Actually, the Perso-Arabic writing system is neither Arabic nor Persian. It was originally developed by the ancient Assyrians to write down their Aramaic language. So, calling this form of writing Arabic is wrong and needs to be corrected.

Even a kid knows this. The Persians are Aryans the Arabs are Semites. When Semitic-Arabs conquered Iran the process of Semitization was initiated into the script, culture, names, etc. if not ethnically on a large scale. Yet the Persians a great civilization maintained their Aryan religious Zoroastrian past and celebrate Navroz (New Year) and Persian remains an Aryan (Indo-European) language with some Semitic words which it has picked up with the advent of Semitic-Islam. The Semites (Yehudi-Arabs) are children of Abraham (Ibrahim) Persians are surely not.

Persian here! I do want to mention that the Perso-Arabic script developed alongside the Arabic script, so it is more accurate to say they both share common origin, being the Hejazi Kufic script, making them more so "cousin scripts". They aren't entirely cousin scripts, but they sort of act like it. This is why the Persian ک looks different to the Arabic ك because they evolved separately from the Kufic script. It is generally why it is called "Perso-Arabic". Beyond that, amazing video! Subscribed!

( The Arabic alphabet was derived from the Nabataean Aramaic alphabet) Not the Arabic alphabet, but the Arabic script, that’s why they added the 6 letters that were lost from Nabataean and Aramaic alphabet. The Arabic alphabet’s 28 letters already attested and well documented in the north Arabian Safatic and Thamudic scripts, that dates back from 1000 BC, to around 200 AD. Around the 3nd century AD, the new Arabic alphabet started to appear in inscriptions.

It is fairer to say that Persian already had a writing system adopted from a Semitic language. Then, it could influence Arabic, which was going through changes to cover a wide range of cultures with different interpretations of pronunciations. So, it seems Persian influenced the Arabic script system while it was adopting it as a new writing system.

Saying "Persian is Arabic" is like saying Tibetan is Hindi( although Tibetan script bears little to no similarities with Devanagari script of Hindi), because they are derived from a common source. We Hindus use different abugidas since the 2500-2800 years to read our 5k-6k old religious Hindu literature, each abugida is completely different in shape and look, but bears similarities with Sanskrit alphabet( we call Hindy alphabets as Varnamala generally aka garland of letters). Hindi language loans a lot of Arabic/Persian words, we place a dot( Bindu in Sanskrit, Nuqta in Arabic) to the most related letter phonologically while writing that exact symbol nowadays, but since our languages originally don't have sound values for those foreign letters, we pronounce them with the closest native equivalents. For writing x in Persian, ख/kha in original Hindu/Sanskrit script changes to ख़. For writing ghayn in Arabic( idk about the sound, but Arabic speakers please confirm if its pronounced that way), we simply add a dot to घ/gha sound of Sanskrit to form घ़/ ghayn. Mind you, this is for transliteration of Muslim literature into Indian languages, but Hindus don't read about these symbols generally or don't pronounce them, because its not present in our original alphabet. Indian muslims learn Arabic/Persian in their religious schools in perso-Arabic script, so they can pronounce them.
@infinite5795
@infinite5795 Ай бұрын
But we see more of Sanskrit and Prakrit words used in our Indian languages in media, singling out Persian and Arabic words. This is all due to Nativisation efforts, personally I don't see anything wrong in this. Native equivalents must be cherished before anything and this has nothing to do with enmity via religion, but even European words are discouraged while writing in Hindu scripts aka Abugidas/lipis. More old words are brought to circulation that way.

They are indeed :) According to the (current) classification, Arabic is derived from the Nabatean script, which itself originates from the Aramaic script. So does Pahlavi. Now, as you will see in the comments, many argue the Persians are to be credited for the Arabic script too. This does not align with the info I aggregated for the video on the origins of the Arabic script. This being said, I appreciate these are merely hypotheses and nothing is set in stone, at least for now. However, the Persians did greatly contribute to the development of the script as it is today, including the dots. The only thing I can say is that in all geographically close areas, a continuum of influences will always exist. Thank you for your nice comment.

Yeah, there are lots of similarities in vocabulary, especially in basic words referring to family members. Here are some examples~ mother: mâdar, father: pedar, brother: barâdar, daughter: doxtar I was amazed by how similar these words are to english. Also, since Old Persian and Avestan are Iranian languages, they are rlly similar to the Indo-aryan languages in vocabulary. Compare the words above to Sanskrit mā́tṛ (mother), bhrā́tṛ (brother) and so on I'm currently learning farsi and a lot of it is very easy for me bc of the similarities with Hindi and Urdu, which i can understand. But ofc most of these similarities are due to borrowings from Persian. Not everything is a borrowing tho, such as the numbers, which are very familiar to anyone who knows Hindi/urdu. It's always fascinating to see how similar numbers are to each other in indo-european languages, since they're (for the most part) all inherited from the same set in PIE

The Pahlavi script was in use as late as 9th century. We have text and artifacts. The arabic scripture of 7th century was neither unified nor organised. Plus each region used something of their own. The organisation and unification of the alphabet for islamic caliphate was done by the administrative scribes who were writing everything in Pahlavi still, they would start giving shape to the alphabet by implementing stuff from Aramaic and Pahlavi. Eventually Sibawayh, a Persian scholar of 8th century who reorganized and wrote down the grammar and basically made the language and alphabet work so that it could actually spread. The alphabet was persofied and started being used by Iranians around late 8th century.

Like چ (ch) sometimes as تش it exists in a lot of dialects like iraqi/gulf and Maghrebi arabic... as for گ (g) It is found in almost all dialects : in gulf/ Yemeni its ق or ج , in Egyptian it's ج, and in Moroccan it's ڭے/ڭ and algerian i's ڤ. As for ژ (dj) , دج or just ج in msa It is an original sound in Classical/standard Arabic, contrary to what some people think. Therefore, we find it widespread in some dialects, such as Najdi, and also some Maghrebi dialects.As for پ( p), it is found in some few Arabic dialects in its native form. In the dialect of northern Morocco and also in some Iraqi dialects.. while ڤ (v) ,( "و" in Persian), is the only sound that is not found in any common Arabic dialect natively, and I still do not know whether it is found in Maltese, Cypriot, or the dialects of Central Asia.

Many of those dialects adopted those sounds from either Persian, or other non Arab languages in close proximity. Take the name of the famous dish کله پاچه for instance which is a Persian word but also known and used by Iraqis and other Arabs since they also eat the dish. When talking about Arabic, we must consider the classical form that is found in historical literature since thats the formal version and the version that the Arabs historically spoke (or atleast much closer to it). Classical Arabic contains neitherچ، پ، ژ، گ، since these sounds are not native to it. Other Semitic languages contain some of these sounds but not Arabic. Additionally, i think you are misunderstanding what ژ sounds like. ژ sounds like the French Je, also how some chinese names like zheung are pronounced. This sound is not existent in classical Arabic, or any Arabic for that matter.

​​​​​​​@@Alborzhakimi7010​ I know that when the Arabic language is mentioned, it is generally meant the modern literary standard Arabic, which was derived from Qur’anic classical Arabic.I just wanted to inform the people that many of these sounds are found in modern spoken dialects of it .and thank you for clarifying the misunderstanding in which I thought that “ ژ” means "dj". But I still don't understand the difference between it and "j" (ج), Is it a softer version of it? and Yes, you are right that must of these sounds are not native to the original language and are a result of contact and influence from other languages, but the “گ” sound (also چ maybe) is definitely a natural development of the Arabic language, as there are Isolated dialects that close to classical Arabic within the Arabian Peninsula that have that sound, such as Yemeni. This natural shift occurred because in some dialects, the "ق" was found difficult to pronounce, so it became "گ", and also the same thing happened to the "ج" in some other dialects, as it became "گ".Also, when I said that the “p” is natively present in a few spoken Arabic dialects, i meant by it that it was not because of loanwords (Like the example you gave, and by the way, I didn't know it because I am not an Iraqi or a Gulfian ) , but rather by some native Arabic words in which the "b" is turn into a "p" for example "təpchi" (تپچي) in iraqi from "tabki" in MSA which means (She cries /You cry) or "mpaɛzən" (مپعزن) in northern Moroccan which means "arrogant".In this case, this is certainly the accent influence of languages other than Arabic, such as Persian, Kurdish, and Aramaic for Iraqi. As for northern Morocco, this change is due to Latin, Punic, and also Old Spanish.

@@yassineanassine7905 thanks for your response. In regards to the ژ, the formal name for the phoneme is the “voiced postalveolar fricative” so you can google it if you want to hear it. After some research I found out that the phoneme does actually exist in the Maghrebi and Hejazi Arabic dialects. From what I read, it seems like the Maghrebi dialect borrowed the ژ phoneme from French, and the Hejazi dialect got it from Persian. Also, those examples you provided of native Arabic words in which other phonemes get replaced by پ، گ، چ، ژ are very interesting. Are those colloquial forms of pronunciation of those words (meaning only used by youth or adults when talking to close friends or family) or are they used whenever speaking in that specific Arabic dialect?

I recently saw a discussion online if the Persian language uses the same or a different alphabet than Arabic. I had no idea, and now I have learned the answer, Thanks. I suppose it is like the difference between the variations of the latin alphabet, to which many languages added some letters and diacritics to it to make it fit more their phonems. Like ß, ä, ë, ü for German, ð, þ for Icelandic, ç, é, è.. etc. for French, ž,š,č,ř,ď,ť,ň,á,é,í,ó,ú,ů for Czech.

At the beginning of the emergence of the Aramaic alphabet, this happened in the borders of ancient Iran. And it is one of the things that the ancient Iranians made and presented to the world. In addition, the alphabets that we now know as the Arabic script were developed by the efforts of the Iranian scientist Borzouyeh and placed in the hands of the dear Arab-speaking people.

Persians have greatly contributed to the development of the script and even helped shape the Arabic grammar in its written form. However, if the Kuffic script is originally from Persian, how did it develop (not in a vaccum presumably since the Persians were using the Pahlavi scripts...)? As for the fact that Arabic was not a written language before Islam, several inscriptions contradict this hypothesis. 15minutehistory.org/podcast/episode-107-the-yazid-inscription/ In areas that are so geographically close, most things work in terms of "continuum". All cultures give and take to respond to the historical necessities of the times. And, at this point in History, it's important to remain humble as many things are yet to be discovered.

Can someone who’s native language is Arabic answer my question please? How is it possible that in Arabic there are 4 missing letters that are very common in Farsi and many other languages; These letters are G (گ), P (پ), Ch (چ), and J (ژ)? So it means Arabic never had a word with P or G? Is it even possible? How do you pronounce international words such as Park, Google, Check? Do you change the word completely (make a new word in Arabic) or just replace the letter to another one? For example what is the word for “Google”? Is it a completely new word or is it like “Kookle” for example since there is no G? It’s very difficult for me to understand how these letters are missing in Arabic because as I said they are very common in other languages specifically the letters of P and G are very common in most of the words in Farsi, English, German, etc.

We can write it in our Arabic alphabet and we do not need to import Persian letters None of the Arabs write the letter “چ” except for the Iraqis and Kuwaitis, due to their close proximity to Iran. As for the rest of the Arab world, they do not use it, but rather use the letter “تش” The letter "g" is the same as the letter "ق".

They love us and we love them. They are one of us. They are helping Arabs to liberate from foreign domination but we miss interpret their goals. I hope to visit Iran before I expire.

Most of Arabic scholars were Iranians . Iranians used eloquence of Arabic language to enrich the sensual language i Of Farsi .the literature of Persian language would not be as enriched and beautiful without Arabic mixture

This clip is entirely misinformation! Current Persian language alphabet has evolved from the Iranian Pahlavic alphabet.

Did Iranic languages even use 'alphabets'? I can't tell if you mean any script in general or if you are implying the old Iranic languages were arranged in a similar way to Greek.

Why do we call it Arabic when its literally Aramaic and was perfected by Persians?
@200555280

Because Aramaic alphabet is different. Arabic used Aramaic alphabet and modified it but it’s not the same. Arabic reader cant read Aramaic scripts.

I don't think saying Persian script derived from arabic is accurate...the extra letter found in farsi are also used in many different arabic dialects...in the ild time arabic was not the classic arabic we know today they were like dialects some of them had those extra letters some didn't...and the the alphabet they established that had 28 letters was just conventional to be the best because it was unnecessary to have extra letters that only few minorities used ... Like the soung /g/ ڨ we just write it as ق or ڨ گ even that ڨ گ are not conventionally in the arabic alphabet yet most of us already know people use them and therefore understand them ..also the sound / p / is not present in the arabic alphabet yet most of us can pronounce it and we have it in our dialects especially north africans they can speak any language perfectly... So it's more about who was in charge of making the rules they often do not know about other tribes abd dialects...you know harsh desert vast land there were many people living without the ruler knowing about them And what I like about Persians is that they are nice and. They don't feel bad or get offended when someone tells that that script is arabic script...they are proud of themselves

I don't understand you. Persian writing came from Arabic, that's obvious, you can look at their earlier writing systems to compare. I think you might be confusing something between writing systems and phonology, it's very common for a language to add symbols for itself when it adopts a writing system from another language.

Persian languages derived from classic arabic (quranic arabic). There is no /g/ sound, Because of this /g/ is written like گ, k-g. B-p, z-zh

Adding letters in the Latin/Roman alphabets doesn't stop them from being Latin/Roman so I don't understand why simply adding few extra letters by basically adding extra dots to some existing letters the writing system will stop being Arabic. Calling modified Arabic script as Persian doesn't make sense, at best Perso-Arabic seems fine.
