there isn’t a p sound in Arabic there is in Urdu and Persian and other Persian origins language but no p bit this is a very good design they did really good

Yeah it should be with “ب" which is the B sound and it has 1 dot under

[@prenomnom2812]

Yes, but there are /p/ and /v, β/ in perso-arabic scripts. That's why he said the 7up logo was written in "perso-arabic script", not "arabic script" :)

[@amj.composer]

I had NO idea Arabic uses ڤ‎ sometimes. That's interesting!!

[@luluraheem8487]

It actually doesn't! But it's sort of an extra letter that is exclusively used for foreign words. If you ever visit an Arab country, you'll see it only on shop signs mostly for foreign brands. Same with the "p" sound (پ), which is not in the actual arabic alphabet but was added to adapt to foreign words.

[@mohannad_139]

as the person above me said, it's not used in standard arabic, but only in sound-translatiom. here are some other letters: v (like in van): ڤ g (like in game): گ p (like in up): پ s/g (like in vision or magic): چ and other sounds that does not exist in english: ڞ,ڠ,ڜ,ڰ,ڟ,ژ

[@turquoiseninju7]

That letter (along with the one for p) is actually used in languages like Urdu and Persian.. hence why he called it the Perso-Arabic script

[@amj.composer]

@@mohannad_139 Yeah I'm aware of the existence of those letters. Btw, چ doesn't have a Jh sound from what I know (unless they use it in Egypt since they pronounce jeem as a geem (like g in gift), I have simply no idea). But in persian, urdu and a bunch of other languages in the area it's pronounced as che with ch as in "chill". Also ژ is the letter in Persian, urdu etc which is used for "viSIon" and "pleSUre". Not sure if چ really does that, never seen a language is چ that way.

[@mohannad_139]

Arabic spelling is 100% phonetic. There's no weird spelling rules and exceptions, what you hear is what you write. Only thing is that letters look different depending if they're in the middle or the beginning/end of a word

[@MisterJimLee]

​@adamibnousman647 It's phonetic until they are writing in a different dialect than they're speaking. Plus the vowels can really be all over

[@OptimusPhillip]

Apparently, yes. It seems to just be a straight transliteration of the English "Seven Up"

[@fernit0505]

​@@AjZ530with consonants it is, but vowels do present variation (on top of the fact you can just leave the short ones unwritten).

[@AjZ530]

Ins't the "P" sound only common in Farsi and Urdu? I was pretty sure they've added it into their languages because arabic doesn't naturally use that sound.

[@tarekmegahed1423]

We use Persian, Kurdish, and Urdu script sometimes to represent foreign words with letters we don't have like V, P, and G. But each country uses it differently. G is the most notable example. In Egypt we use ج which is J in Arabic, but we pronounce most J's as G's in the Egyptian dialect. In the gulf they use ق which is the uvular Q because they pronounce most Q's as G's. Meanwhile in Iraq they use the Persian گ which is an Arabic K with a dash over it to represent the G sound. P is also represented in Persian script, and V is represented as ڤ which is an F with three dots over it instead of one. However, in the Maghreb area they avoid using this because it looks similar to ڨ which they use to represent the G sound; the letter being a Qaf with three dots instead of two, so they're technically different but in cursive script they look the same. Maghrebis use ڢ instead, which is an F with a dot under it instead of over it to represent the V sound. And the reason for this is that maghrebis use a different script as a default script for the Quran(المغربي المبسوط), because their default reading of it(warsh) is not as common in the Eastern Arab countries(Hafs), and this script uses the letter ڢ to represent a normal F sound so they're used to seeing it.

The T and D which are said in English by clicking the tongue on the mouth is not in arabic. For example the D used when saying Dad is not there. Same for the T the one used when saying Tap is not there. And the R used when Rad or Radio is also not there. And the G when used for saying Gang too. Hope this helped guys.

Call me crazy, but the "English" numbers (1234567890) are actually an Arabic development, and the modern Arabic numbers (١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩٠), We adopted these from Indian numerals, AND the number 0 is an Indian invention, It developed and spread to Europe by Arabs, at time when the the number line is as simple as kindergarten, lol 😂, that's why Indians and Arabs are good at explaining maths in YT, but not IRL

[@jevilcatfan123]

The Mayan civilization was the first to discover 0. But, everything else you said was correct 👍.

[@anthemsofeurope2408]

Well before that we europeans had our own number scripts. Western Europe used I, V, X, L, C, Eastern Europe used α̅, β̅, γ̅ and so on. Basically Europe used an alphabetical number system, where every letter at a numberal meaning. There was btw a zero in greek numbers "𐆊". It was used first in 140 BC and came from Babylonian

[@KraanFanFan]

@@jevilcatfan123 evidence pls. i want to see about this cuz i always thought aryabhatta discovered 0

[@jevilcatfan123]

@KraanFanFan Just simply google Maya numerals. You would realise it came first. The oldest instance/discovery was used obviously in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. The infamous calendar that the world thought would mark the world's end if it finishes in 2012. It is roughly calculated to have created in 3144 BCE. However, the earliest long count date is from 36 BC, where it was required to use zero primarily as a placeholder for 2-digit numbers (e. g., 10 and 20). In addition, they used a simple drawing of a sea shell as a placeholder for NOTHING. Which was used way before 700 AD, a rounded date I believe was when Aryabhatta discovered 0. Therefore, historically, the Mayan civilization discovered the 0 first. Despite that, I might also be incorrect. So, tell me what you think should be corrected, and I might look forward to researching more.
