and words in English.

I am Arab and I really liked the video. I understood all the Arabic dialects being spoken here, like Egyptian (since I am Egyptian) and Saudi but Morrocoan was a little challenging for me since they tend to mix French and Amazighi words and they speak so fast 😅. As for Farsi, I understood only the words that come from Arabic but it sounds like a beautiful language. Greeting to all MENA people from Egypt 🇪🇬 🇸🇦 🇲🇦 🇮🇷

In Egypt we can understand most of arabian accent but Morocco and Algeria an Tunisia is kinda hard
what is “Amazighi”😮?

The Egyptian guy is cute like every video 😍
Farsi is a different language. I mean Urdu has Farsi, Sanskrit, and Arabic. I have always seen Farsi and Arabic as different languages. A lot of people in Pakistan also read Arabic but don't understand it. There are many words that people can understand in South Asia (Urdu and Hindi). But that region has been othered a lot. Many people were surprised to know the script Urdu used is like Arabic or Farsi with extra alphabets- even though we speak it like everyday Hindi. Also, the moroccon girl had a tinge of French when she was speaking too. That's why I dont understand why you would group everyone together here lol. Might as well add more nationalities to it. Just saying.
For a person who has a Saudi family and lived in ksa for 4 years we need more Saudi people because different places in ksa also have different dialects
I have friends in saudi arabia (im from Tehran) we met on Call of duty mobile, and i do understand some of their words when they talk to each other I dont care about haters, or those who try to drive us away from each other, i salute to everyone in arabian countries, and i love them all, i hope one they we get allies and remove the boundaries 😊🔥❤️
This session was very interesting. I love Arab Countries and Iran too. In Spanish we have a lot of words that comes from Arabic: Guitarra, Alcancía, Alfombra, etc. 🇲🇽
What about the countries makes you love it????
@@Iceyfire12 It depends of what country we're talking. Egypt: their ancient Culture, pyramids, Sphynx, etc. Qatar, UAE, Bahrein and Saudi its human debeloplment and the good investments of oil sales revenue.

@@Iceyfire12 Morcco arquitecture is beautiful. Gorgeous cities such as Casablanca and Matrakech
I love spanish too i wanna learn it. El gato also is the same word in arabic😂
@@M.sami12 Wow I didn't know that
We Moroccans it's easy for us to understand and speak other Arabic dialect , but what I noticed that the Moroccan girl when it comes to " hobbies" she could speak Arabic instead of entering some french words such as " sports, picnic, la natation, caffes... " But she she do it in purpose to show that why other Arab countries can't understand us because we always mixed Arabic with french but not all of Moroccans of course... For example if I were her I would say : كيعجبني نقرا كتاب ، كيعبجني نمشي نخيم ، كنشرب قهوة ، كتعجبني الرياضة ... And yeah this is also Moroccan Arabic.
I speak french and I still don't understand your arabic words it's really sooo difficult for us. When I was in university I had many morrocan friends and we used to talk in french in order to understand each other. I think the major problem for us is that you delete all the vowels from words
@@TheLibanais yes maybe this is the problem but you should know that we don't only mixed Arabic with french but also with some amazigh words that's why you find it difficult , but for me I think you should only concentrate little bit and you will understand it
it's not just french, it's also a lot amazigh words. I know arabic and french but still get sometimes confused at a morroccan accent.
@@raniabouslamti2862 yes. When you speak slowly I can understand. I hope one day I'll be able to understand perfectly :)
@@TheLibanais yes you're right we speak fast that's why you don't catch it that's another reason ☺️ insha Allah I hope so 👍🏻

Maybe in the future videos, you guys can invite someone from Lebanon to make videos with the Arabic speakers group. Also, you guys can invite people who speak Tajik, Pashto, Dari, Tat, Kurdish, Ossetian to make videos with the Iranian guy.
Armenian doesn’t belong in this list. It’s not an Iranic language like the others you mentioned.
@@Ahmed-pf3lg Is Armenian an Indo European language, or Caucasian isolate?
Love to our Arab neighbors from Iran❤
farsi is under Indo-European language tree and very different from arabic! interstingly Persians borrowed many vocabs from arabic, although them might have a persian synonym for them, the same with french vocabs. So you might find 5 synonyms for a word coming from different roots, and ultimately, people use what is more convenient for them!
Farsi is indo Indian language same as afghans, it’s not European.
The Egyptian boy is kind, polite and refined, I am proud to be Egyptian. One day Egypt will shine again.🇪🇬🇪🇬

While we have Türkiye🇹🇷 and dominate the Mediterranean waters, Egypt only does the work of itsy bitsy things.
@@Berserker0000 what a nice turkey lol. Our name is TÜRKİYE 🫡🇹🇷
I was most interested in evolution of the language as related to space and time. In other words, Farsi (Persian) is a very ancient language and the Persians once ruled much of the Middle East. I assume the native languages of the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula were influenced and modified by that. Then, of course, after the 8th century when Arab armies conquered much of the Middle East and later North Africa, they spread their language as I had developed. But as someone in the video mentioned, by the time that language reached Morocco (and eventually Spain), it had to contend with local latin languages (including Latin itself and early Spanish) and certainly would have adopted certain words or phrases. I would expect Farsi to be most different from Moroccan Arabic and Egyptian Arabic to be closest to Saudi Arabic.
True, but north African countries like Morocco and Algeria's original language is the Amazigh language (also called Tamazight or berber, it'a a very old language that's still talked today in north Africa, you can look it up to hear how it sounds) and not latin, latin came later with the french and Spanish colonizations and it was way after the introduction of the Arabic language to the region. that's why their pronunciation is kind of harsh and difficult to understand by other Arabic speaking countries: they use the Amazigh sounds and words while speaking and lastly add some latin words to the mix and there you have it, the Morrocan and Algerian dialects.
the modern arabic languge is influenced by persian but the classical arabic isnt it was mostly influenced by aramaiac and old hebrew the modern hebrew language is 40 percent arabic so no farsi is a beutifall language but its more closer to turkic than it is to arabic the arabic of arbian penunsila dosent have that much persian influence like the iraqi language
As a Moroccan i would say that we can understand and/or speak different Arabic dialects because we grow up watching TV shows and programs of certain Arabic countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, UAE, especially Egypt
I'm moroccan and I can't understand all the countries located between lybia and irak
the fact that you see nothing wrong with them stating morocco is middle eastern shows your ignorance
Stop watching too much tv dude
@@AdamAzzr I’m Yemeni and can understand morracan well we have alot if similar words other dialects don’t have
@@ijustwannabehappier-v4973 Well morroco is in north africa, but in the media when they want to put all the arab country together they use the term middle east in a sense of cultural, this is the reason why singers or footbalers from maghreb get throphies or award for middle eastern
could you guys do the south pacific countries?? 🇼🇸 Samoan, 🇹🇴 Tongan, 🇹🇻 Tuvalu, 🇳🇺 Niue, 🇹🇰 Tokelau, 🇨🇰 Cook Islands, Tahiti
Can you guys lower the music a little? Amazing video btw!
لطيفة مره مثقفه ماشاءالله وذكيه she kept catching words from the farsi language and she speaks english very well
Get a German speaker along with an Arabic and Morroccan and throw a Gaelic speaker in that would be interesting.
Good idea 👍
Sorry to disappoint you but this is not even Moroccan what she’s speaking
@@John-pk9rw its moroccan darija
@@KoLoLoZ Sorry to disappoint you but Darija is Arabic, not Moroccan. Besides that, it’s called Darija, not Moroccan Darija. You don’t have to add the word “Moroccan” to make it look as if you speak Moroccan lol. You don’t. Just accept that you speak Arabic.
@@naawam3027 1. They don’t understand your Darija (Arabic dialect) because it’s a different dialect. That’s why it’s called dialect. Go learn what a dialect means 2. “Middle Easterners don’t understand me. I’m Moroccan and I can’t understand your Darija either. How do you explain that?😂
For the Moroccan lady , i think the reason why they couldn't really understand her in the second sentence is because she literally used a french word that made them confused and not focused anymore, and actually there's a translation to that french word in Moroccan language....
Yeah and she has a thick French accent. Plus in that second sentence she used more than 5 French words. A lot of Moroccans in videos like this use French words instead of Arabic ones (that actually everyone uses) to sound like they are different from other Arabs, and to get reactions out of people....and I wish they would stop.
This video would have been so good if they just cut the music out so I could hear the words and actually participate.
Latifa we love you 🇸🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
