Differences Between Classical Arabic (CA) and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) | Subtitled

[@Patrick.Khoury]

I'd like to point out there are some grammatical errors in my Classical Arabic speech. For example I said "Qāmu al-loughawiyyūn" instead of "Qama al-loughawiyyūn". I also said "Kānat lugha mutadāwila" instead of "Kānat lugha mutadāwala", etc.

[@dizzyrjl3713]

could you put Arabic subtitles for Language Reactor support?

[@moussatanger4021]

Even so, you have my respect. I try for years to learn Arabic but all the teachers I have had, focus purely on Grammar. So I learned how to analyze a sentence without even knowing what the sentence means...absurd. So, I wish I could speak Arabic like you do. How and where did you learn the language?

[@ashmezry6102]

@@moussatanger4021 it's usually like that when we learn in schools, or with the teachers who teach the Turath books 🥲 It takes self-initiatives to do extra reading on our free time to get used to sentence structures and writing styles and common vocabs.

As someone who is speaks mostly Riyadhi accent at a conversational level (I also studied fus7a and I can somewhat understand other dialects), Patrick’s pronunciation is very good for someone who is a Levantine dialect speaker (I’m guessing he’s Lebanese based on his name and is pronunciation of ج and ة). This not a dig at against Patrick since I think his fus7a pronunciation is waaay better than even newscasters on LBC or MBC (who often have really poor pronunciation due to inconsistencies with fus7a short vowels vs. Lebanese 3amiyya short vowels). From my experience, MSA instruction for native Arabic speakers can be rather poor depending on the type of school someone goes to in Lebanon (due to the sectarian nature of politics in the country). Anyway, Patrick if you read this, good job with the fus7a!!! It was very nice to listen and try to see how much I understood without the subtitles.

I finally gave up learning Alfusha (at least for now), I have started learning the Levantine Arabic dialect which is easier and personally more enjoyable to learn (I think you also speak the Lebanese dialect, right?). And I was wondering... since Classical Arabic is not really a colloquially spoken language, is it natural for you to speak it? Is it a language you know at an advanced level just because you've always been exposed to it? And is it a language that only highly educated people can use? Thanks for you great videos :)

[@Patrick.Khoury]

Thanks Santi! Appreciate it Sir! That's correct, Lebanese is my native dialect..And to answer your question about Standard Arabic. No, it's not natural for me to speak this language. I always feel as if it's foreign to me somehow, although I understand it pretty well and can speak it if I wanted to..We usually take up Standard Arabic at school (decoding the grammar and such), and we have subjects such as Geography, History, and civic education that are given in Standard Arabic, not to mention the local news and religious and literature books. But apart from that, we seldomly hear it...But I've been exposed to it a fair deal in my life to be able to understand it and speak it (up to a certain extent).

[@Patrick.Khoury]

I wouldn't say this applies only to high educated people. For instance, I know some very highly educated people from the posh society in Lebanon who have a very hard time speaking SA...on the other hand, I have met uneducated farmers and countrymen who can speak it fairly good. I think the more conservative and religious you are, the more you are drawn to understanding the Qur'an and other religious texts, which are solely written in Classical Arabic, an older and more classical version of SA. The high society, more drawn to the west, are more into French and English, and it's kinda sad..they long to give up on their roots to look more cool or accepted in society. See, for Lebanese people born in Lebanon, French is considered a prestigious language.

[@santiglot]

@@Patrick.Khoury That makes a lot of sense, thanks for your explanation :)

[@metalsabatico]

@@santiglot from all the reading I have done while studying languages in general, and I might be wrong, I think speaking MSA for Arabs would be the equivalent of all the Romance language countries having to speak Latin as a lingua franca. No one speaks it naturally anymore but all of their languages are based on it, so it’s not completely foreign to them.

[@misterbk1791]

@@metalsabatico that would be rather extreme as a comparison. It’s more like if people spoke in Victorian English and proper English across the country. This is one of the best comparison because of the number of accents and words people make up using sounds in English. For example Liverpool and Cardiff sound like two different country and almost speak like one also.

Hello, I am not educated on the topic. But from what I have read, it would be influenced lexically most notably by coptic. The exact origin if arabic dialects is uncertain, with many believing that there was already certain dialects when islam spread to these areas.

[@misterbk1791]

@@bronzeagecollapse to my knowledge we already know for a fact there were already different ‘dialects’ however they were intelligible. They were generally different manners of speaking. For example if someone was say a sentence in a different manner however what is meant is the same. But to be clear the use of dialect here is very different to use the of dialect when talking about modern dialects. Modern dialects in comparison to previous dialects like different languages. They aren’t but it’s just a comparison as the differences are much greater than what they were before.

Most of Arabs today deny to seperate between MSA and Classical Arabic and consider them as the same pretty much. The also claim they can easily understand Qoran, Hadeeth and classic works without needing an extra education. Indeed this claim arises from their common ignorence and negligence. As you explained there are very important differences between these two style of Fusha and classical Arabic was a very refined language which was used by very literate scholars from Arabs and non-Arabs in Islamic world. Thus the literary style in works written in classical Arabic is very eloquent, concise and beautiful while MSA has a very dull and boring literary style and imitates mostly modern English and French syntax and literary sytles. And in addition MSA Fusha today is pronounced mostly incorrectly and in a ugly sytle due to influences of colloquial dialects. For example the letter "jeem" is pronounced like french "j" while it is pronounced in classical style as "g" in english. This incorrect pronounciation i think originates from abundance of announcers from laventine area in Arabic media. Because they tend to pronounce Arabic according to their dialects. But most of Islamic scholars still pronounce it more correctly according to their Quranic education.

Written Arabic is very basic to learn, but in daily life the linguistic situation is very different. My favourite regional Arabic is Levantine Arabic (it's mellifluous).

All serious linguistic research refutes that Classical Arabic was ever a spoken language and rather a compromise speech between ancient tribes. Koran itself wasn't in that dialect, rather in Old Hijazi which was rewritten to fit the "prestige" Classical Arabic. Dude, you're mixing facts with opinions and made a clip which wouldn't bother conservatives and Islamists. There's no such thing as the most eloquent form of a language. Taha Hussein found out that the presumed epic poems of the pre-Islamic era were fabricated, authored in the Abbasid era out of jealousy from other civilizations to fake a great heritage.
