Do you use the Roman alphabet at all in Arabic? I am learning Japanese at the moment and am using the Roman alphabet to write, which makes it a lot easier as I am struggling with a language that is fundamentally different from English.

hi
no we dont use roman leters
i think arabic is very difficult language to learn

 

[Tdol]

If you are writing emails,do you still use Arabic letters?;-)

 

[Tanja]

:shock: Do you have two identical letters in your alphabet??? I mean the letter "ta". How do you distinguish them?

I personaly liked the first one - as a little smiley :lol:

That's what I was interested to know,, because many languages that have their own alphabet have developed a form using the Roman alphabet for emails,etc.;-)

Hi,
I would like to answer your question about using the Arabic alphabit when writing e-mails. Yes we do, but sometimes we use the Roman letters in writing. for example, I can write "Salaam" "Marhaba"which mean "hello" and which is written in the Arabic alphabit as سلام , مرحبا. We write the sounds or actually the pronunciation.
I hope that was useful, tdol.
"ILa aliqa".إلى اللقاء...(see you)

 

[Amy]

Is there any other language similar to arabic in the world??

Because Arabic seemed to be intresting in writing and pronouncing...then any other language I know.

 

[Ayed]

Hi, Amy and all of you.

We have mono-letters but we do not write them separated .We connect them together :
for example, Latin words are written down separated but in Arabic they are connected :
For example, if I want to write the word "book" in Arabic I do the folloiwng:

the word "book" in Arabic consists of "four" letters and pronounced as"Kitab"

ك ت ا ب

كتاب

pen "a tool with which we write" pronounced as "qalam"

ق ل م

قلم

I magnified these words so as to be seen and read clearly
read from you soon.
my regards

 

[chjakhan]

very nice effort and keep it up

 

[Tdol]

The changes cuased by joining them up must make it very difficult for foreign learners to master. ;-)

 

[Francois]

Yes, it must be extremely difficult for foreign learners. It must give those with a poor sight a hell of a time, too. The result is pretty stylish though, IMO.

No, Arabic doesn't have identical letters.
In the past, there were identical letters. But during the Omyyads reign, the (dots) were added to distinguish between the similar letters. Like (ت/ ث). And a lot of spelling rules were established.

Peculiarities of Arabic Language:

1.It is a Semitic language- same as Hebrew- descending from the Phoenician (where the Alphabets originated), then Aramaic.
Alpha = /aleef/ in Phoenician .: in Arabic means pet animal.
Beta = /beit/ in Phoenician .: in Arabic means house.
Gama = /gamal/ in Phoenician .: in Arabic means camal
Delta = /delta/ in Phoenician .: in Arabic means delta
Hence, the Abjad system .: ABCD

2. It has 28 letters. 3 Vowlesأ- و- ي .

3.It is referred to as the Language of the letter Dhadلغة الضاد, because this letter/ sound is only found in Arabic language system, in the world today.

4.It is synonymous: rich in vocabulary that refers to an entity. Like the word أسد -which means lion- has a lot of synonyms like ليث- ضرغام -أسامة-سبع-حمزة

5.Phonetic: No silent letters (except /l/ See #10). The sound pronucned is written.

6.The Holy Quran (القرآن الكريم)- the holy book of Muslims- is written in Arabic, and can never be written in any other language. However, the translation of meaning of Quran is approved.

7. It shares a lot of vocabulary, and some linguistic features with many languages, due to historical, geographical, commercial and religious factors- such languages as: Persian, Turkish, Spanish and Portuguese. In addition to other languages, such as: English, French and Italian.

8.It is written from right to left.

9.The root of the words is basically three letters (morphological scale(فعل)), some words are four, some five, and six. The words can be derived to form other parts of speech or other forms of parts of speech.

10. No indefinite articles. There is only one definite article (ألـ) /al/. If the sound /l/ comes before (alef /a/- ba'a /b/- Jeem /j/-Ha'a- Kha'a- Ain- Ghin -Fa'a /f/-Qa'af -Ka'af /k/ - La'am /l/- Meem /m/- Ha'a /h/- Waw /o/ -Ya'a /e -y/), it is pronounced.

However if the sound /l/ comes before (Ta'a /t/ -Ttha'a /th/ [as in thin] - Dal /d/ -Thal /th/ [as in then] - Ra'a /r/ - Za'a /z/ - Seen /s/ - Sheen /sh/ - Sad /s/ - Dhad - Ta'a /t - Tha'a /th/ -Noon /n/), then it's NOT pronounced.
PS: the sounds in bold are pronounced with heaviness (stress) on the tongue.
