As an Arab person, I think it is better for anyone who wants to learn Arabic to learn Standard Arabic and then learn the Yemeni or Saudi dialect because they are clear.❤

I’m a Puerto Rican/German revert and I am looking forward to learning Arabic in sha Allah

As an Moroccan, i think syrian and Egyptian they are simple and perfect for all beginners and every arabic can understand it

Grateful for you sharing the Arabic. I'm first generation in America. My parents came over from Jordan. I can understand the language better than I can speak it. If the Lord wills, I will learn the proper Arabic so I can communicate with Arabic speakers, as well as fellow Arabs, and share my faith. I thank God and appreciate you helping me to understand that is the way to God.

The Algerian guy is clearly from the capital,we have different dialects even in one country,nice video :)

I believe that the Egyptian dialect is the most popular dialect in the Middle East since that there are a lot of Egyptian TV shows, MOVIES, and music that are widely spread across the Middle East. This in return makes most of the Middle East understand the Egyptian dialect.

Thank you very much for this video, I can see the light in your eyes while you are teaching. That's very rare 💯 thank you very much and stay blessed 🙏🏾

I love this video. I am learning arabic being a german native speaker, inspired by all the sweet people of differing arabic backgrounds that I consider my friends. I think of syrians to be very sweet hearted, so hearing you say they speak sweetly made me smile.

“Arabic dialects”. Really good video. May Allah make it easy for all those who want to learn classical Arabic🤲🏼 Ameen

I am from Turkey, and because of the religion of Islam and Arabic words in my Turkish language, I understood some of the words those guys were saying. The Arabic I heard on your video from Syrian Lebanese, Palestinian and Iraqi Arabic was more apparent to my ears. Thanks for putting up this video.

Very helpful for me in deciding on how to proceed with expanding my learning of Arabic.

Arabic Dialects. You deserve many more subs bro. Alhamdulilah I am learning Masri and Fusha same time 💪🏽

I am Iranian and here in Iran, we study classical Arabic at school. The Libyan dialect was the easiest to understand for me.

As a Moroccan I admit that our dialect is the hardest one from the point of view of the classical Arabic, but,I am raised in Spain and didn't really grow in an Arabic country and a still be able to understand and speak the classical Arabic and I understand pretty well all the Arabic dialects, sometimes I struggle with the UAE and Qatari dialects because they say some strange words that I don't know what they mean,also Iraqis say some Kurdish and Persian words that disturb my understanding but nothing that could avoid a deep conversation (I think that what make the Magrebi dialect difficult is apart of our accent,the amount of Berber, French,and Spanish words that we often use when we speak) Great video 👍!

Moroccans speaking to anyone be like: 🧱

I’m learning Syrian Levantine, to me it sounds soft and smooth, as you said “sweeter”. I do find Iraqi and Saudi’s pronunciation the most intriguing! Almost the stereotypical Arabic :D

My parents (Americans) studied Fous-ha and thought they would be able to get around Saudi well enough when we moved there. Everyone just laughed 😬😂. Masha'Allah, they tried.

The differences here are not purely due to the differing dialects/accents, but also the choice of words commonly used in each region. Most (maybe all) terms used in the video are derived from fusha Arabic and can be found in an Arabic dictionary. For example, to say "woke up", some Arabs would say "صحيت" which stems from the Arabic word "الصحوة", others would use "فقت" which stems from the Arabic word "الافاقة", and some would use "قمت" which stems from the Arabic word "قام". There are also many different word choices/expressions for saying "today", "ate breakfast", "family", etc. that are all correct and stem from fusha words. This is similar to many cases in English like saying pants vs saying trousers, crisps vs chips, french fries vs chips, cookie vs biscuit, aubergine vs eggplant, and the list goes on and on. The differences in dialects and accents come into play when pronouncing certain sounds in these words. For example, as Muhammad pointed out in the video, Egyptians would pronounce the ج like the English G sound. Interestingly though, people from the Arabian peninsula (gulf) pronounce the ق like the English G sound. In other words, an Egyptian pronounces the ج exactly like a person from the gulf countries pronounces the ق, both of which are incorrect from a standard fusha Arabic POV. Another example is that Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, and Palestinians/Jordanians sometimes pronounce the ق like a ء. The dialect/accent also impacts the tone fluctuations, clarity, rhythm and pace, all of which, when combined with the different word choices, can make the same sentence sound very different coming from different Arabs. Pretty interesting right?

A very good video at last......I have been searching to learn Arabic......will start immediately.....will keep you updated on the progress.......thanks for making this....

You did the Algerian/Moroccan tone so well 😂❤️

This is an excellent video and much needed! Jazak Allahu kharain for posting it and allowing us to benefit from your knowledge.

Having watched the Arabic Dialect, am highly movtivated in learning the classic Arabic language. I must confess Brother Muhammed you are a great teacher and l believe with your series a seriously minded fellow will not only learn Arabic but will be fluent. Insha Allah. May Allah swt reward you Aamin

We don't say ''Petit Déjeuner'' in Algeria, we say Ftour or Ftour Sbah for breakfast. It's true we use French in our daily conversations, which gets mixed with our dialect. We also say Couzina for the kitchen. No one I know says Matbakh.

I feel that the Yemeni dialect is the cleanest and clearest among the others. Thanks for this great video.

Alhumdulliha thank you so much I have never heard anybody break down dialects like this very good thank you so much it will help me to decide on your course I know I think you understand the issues and concerns I have thank you so much بارك الله فيك

I could simplify it a bit .... 1- the countries to the west of the Arabic world (Algeria - Tunisia - Morocco) can be grouped in the (Maghrebi Dialect) or (Darja), it's the hardest language for other Arabs to understand, because it has plenty of French and Berber laon words, but they also are the best at understanding other dialects. 2- Mauritania speaks it's own dialect called (Hassayneya), which is surprisingly easy to understandm even tho its country is the furthest from the origin of the language (Arabian peninsuela). 3- the rest of the dialects are grouped into (Mashreqi -meaning eastern-) but they differ rom place to place....... 4- Egypt and Yemen change the (J) to a (G) sound, like in the word (Girl), so a (Jar) would become (Gar), Egyptian is the most understood in the Arab world because their cinema and music industry is popular in the Arab world. 5- Saudi - Omani - Qatar - UAQ - Bahrain - and Kuwait are in the (Khaleej -eaning Gulf-) dialect, they change the Arabic ق sound to (G), but some areas speak it as in standard Arabic. 6- Palestine - Syria - Lebanon - and Jordan are in the Levant (Shami) dialect, they change the ق sound to (A), tho in the rural areas and in the south there are variations, the letter could change to G, Ch, or K, this dialect is the 2nd most well understood because of Syrian TV shows and Lebanese music industry, also Palestinians refugees moved to all the Arab countries there is. 7- Iraq is a unique case, their south sounds like the Gulf dialect, their west sounds like the rural Levant dialect, their north is influenced by the various linguistic groups there (Kurds - Chaldonian - Turkish etc...), and their east is influenced by Persian, also, they are the 2nd least understood among the Arab dialects, mostly people who speak Darja call it the hardest dialect. -------------------------------------- advice: learn standard Arabic, you can get along with all formal and legal stuff that way, and then learn the dialect of the country you'd like to visit so you sound like the locals .... if you are not planning to visit an Arab country but do want to speak the slang, then there is a dialect called (White Dialect) which is basically a comination of all Arab dialects into one simplified dialect, it uses the easiest parts to understand of all dialects and mix in some standard Arabic ..... the closest dialect to the white dialect is (Hejazi Arabic) which is a sub-dialect spoken in Saudi Arabia, but they also have some unique words and phrases so it's not pure white accent.

This was really fun to watch.

Assalamu alycum hermano! Yo tambiem soy andalusi y estoy intentando aprender arabe. Tu video es justo lo que necesito. May Allah SWA reward you.

You have to take in mind that the dialect of a certain country mostly change according to the city, for example I'm Egyptian, Cairo is different from Upper Egypt and Delta, each region has an accent and may the whole dialect change sometimes. Also in Saudi Arabia Mekkah differs from Reyadh, Jeddah and Madina, but still all are understandable for most Arab natives.

I am from Sudan and honestly speaking, most of the time when we speak with someone who isn't from Sudan, we just "tone down" our accent😂 Our accent is much more varied from place to place, and if you, for instance, read any Sudanese novel, hear Sudanese music or just observe a simple interaction between 2 Sudanese people, it is much, much more difficult. Thank you for your efforts ربنا يوفقك.

I'm a Brazilian and love your videos man keep going

Arabic dialectsss- this was so interesting and insightful thank you!

this is so cool thank you for making this!! super informative!

Arabic Dialects 👍 Best video ever! maa sha’a Allah, so interesting and entertaining. Really appreciate the breakdown and analysis between the dialects and accents Bravo!

My family is from Algeria, from Algiers and Medea. They have different accents, even the vocabulary is different. In Medea it is more clear, very easy to understand.

You're doing such a great job by promoting Arabic... From a non-Arab viewer who loves Arabic!

I have BA in Arabic. I say learn classical and then choose a dialect. Learn MSA Arabic in a more passive manner but perhaps after 6 months you can start a dialect a dialect because this is what people speak on a daily basis. Keep in mind that Arabic speakers learn the dialect FIRST as kids. For folks like me who didn't have that luxury of growing in up in an Arabic speaking house hold, the truth is that when you study Arabic its like you''re studying a language and a half. I did 3 years of classical Arabic at university in Spain. Then I did a summer course in Amman after my 3rd year. I found a book on the Shami dialect before I went to Amman and when I got to Amman it made it so much easier to communicate with the people. I also lived in Morocco. If you go to Morocco and say...............أنا أريد أن أذهب إلى بنك you sound crazy! Nobody speaks that way at all!بغيت نمشي لبنك is much better!

Im not sure if you will see this, but this video made me so happy. I have been very stressed lately about my life and my roots because I am an American-born Moroccan who is struggling to find myself during high-school. Thank you so much, brother.

The best video ever for Arabic language!

Greeting from Yemen bro. Nice Video..you killed it in Yemeni dialect😂😂

The oo/ee/aa (algerian/Yemeni/Saudi) was on point ...totally get what you're trying to say 😂. I have so many Yemeni friends and I can tell you your analysis is so accurate. I have the same experience lol. Masha Allah, this was hilarious though.

Thanks for bringing awareness to the various Arabic dialects. I lived in Sudan many years ago, and met many Americans there studying Arabic, and when I asked why they studied in Khartoum and not in Saudi they said that Sudanese Arabic was closest to the Fusha or Classic Arabic.

Great job. Would see after 15 months inshaAllah

Thank you for your work!

It is important to understand that within each country there are usually several dialects, which can differ a lot. But I would say that the Saudi Najdi dialect is the closest to classical Arabic and so is the Najdi dialect spoken in Jordan. The actual Omani dialect is also very close to classical Arabic, but not the dialects spoken in the far North of Oman or the Southern dialects of Oman. You can't get a full understanding of how close a dialect is to classical Arabic from a few sentences, you have to have good knowledge of each respective dialect. The North African dialects are not that close to classical Arabic, neither are the sham dialects, or the Iraqi dialects or the Khaleeji dialects. All these dialects have had strong influences from other languages over the centuries. It also makes sense that Najdi Arabic and perhaps the Omani dialect are closest to classical Arabic, as they indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula and they haven't had too many outside influences. For example, Najdi Arabic which is predominantly spoken in central Saudi Arabia, is much more closer to classical Arabic than Hijazi Arabic(spoken in Western Saudi) or Khaleeji Arabic(Spoken in Eastern Saudi Arabia).

Arabic Dialects I enjoyed this video. I've been in Bahrain for about 14 years and learned to speak Bahraini Arabic. Even though Bahrain is small, there are different accents/Dialects here. If you ever go to Bahrain, you should do a video showing people from different areas and highlight their different accents.

This is an amazing video۔ Thanks for your hard work. جزاک اللہ 🌷

This was fun, shukran! I teach Levantine/Shami along with the fundamentals of MSA, an intro course which students can then continue either or both (or branch off to another dialect). Many in the comments are asking which dialect to study...you really just need to choose one, and that would depend on your personal goals/interests. That said, Egyptian and Levantine are considered the most widely understood, in part due to these regions having a long history of producing films and other media. I look forward to watching more of your content...مع السلامة

Arabic dialects. Thanks for the video. It was really good. I started learning MSA but I saw a lot of videos saying that I should learn a dialect and I was confused this video helped me a lot. I speak Spanish too. I really appreciate your video. You have a new subscriber. Thanks.

This is very enlightening We need more videos about comparing the dialects like this 🥰 شكرا كثير Arabic dialects

Arabic Dialects 💖 Great video! I am a new Arabic student and I am learning MSA (with Algerian dialect preference).

I was born in Brazil and I like Arab countries so I learned Classical Arabic for around 4 years and now I am learning Egyptian, Levantine and Gulf Arabic

I remember being in tunis and speaking Arabic fusha some people understood others didn't but Alhumdulillah definitely a good experience

Arabic dialects!* Keep up the good work akhi, may allah bless and increase you in knowledge!

Salaam!! This was super informative and helpful! Glad the KZfaq algorithm suggested it. I thought it might be is helpful to explain to your viewers why Somalia is on the map even though it’s not an Arab or Arabic speaking country. Somalia is part of the Arab league and it’s the only non-Arabic speaking African country in the league which can be confusing for folks but for some reason Somalia joined the league for political reasons.

I am égyptian and enjoyed watching this vidéo!

Akhi, i love your videos. May Allah SWT reward you for your efforts. I speak classical arabic, and a few dialects. My favorite is the classical because how rich it is. I like the Palestinian dialect also

I will be buying your online course next month inshallah I’m looking forward to getting started

The new series and movies than came out internationally are translated to Modern Standard Arabic or to Dialect?

أنت مبدع من النوع الاستثنائي. أسأل الله أن يحفظك ويكثر من أمثالك. مع كل الحب والتقدير سهيل العمري. سلطنة عمان. ظفار

Simply all of Arabic dialects are beautiful..but i like the Moroccan Iraqi and Syrian the most..btw i loved the video,beautifly put together and fun to watch..i enjoyed it ❤

I'm a beginning in terms of learning Arabic. The best way I'm learning the language is by using children's books with audio,and this method suites me well.

Soo true 😂😂 agree with all you said specially the sudan 🇸🇩

i really like this video and makes me more interested in arabic

I like this video very much. I am Egyptian and always tell non-arab speakers that we all speak one language. this video confirmed my belief. I can also recognize where the differences in certain words come from (in most of the cases) Thanks a lot for the video

Arabic Dialects جزاك الله خيراً علي كل ما تفعله Being from Egypt it’s amazing to have heard all of the Arabic dialects and how each is different with each background from colonizers to proximity to the Arab peninsula. I would have to agree that the closest to to MSA is the Sudanese dialect, Egypt does come a close second and I think the Sham dialect third. Love your videos keep up the amazing work!

Arabic is such an incredible broad language. I am Arabic, I speak English and French to the backbone. I still learn from Arabic

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.. very nice video

Arabic dialects Syrian dialect sounds so soft and sweet like you said haha it feels good listening to it

Great content akhi! Been waiting for this video!

Arabic Dialects! Thank you for this video!

Well done. Thanks.

I appreciate your effort to prepare this video. I've just became your subscriber haha 😄 I am learning MSA and in future my goal is to learn Lebanese dialect 😍

Salam alauikom Akhi. Algerie it's the biggest country in Africa which means there are many dialects and accents I think as a teacher you know linguistics. الكلمات المستعملة في كل اللهجات العربية مختلفة حسب المنطقة الجغرافية في البلد الواحد.

Very helpful. Shookran.

Well done to the this excellent video.

Tbh I think that the Levantes have the most understandable dialects, even though they might also be different from each other but still I think everyone understands Levantines. So if you are learning Arabic and don’t know what dialect to choose I recommend the levant since it’s easy as well

I plan on doing a bachelors in African Studies a year from now. In the first year you learn Swahili and the second year you go abroad to learn a second language. I recently decided that it had to be Arabic. After doing more research and starting with a language learning app I became a little overwhelmed and wondered if I was setting the bar too high for myself. Seeing that a non native speaker can understand all these different dialects is really inspirational. Thanks so much for the guidance you offer. I will definitely check out the webinar.

Arabic Dialects Jazakallah brother!

beautiful. THank you so much

Salaam akhi, Great content. My ancestors are originally Arab (Yemeni) but we've been living in the UK for the past 4 generations and over time we have lost our language. My main reason is to connect with my origins. We tend to visit the UAE often so I thought I should focus on the Emirati dialect. However, as you know Emiratis only make up only around 11% of the population, so it would be in vain. This video was educational and helped me to understand how I should go about learning Arabic inshaAllah. It's about time I start this journey and I'll be defo looking into your books and program. Jazakallahu khair.

The Sham (levant) part is so accurate, they speak just as you said and honestly if we were to choose the most romantic arabic dialect it must be one of them😂

I see, you did a great job to make this video

Yemeni gang where y’all attt 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

I'm from Lebanon originally and its insane how much variation of the dialect there is from Classic Beruity dialect which is understood by pretty much the entirety of the Arab world to the more rural areas of Lebanon.

This is a video which I was searching for for sooooo long jzkallahu kheir

The classical arabic fusha sounds most heartending most beautiful to the ear. As for a dialect I would say the eygptian dialect is جميل اوي Is very beautiful

Thank you so much!!!!

As-salamu alaykum brother Muhammad I’m Puerto Rican I live upstate New York Rochester I love the Yemeni Dialect Yemen is the original Arab country for all Arabs I love you from Allah may Allah bless you and your family

"Arabic Dialects" thank you for taking the time to collect and share the various dialects in the Arabic language.

The classical arabic is the most beautiful arabic in my opinion. And I'm not a Arab. But learning it made it easy to understand all the other dialects

Brilliant video 👍👍👍

“Arabic dialects” Really appreciate the time and effort that went into the video.....especially the editing

I'm from palestine🇵🇸 and I speak almost 12 accent in Arabic and I see that shami accent (palestine, Syria, lebonon, jorden) Is very easy because it's kinda soft but very clear at the same time also Egyption accent is easy too😃

Most local dialect vocabulary can be traced to classical Arabic and that's why it's still the main one. You rarely can jump between accents directly without understanding classical Arabic

Arabic Dialects! Great video!

I'm from Oman . We have different dialects in Oman and the Gulf countries are almost a little similar. ☺️🇴🇲 I liked the explanation for each accent especially the Yemeni and Saudi accents 😂😂😂

Thanks Mohammad for this video I'm a mauritanian subscriber ..thanks for staying in the country by the way we welcome you :) As a note i think our dialect was one of the closest to standard Arabic but due to the french colonial it was heavily impacted resulting in borrowing and absorbing a lot of french words which created a lot of confusion today .

I am Indian, I studied a bit of arabic from the Masjid. My exposure to arabic was during my stay in uae. My manager was a Yemeni, his arabic looked very closer to quran. Somehow, I like the shami dialect.
