Is The Classical Arabic Language Useful In Mauritania?

In this video I recorded for you guys some casual conversations that I've had here in Mauritania with the Arabic that I've learnt across the years in Egypt.
The point of the video is to show you that if you learn the basic, classical Arabic you can pretty much understand any Arabic dialect.
At the end of the video I do a de-brief/summary of the video.

Classical Arabic is standard, it's unifying, it's educative, and using it keeps it alive..

[@shahhassan4049]

It is preserved

[@elsoonforlanguages5499]

@Death Of Insidious This is adding to the language, the bad thing is altering it.. The good thing is: Standard Arabic = Classical Arabic+some extra benefits

[@elsoonforlanguages5499]

@Death Of Insidious Sure, but may I know what it is bro?

I think that we actually look funny at you not because we think you're speaking funny, but because your speech sounds so eloquent. Fus'ha is revered by Arabs as an eloquent language which is very rare to hear in everyday life. So I think it often takes us by surprise to hear someone speaks in it on nonofficial occasions.

That was quite interesting ,not a country that has a lot of exposure and that seem pretty smooth from arabic understanding point of view. Judging by what people say about understanding Moroccan dialects if you're unfamiliar, I thought this would be in the same basket, but seem like you would have picked up in no time

[@TSGC16]

Yea Mauritanian dialect is much more close to the Arabic in the Middle East because the Arab assimilation happened quite recently compared to the other Maghreb dialects.

Brother just to let you know. Moroccan darija is the closest to classical Arabic. Far closer to ClassicaI arabic than Egyptian spoken Arabic. I know it sounds strange. But that's the truth. Only pronunciation and the speed with which we Moroccans talk make it sounds different. But studying the origin of words, you'll find 90% is pure Arabic. No more than 10% of darija vocabulary comes from Amazigh (a native north African dialect) and Spanish since we colonized Andalusia for 800 years. The remaining 90% is pure classical Arabic. Thank you for sharing these videos.

[@missyana8746]

Southern moroccans dont speak darija they speak hassaniya arabic like Mauritania but they pronunciation is more clear and articulate and they dont have words from west africans languages like mauritanian hassaniya so I had more facilities to understand hassaniya spoke by southern moroccans than mauritanians.

[@missyana8746]

Adambox well arabic words in moroccan darija are indeed all from Classical Arabic but in darija there is many words from berber, spanish, french, portuguese plus they speak fastly and arabs countries are not exposed to their dialect for these reasons its hard for peoples to understand them.

[@whostolemymakeup3816]

@@missyana8746 we Mauritanians literally use spanish, French, spanish and Arabic words in our dialect

Actually the closest one is Hassania but ok

The golden age saw a flood of European thinkers into the middle East to study alot of the words you use today are retrieved from Arabic even the roman numerals were replaced by Arabic numerals.

[@devvv4616]

are you against learning languages or smth? Muslims all around the world in the islamic golden age spoke and wrote in Arabic but they still retained their own cultures that we see now today.
