In this video, we compare some of the similarities between Bosnian (bosanski / босански) and Arabic (العربية) with Amina, a Bosnian speaker from Bosnia, and Lynn, an Arabic speaker from Saudi Arabia.

Arabic is a Central Semitic language and the official language of Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, 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. Arabic is also the liturgical language of Islam. Arabic has influenced some European languages, such as Spanish and to a lesser extent Portuguese, Valencian, Catalan, Sicilian, Greek and Bulgarian. Arabic has also greatly influenced Persian, Turkish, Spanish, Maltese, Urdu, Kashmiri, Kurdish, Bosnian, Kazakh, Bengali, Hindi, Malay, Maldivian, Indonesian, Pashto, Punjabi, Tagalog, Sindhi and Hausa and some languages in parts of Africa. In addition, Arabic has borrowed words from other languages including Greek and Persian.
The Bosnian language is mainly used by Bosniaks and one of the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnian is also recognized as a minority language in Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Kosovo.

I'm also learning the al shami dialects, arabic is hard but i think it looks more intimidating than it actually is.

HalkA is used for a wedding ring or a round earring, djob means a pocket, sokAk is very colloquial for a street, dyukyAn is an archaic word for a shop, ama is very often used (only in colloquial speech) for "but", katrAn is the same as in Bosnian/Arabic, kasApin is an archaic word for a butcher, kalUp is a mold (shape), kafEz is cage, sandUk means a coffer.

They were spoken in ancient times in Palestine, on the coast of Syria, and in scattered colonies elsewhere around the Mediterranean. An early form of Canaanite is attested in the Tell el-Amarna letters (c. 1400 BC). Moabite, which is very close to Hebrew, is known chiefly from one inscription dating from the 8th century BC. The only living Canaanite language is Hebrew, which was revived as a spoken language in the 19th and 20th centuries.'' This article is from Britannica.

Never been surprised by anything in your episodes more than the Arab girl here knowing the Bosnian word “ama” almost INSTANTLY!!!! Even though there is no emphasis on the “m” in it like in Arabic!!!!!! … I’ve seen Arabs totally not getting very similar words in other languages for a long time, but this girl is by far the best Arab that has come on any of your episodes!!! Didn’t seem like that at the beginning of it though, then she just flew up so high with quite a number of words!!! Impressive!!!

I hope people watching this don't go away with the impression that Bosnian is a Semitic language related to Arabic. It's not. It's a Slavic language. The words you've found are words of mostlyTurkish origin as Bosnia used to be within the Turkish Ottoman Empire. You also find words of Turkish origin in several languages in the region even Romanian. Same as you find a lot of words of Arabic origin in Spanish for historical reasons.

[@RedRose-cn8ln]
