Abdul Azeez Mohamed Faiz - November 29, The first complete dictionary of the Arabic language was composed by Al-Khalil, who had also been involved in the reform of the Arabic script and who is generally acclaimed as the inventor of the Arabic metrical theory.
Showing of 16, Quranic Arabic is also called classical Arabic. For example, I dunno is rarely written, except for special effect, and I do not know is rarely used in speech. Americans, Britons, and Australians learn to understand each other's accents merely by being exposed to them. With its long history, rich heritage, and wide geographical distribution, Arabic naturally encompasses greater variation in its written and spoken forms than English.
These differences present challenges to native speakers as well as to students of Arabic. You will need to learn some pronunciation variation, but these are easy to learn with listening practice. Sometimes you will need to learn two different words for the same concept. However, the more Arabic you learn, the more you will see that the overwhelming body of vocabulary and expressions are shared among most or all forms of Arabic.
Arabic consists of two registers, formal and spoken. Formal Arabic, also called Modern Standard or Classical Arabic, is learned in school rather than at home and is more a written than an oral register. It is highly respected and constitutes the "intellectual" register of Arabic.
It is impossible to speak about topics of public interest, such as politics, economics, or even popular culture without using the vocabulary of formal Arabic.
Hence, you will hear formal Arabic on news broadcasts and in other public contexts. However, educated speakers will often mix formal and spoken forms even in formal situations, because interacting with others in formal Arabic can seem impersonal.
However, some variations are social and might signal class or sectarian identity, whereas, others distinguish rural and urban communities. The greatest variation in spoken Arabic is found in the most commonly used words in daily life, and what we call "accent"—the way certain sounds especially vowels are pronounced and words are stressed. For some examples of the similarities and differences in spoken Arabic, listen to four different regional varieties in Listening Exercise 2.
Listening Exercise 2. Dialect variation in Arabic At home Listen to the sample phrases from four different dialects of Arabic. You will hear "good morning," "how are you? Which sound completely different?
To be fluent in Arabic, you must have control of both the formal and spoken registers, including the mix that naturally occurs in academic and other intellectual discussions. As you learn more and more Arabic, you will see that the majority of words and structures are shared among varieties and registers, and you will learn to transfer knowledge from one variety to another. In this textbook program we will introduce both formal and spoken forms of Arabic. The interactive media contain Egyptian dialogues filmed in Cairo and Levantine dialogues filmed in Damascus.
In addition, the vocabulary and expressions that these dialogues contain are presented in Egyptian, Levantine, and formal Arabic. There are no dialogues in formal Arabic because this register is not used for social interaction in real life. The materials thus permit both learners and instructors to choose the variety they want to activate.
Listening to two or even to all three forms will help you understand more Arabic, but with the guidance of your instructor, you should choose one variety as the one you will learn to use actively. In this way you will build both recognition and production skills. Both skills are important, and distinguishing between words you will recognize and those you will actively use will make the wealth of material more manageable.
A Transliteration System It takes about twenty-five class hours plus at least fifty homework hours to master the Arabic alphabet and sound system introduced in this curriculum. We want you to spend a lot of this time learning and practicing basic greetings and expressions so that you can start speaking right away.
We have devised a simplified system that we use for words that you cannot write in Arabic because you have not yet learned all the letters in them. We recommend that you learn and use this system unless you are a trained linguist and have another system you prefer.
However, using transliteration should be a temporary, transitional stage. You should start writing words in Arabic script as soon as you learn all the letters. It will take longer to write words using Arabic script at first, but using it is the only way to develop proficiency in reading and writing, and with practice your writing speed will pick up. The key to a good transliteration system is that each different sound should have its own unique symbol. Contrast this to English spelling, in which one letter represents many sounds, like s in sun, prism, and treasure, or one sound can be represented by different letters, like the sound f, also spelled gh in laugh and ph in philosophy.
English vowel sounds and spellings are particularly fraught with ambiguities: the u in but sounds quite different from the u in duty, and o sounds quite different in dot, one, OK, and office. English uses the combination th to spell two different sounds, whereas these are distinct letters in Arabic.
The following exercise will help you learn to distinguish these two sounds and learn to separate sound from English spelling. Drill 1. Differentiating the th sounds At home Distinguish between the sound th in the word three and th in the word other.
These are two different sounds, and in Arabic they are written with different letters. Look at the list of words and repeat each one out loud several times to determine whether th sounds like three or that, and assign the word to the appropriate box. The technologies of texting and chatting mean that more and more Arabic speakers are communicating in Arabic with Latin script, and new transliteration patterns are emerging that include numerals.
Can you see why the following correspondences have become popular? We developed this system to be simple, and the main difference between it and other systems is that it uses uppercase letters rather than dots and symbols to represent emphatic sounds, and we use doubled vowels aa, ee, ii, oo, and uu to represent long vowels.
Listen to the pronunciation of letters on the alphabet videos again as you go through the consonant sounds in the first chart below. Consonants: Transliteration symbol Arabic Transliteration symbol Arabic and sound letter and sound letter Z as in zip 3 as in bet as in sip t as in tip C. Formal Arabic has only three vowel sounds that are normally represented as a, i, and ti, and each can be short or long. However, spoken Arabic has an expanded system that includes two additional vowel qualities, which we will indicate with e and o.
In addition, Levantine pronunciation sometimes uses a schwa sound, which we will indicate with the schwa symbol, a, which indicates a very short, unstressed vowel sound. Arabic distinguishes between short and long vowel sounds, and we will indicate length by repeating the vowel, as the chart shows. Pay particular attention to vowel sounds because they help you to distinguish emphatic consonants from their nonemphatic counterparts.
The only words that are transliterated are those that contain letters you have not yet learned. Remember that transliteration does not take the place of listening to the vocabulary on the interactive media. By listening and re- peating new words several times, you will learn them well.
Drill 2. Reading in transliteration In class The words in the following list are names of places you should be familiar with. With a partner, sound them out and identify as many as you can.
Where is Arabic spoken? At home The map shows countries where Arabic is the main language of education and where it is widely spoken in everyday life.
You will see the names of the Arab countries and their capitals in English. Listen to the audio to hear the name and capital of each country in Arabic, and choose ten to write out using our transliteration system. Morocco Rabat Lebanon Beirut 2. Mauritania Nouakchott Syria Damascus 3. Algeria Algiers Iraq Baghdad 4.
Tunisia Tunis Kuwait Kuwait 5. Libya Tripoli Saudi Arabia Riyadh 6. Egypt Cairo Qatar Doha 7. Sudan Khartoum Bahrain Manama 8. Somalia Mogadishu United Arab Emirates Abu Dhabi 9. Jordan Amman Oman Muscat Vocabulary is presented in the interactive media as well as in the book. You will refer to the vocabulary list in the book from time to time, but it is essential that you first learn it by using the interactive media so that you can hear and copy accurate pronunciation.
You will remember vocabulary more readily if you repeat it out loud several times rather than read silently or listen passively. A good rule of thumb is to say each word out loud as many times as it takes to make it feel comfortable in your mouth and for you to be able to "hear" yourself say it. Egyptian and Levantine Colloquial The decision to include three varieties of Arabic in these materials rests on our conviction that competence in Arabic necessarily entails mastery of both spoken and formal registers.
We have chosen Egyptian and Levantine because they are the most widely understood dialects across the Arab world. Levantine is a collection of dialects with many local flavors, but the pronunciation differences are small compared with the large amount of shared vocabulary and structure.
The "flavor" of Levantine that you will hear in the dialogues is that of Damascus. Egyptian is represented by the dialect of Cairo, which is well-known from the films and music from the largest entertainment industry in the Arab world. Each vocabulary chart contains three columns: formal, Levantine colloquial or shaami , and Egyptian colloquial or maSri. The shaami and maSri words are indicated in different colors throughout the materials. Our intention is for you to choose one spoken variety to master, but you might want to listen to the other dialect once to develop passive comprehension and recognition skills.
You will notice that most of the words you will learn are shared among all three varieties, sometimes with a slight shift in accent or a vowel. You will soon develop a sense of the characteristics that identify each dialect. For Egyptian, these include the hard g sound in place of the j of other dialects, and a distinctive accent pattern that emphasizes the second-to-last syllable.
Levantine dialects are distinguished by a final e vowel sound on certain nouns and adjectives where other dialects have a, and their own distinctive intonation. Choose one greeting and prepare to use it in class, and prepare to introduce yourself to others. Lr" my name - - z.. AA the city of We recommend that you choose one to learn actively, though you may choose to watch both varieties for the exposure and for comprehension practice. It is important to study the vocabulary from these dialogues before watching them, and to watch them at home before coming to class.
The dialogues have three purposes: a to give you some speech models to imitate so you can start speaking; b to show you some aspects of polite interaction in Arab culture; and c to develop listening comprehension skills that you will use in class and in the real world, skills that help you understand what people are saying without knowing all the words they are using.
You will find instructions for steps to take as you listen to these dialogues, and these steps are meant to help you reactivate and exploit the same listening strategies you used subconsciously to learn your native language. Each time you listen, you will get more out of the dialogue, especially if you set some specific goals and expectations for each "listen" "listen," as usual, here is meant as a step; you will find it helpful to listen more than once at each stage, especially in the beginning.
The final listen should take place after you have understood all you can, and it is the "activation" listen, in which you pay attention not to what is being said because you presumably already know that , but rather on how it is being said, in pronunciation, vocabulary, and structure. In this activity, which should take place in class, you are preparing to use material from the dialogue in your own interactions with your classmates.
Drill 4 below introduces the first dialogue. For this time only, listen to it in class with your instructor. Scene 1: Ahlan wa sahlan Formal and Colloquial In class In scene 1, people from across the Arab world introduce themselves. There are two versions, one formal Arabic and one spoken Arabic. Choose one to start with and watch it several times according to the following steps: 1. Before listening, ask yourself, "What do I expect to hear?
First listen: Listen to see if your expectations are met. What do you hear? Second listen: Which greetings do you recognize? Third listen: What kinds of information do the speakers give? How do they express it, and what do you notice about the phrasing? Fourth listen: Activate some of what you learned by introducing yourself to some of your classmates. After you have understood and activated the variety you chose to begin with, listen to the other variety.
What similarities and differences do you notice? The same principle also applies to a loosely defined "space" that someone regularly occupies, such as an outdoor work area or a guard's position outside a building.
When you enter a space that is occupied, you must say hello. Whether or not you greet a guard or shopkeeper as you pass by depends primarily on your gender. In general, women do not say hello to men they do not know if they are not conducting business with them. Practice polite behavior by always saying hello to anyone in the room when you enter your Arabic class. J1 Unit Two In this unit: Consonants Alif has two functions, the first of which will be introduced here, and the second will be discussed in unit 3.
Here we are concerned with its function as a long vowel whose pronunciation ranges in sound from the e in bet to the a in bat to the u in but. Say these three words aloud and notice the difference in the quality of the vowels: the first is pronounced in the front of the mouth, the second slightly lower, and the last low in the mouth.
The pronunciation of alif has a similar range; we refer to these differences in pronunciation as vowel quality. Two factors influence the vowel quality of alif: regional dialect and surrounding consonants.
In the eastern regions of the Arab world such as the Arabian Peninsula and Iraq, the sound of alif is generally deeper, similar to father, whereas farther west, especially in North Africa, it tends to be frontal and at times it approximates the sound of e in bet. You will notice this regional variation when you interact with Arabic speakers from different countries. The other reason for variation in the quality of alif has to do with surrounding consonants. Arabic has several "emphatic" consonant sounds that are pronounced farther back in the mouth, and these consonants deepen the sound of a neighboring alif so that it resembles the u in but.
Learning to discern and produce this difference in vowel quality will help you understand, speak, and write Arabic accurately. The following exercises will get you started, but remember to keep paying attention to vowel quality as you work through this book.
Frontal and deep alif At home To hear the frontal and deep variants of alif, listen to the following pairs of words by clicking on them. The first word in each pair contains a frontal alif that contrasts with the deep alif in the second. Listen to and repeat these sounds aloud several times until you can hear the difference clearly and produce it. These deeper sounds are often called emphatic consonants, and they affect the pronunciation of surrounding vowel sounds.
Listening for the difference between frontal and deep alif is the best way to distinguish between emphatic and nonemphatic consonants. We will discuss this point in more depth in unit 5, when you begin to learn the emphatic letters. Hearing frontal and deep alif At home Each word you will hear contains an alif. Say the word aloud as you listen to it and decide whether the alif is frontal or deep.
Select F if the alif is frontal and D if it is deep. D F In addition to vowel quality, Arabic also distinguishes vowel length, and this too can affect the meaning of a word. In Listening Exercise 1, you can hear that the alif is a long vowel. In the very last word, DHaalim, you can hear the contrast in vowel length between the long alif in the first syllable and the short vowel i in the second.
Notice that the stress or word accent in DHaalim is on the first syllable, the one with alif. Long vowels attract word stress in Arabic. We will practice hearing and pronouncing this distinction later in this unit. Writing L L I 1 The letters above are, from right to left, the independent, initial, medial, and final shapes of the letter alif.
In this section you will learn to write the various shapes of the letter alif. Watch calligrapher and professor of Arabic Sayyid El-Shinnawi write the shapes of alif as you read and write this section, and learn to draw the letters using the same hand motions he does. Practice on the blank lines below, copying the example on the first line, pronouncing alif as you write it as many times as you can in the space provided: When the alif follows another letter, it is written from the bottom up.
The previous letter will end in a connecting segment drawn on the line. Start with that segment, then draw the alif from the bottom up as shown: 0 In both cases the alif does not connect to what follows it. Always pick your pen up from the page after writing alif. Now practice reading alif by circling all of the alifs you can find in the following sentence taken from Nights : J J-c[.
This con- sonant lends a frontal quality to vowels. LA— 3. CAA', 6. Watch Professor El-Shinnawi write the shapes of this letter as you read and write this section, and imitate his hand movements. Unlike alit, this is a connecting letter, which means that it connects to any letter following it in the same word.
The main parts of the letter, the initial tooth and the dot beneath the body, remain constant in all four shapes. Compare the independent and final shapes, and note that both end in a second tooth.
Think of this tooth as the "tail" of the letter positions because the letter L. It is not written in initial and medial always connects to the following letter in those cases. When written alone, this letter takes the independent shape shown above. Following the steps shown in the example on the first line below, trace the letter with your pencil a few times, and then write it. First, write the body: from right to left, begin with a small hook, then continue straight along the line and end with another hook for the tail.
After you have finished the body, place the dot below the letter as shown you can associate the sound b with the dot below the letter. When writing this and other connecting dotted letters, you should place the dot more or less in vertical alignment with the initial tooth of the letter.
The exact length of the body and placement of the dot may vary somewhat according to the style of the hand- writing or print font; study the various styles you see and imitate the one that suits you.
Now write the first two letters of the alphabet joined together: L. Do not pick. Copy the example and pronounce it aloud: When This will become clearer when you learn a few more letters. Copy the example: 4. Practice writing this word by copying the example shown below, pronouncing it out loud as you write. Remember: Do not stop to dot the letters until you have finished the skeletal structure of the entire word.
As you work through this book, remember to pronounce the words and expressions you write out loud as you write them, preferably more than once. Develop the habit of writing and saying words out loud simultaneously rather than writing silently. This practice helps to reinforce the connection between sound and shape, to build reading skills, and to memorize vocabulary faster. How many different ways do you pronounce t? Read the following list aloud the way you would normally pronounce the words when speaking bottle, teeth, automatic.
Of these words, most American speakers pronounce the t in teeth forward in the mouth, against the back of the teeth. This is the correct position of the tongue and not the flap of the tongue you use to produce bottle and automatic for the pronunciation of this Arabic sound.
Arabic C. Listening Exercise 3. Pronouncing C.. Pay attention to the position of your tongue as you do so and notice the frontal quality of the vowels.
Ca 1J 3. Vji 4. This letter has the same shapes as the V in all positions, and it is also a con- nector. Instead of one dot underneath, however, it is written with two dots above its body C. In printed text the two dots are separated, as you see. In handwriting, however, they are often run together into a short horizontal bar this depends in part on individual practice. Try to write two dots quickly and you will see how this handwriting form developed.
Practice writing the independent C. Light a match, hold it in front of your mouth, and say, "Peter, Tom, and Kirk went to town.
Arabic sounds do not have aspiration, so practice saying t and k with a lit match in front of your mouth until you can pronounce them without making the flame flicker. Practice writing C.. Dictation At home Watch the video and listen, then write the words you hear below. Watch as many times as necessary. Do not associate this sound with the English letters th, because the English spelling represents two quite distinct sounds, each of which has an Arabic equivalent.
In unit 1 you practiced distinguish- ing between. The letter C. Remember this by reminding yourself. Listening to V At home Listen to the sound of the letter 6 in the following words and repeat. Contrasting th and dh At home Listen to the difference between the sound V and the sound S dh in the following words. Listen to each pair several times until you can hear the difference clearly.
Note also the frontal quality of both sounds. Watch Professor El-Shinnawi write C. Notice that he connects the three dots as a caret. In print the three dots appear as you see above but in handwriting the three dots are usually connected and written as a caret-shaped mark which can be slightly rounded as shown in the example below. Practice writing and saying independent C.. A Write final CA— : by copying the word kt..
Word recognition At home Listen to the audio to hear a word, then decide which of the two words in each pair that you heard and select that word. You have learned the first four letters of the Arabic alphabet. The next letters in sequence will be presented in unit 3. Now we will skip ahead to the other two long vowels and the symbols for the corresponding short vowels 3 uu This letter represents the second of the three long vowels in Arabic.
It is pronounced like the exclamation of delight: ! Practice saying this sound and stretch it out, just like you would say the exclamation. Don't be afraid to exaggerate vowel length—it will help you get used to thinking about vowel length. Remember that the pronunciation of 9 like that of alif, should be twice as long as normal English vowels. Listening to and pronouncing 9 At home Listen to and repeat the words containing 9.
Give its full length in pronunciation. Writing 3- 3- 3 3 Like alif, this letter does not connect to any following letter, and therefore its shapes do not vary much.
To write independent or initial 9, start on the line, loop clockwise to the left and up, then swing down into the tail, which should dip well below the line. Watch Professor El-Shinnawi and copy the example: o When writing 9 connected to a previous letter, the joining segment leads into the beginning point of the loop. Copy the example: Now practice writing and pronouncing the word ". J O Drill 4. Re- member that this is a long vowel; pronounce this sound for twice as long as you would pronounce ee in words like beep, street.
Practice by imitating the sound of a honking car horn: beeeeep! Exaggerate it to focus on hearing and pronouncing vowel length. O Listening Exercise 7. Hearing and pronouncing 6 At home Listen to and repeat the words containing 6, giving it full length in pronunciation. Like L Boehl's website to play videos Video 5.
