As an Algerian, lebanese sounds very tender and melodic to us (I guess other arabic speakers relate). Definitely my favorite arabic dialect/language. Btw, many of the features that were presented as common in the Levant and Egypt are also present in the Maghreb, like the word for "yesterday" being "L-bare7" (though we can say also "ames/yames" which is similar to MSA's "Al-Ams") and using the word "lazem" to express obligation.
@Ahmed-pf3lg Рік тому
These featuree are also common in Hijazi Arabic spoken in western Saudi Arabia. In reality these features are common for the “urban” Arabs in general, the ones who were living in the major/capital cities of the Arab world such as Damascus, Cairo, Baghdad, Mecca, Medina, etc.. all have some similarities in that regard.

For me, the dialect that is probably hardest to understand is from your part of the world. It’s absolutely beautiful, but there are so many loan words from other languages. By the way, in very high, poetic and literary Hebrew the word for yesterday is אמש, pronounced emmesh, which is, of course cognate for the word yesterday in فصحى

This was extremely well done. It is also worth noting that in the Arab world, the Lebanese dialect is considered very "westernized" for lack of a better term. Probably because we interject a lot of English and French into our everyday lives, but Lebanese Arabic does have a much more relaxed flow pattern.

And Russia is not actually Slavic. It's Scandinavian and Asiatic. Ethnicity is not static. It's very very fluid and plastic. We were so many things in the past as most peoples of the earth were. But today we are Arabs. Any adoption of an exclusive identity of the past is not only based on fractional/segmented readings of history but is fascist. Stop making identity discrete. Plus, it doesn't even matter what we are today. No one is celebrating "national" identities. We're celebrating Arabic as a language. And we are Arabic speakers. If you are completely ignorant on how a spoken language can unite a set of peoples then go get some common sense.

As a Lebanese person born and raised in Lebanon, and a teacher of this fascinating dialect, I can say without a doubt that you nailed it, Paul! Bravo 3alek! 😊 Just one tiny mistake, the ج in MSA is never pronounced as "dzh", just a regular French j like in the word "bonjour".
@abdellahaddoud6254 Рік тому
I think Paul has a point in this, because according to colloquial scholars the most "fusha" way to pronounce ج is "Dj", I think only algerian dialect got i from the fusha :) that's why algerians call their country "Djzair / جزاير" which becomes often "Dzair / دزاير" و " . Another exemple is the word "Bezzaf" which comes from "Bi -djuzaf" and Djuzaf (جزاف) means " large quantities"

Lebanese here!! I speak Lebanese Arabic with a neutral Beirut accent specifically, and I really wasn't expecting a video on that, so happy to see it!!! Just a quick note, as far as I know, the ج is not pronounced "dj" in Modern Standard, it's the same pronunciation as Lebanese. It's really sad that many kids over here (myself included in the past 😅) hate speaking Arabic, mostly because teachers at school make it not fun, so I really want to help maintain our dialect (I mean, not that it's in any real sort of danger, but).

No, in MSA and Classical Arabic is pronounced as "dj", to be honest, it's not exactly as English "dj" sound in words like Jump. the d is slightly lighter in Arabic but it exists. So that's why you didn't notice that.

@bahaawad5859 Рік тому
As the homies stated above, the jeem makes a -dj- sound; its especially obvious when there is a double jeem (shaddah) and definite article, think of the word الجّزائر، الجَّمال , algiereans i think call their country الدزاير(algerians please correct me if wrong) (( dont quote me but i read that its a type of sound i think called "glottal stop???"

Nice video. Would like to clarify as an Egyptian Copt that Christians in general call Jesus Yasoo3 in Arabic. We have our own version(compared to the Islamic ones) for many of the names of Biblical figures and those are inspired by Aramaic. For example, John which is Yu7anna, meaning John, whom Muslims in Arabic will call Ya7ya, or Younan, meaning Jonah whom Muslims will call Yunis etc
@epchoisnainan1110 Рік тому
More similarities with Egyptian Arabic, the most widely spoken Arabic dialect, I noticed from just this video 1. replacing qaaf with a glottal stop 2. Replacing th with t and dh with d 3.use of foreign words such as oda(room) piscine(pool). Merci is also often used. Although shukran is more common 4.Raa7(to go) 5. Using 2idir for “can” although we pronounce it 2ader 6. Saying byekol for he is eating(although we don’t add 3am before it) 7.you(m) being inta and you(f) being inte 8. 2ishtaghal meaning to work 9. Negating equational sentences with mish 10.for “did you see charbel yesterday?” we say “shofto charbel mbari7?”, same sentence order and vocabulary as Lebanese as compared to formal Arabic

(I'm Lebanese) a couple things I would like to add to this video (which was excellent btw): The "country"areas of Lebanon, like mountain village my mother come from, have some significant differences to other parts of Lebanon, especially Beirut and it's surroundings. They're like opposites in a spectrum ranging from Cockney to Posh English respectively... Or Alabaman to Californian. For example, the country side still uses the interdental fricatives as in MSA. They also sound a little harsher in ways I can't describe in text lol. We use the term "msh" to negate anything, even when other accents would use maa. This comment is too long so I'll stop there lol sorry

Inter-dental fricatives are pronounced only in some villages mainly in Southern Lebanon. People living in rural areas in the rest of the country are unable to pronounce these fricatives. They learn how to pronounce them when they study MSA at school. Even educated people often mispronounce fricatives when reading a text in MSA.

Hello. I am Lebanese. I speak the Lebanese dialect, and MSA is one the first two languages l was taught at school, the other being French. This is a very accurate video , most of the aspects of the divergence between spoken Lebanese and MSA are well covered. I was fascinated how the 2 aspects of my native language were analysed and quantified. There are however other used forms in spoken Lebanese . Example: At time marker 15:20, "He's not a teacher" can also be said "manno istéz" in Lebanese. = [ ma ( negation) + innahu ( MSA) ] istèz. Respects for this beautiful piece of work.
@baraa2020 Рік тому
Syrian dialect is extremely close to Lebanese (especially Damascene dialect) But we tend to use way less French and English loan words, and "Alef ا" is generally pronounced like Alef, while in lebanese tend to be closer to E. We also use "mo" instead of "mish" as negation, derived from MSA (ما هو) (not he) Other than that everything checks out the same, both are very understandable and easy to learn dialects in the Arab world along side the Egyptian dialect

Excellent video, allow me please to add and clarify: -Lebanese dialect, especially in the mountian areas, is heavily influenced by Syriac (an Aramaic dialect) due to the Maronite heritage [interesting fact: the first printing press in the Arabic world was in Lebanon and used Syriac alphabet to print Arabic, "karchuni"] -more on the coastal areas we find an influence of byzantine Greek due to the orthodox heritage as well as some Moroccan influence due to some 18th 19th century migrations and relocations to the Levant -there's also some old Italian words as Lebanon maintained close relations with the Venice Republic. -french influence is found even earlier than the French mandate after ww1, and that's because of the French missionaries starting mainly in the 19th century.

I'm an American who grew up in Lebanon long ago. I learned Arabic mainly on the playground and street. In Beirut, it was harder to learn Arabic because most kids I was around knew English much better than I knew Arabic, and communication generally takes the path of least resistance. I also lived outside of Beirut, where neighbor kids studied French instead of English. Since I didn't know French, we spoke Arabic and I learned more in one year than I did 6 years in Beirut! I took Arabic and French classes, but I'm still pretty illiterate in Arabic. I never got to the point of understanding MSA. I don't have anyone to speak arabic with these days. You've got to keep it up or you'll forget.

Superb video! In response to your question at end of the video: I always think one of the most unique features of Levantine Arabic is how we express that we 'have done' something as opposed to 'did' something. The expression of this does not take a verb tense but a rather a verb form that implies a state of being, and can often have the additional implication that that action is still ongoing. (You did touch on the verb form I'm talking about when you gave the example 'ana raye7 3a ddekéne' in your video), but in that example, it was used to express a present continuous action. For example, if I want to express that I have prepared/made some food (and there is still some food left), I would use the form of the verb that indicates a state of being (ex: أنا مْحَضِّر أَكِل or أنا عامِل أكِل ). I could also use the simple past tense of the verb to express that I 'made food,' but it lacks the additional implication that there is still food left. I don't know if there are other languages that also use a state of being to imply that 'something has been done and is still ongoing,' but as far as the languages I am familiar with, it is always expressed using a particular verb tense.

There is an interesting story about Aramaic pronounciation influence on the Lebanese dialect, this a professor once told us university here in Lebanon. When the Arabic language was becoming the norm in the centuries after the Islamic conquests and Aramaic was dying out, it became a sort of status symbol to speak Aramaic or to speak Arabic with an Aramaic accent, the most prominent of these features is the slanted 'Eh' sound (as in Fina Ni7ke). Arabic doesn't have this, all vowels are pronounced fully (aa/ee/oo). The last full Aramaic speakers lived in Tripoli, and the closer you get to the city today, the more pronounced that Eh becomes in people's dialects.

The Turkish “aferin” is actually a direct borrowing from Persian. In Persian, “aferin” also means bravo but it is also derived from the verb “aferidan” which means “to create”. So, “aferin” is a word of encouragement and appreciation for someone who has created or accomplished something. BTW, “aferidegar” which is yet another derivation from the same verb means “creator” and is often used in reference to “God the Creator”. Like most borrowed words, “aferin” has no root words in Turkish. It’s just a borrowed expression.
