Incredible as it seems, the US government apparently can't find competent Arabic translators after nearly seven years of holding Arab-speaking prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Saudi Prisoner Slams Then Leaves Guantanamo HearingGUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba, (Reuters) - In a hearing plagued by translation problems on Wednesday, a Saudi Arabian prisoner first criticized and then boycotted the U.S. war crimes court where he is accused of plotting with al Qaeda to blow up ships in the Middle East. With the aid of Arabic-English translators, defendant Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed Haza al Darbi understood the proceedings well enough to tell the military judge that he believed the court at a U.S. naval base in a remote corner of Cuba was "a scam." "I believe there is no international court or local co

I have been working hard to make new "overview" pages for each language on the site. These pages include all resources for the language, news feeds, podcasts, info about Internet TV and social language learning, tag clouds, links to feed subscriptions and other such good info. The idea is to put all the main things site visitors are interested in finding out about for a given languages on one single page (rather than simply lists of resources starting with the latest one). It works and it looks good, too! :) The process of creating these overview pages is taking longer than I thought, but they are coming along! Currently, there are overview pages for Afrikaans, Arabic, Cantonese and Spanish. By the end of March 2008, I will hopefully have overview pages for the all the languages on the sit

I do not know what is going but suddenly I found Francis Fukuyama speaking to the Arabic press here and there ;yes I know he was currently in Dubai . Yesterday The leftist Egyptian Badeel published an interview with him , then you got the Lebanese Nahar is publishing an interview for the famous Neoconservative , the same words but there are slight difference , you can say each interview is localized with the Badeel Fukuyama shares his two cents about Mubarak that he started in the political reform then he stopped and that what created a tension between him and D.C ,where with the Lebanese Nahar he revealed his concern about the future of Lebanon. Of course he re-winded in both interviews the three major mistakes of Bush: The threat of radical Islam to the US had been overestimated.

The Jerusalem Post published last week that the French Freemasonry society "I think the Grand Orient De France" will held their annual meeting for the first time in Israel. The organization which is known for its secrecy would visit the Israeli landmarks. Till now there is noting interesting in the news beside the Freemason factor itself , already it well known that the Freemasons support Israel ,this is a historical fact ,so it is not a surprise to find out that their annual convention will be held there "by the way we should not forget that the Freemasons as a movement came to life during the crusades" yet the newspaper wanted to add some spice to the news mentioning the most important and famous freemasons in the world from the world leaders including : King Hussein of Jordan.

The music of Arabia has spanned across the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula for many centuries until it found its cultural center in Egypt’s capital city of Cairo.

People definitely use context to figure out what words mean, but in the case of "hafla/hafli", it's sometimes wrong and it confuses people who know the difference. So here is the correct meaning."Hafla" means party, not show. If I am invited to a hafla, I am expecting to come to a casual event with friends. We will eat, drink, hang out and go with the flow. This may include a performance or two, but it's definitely not a show. If you invite me to a show, I am expecting to sit and watch performances for an hour or two. If there is any socializing, it's between sets. See the difference?"Hafla" is standard Arabic. Standard Arabic is the Arabic of the Quran. If you speak in standard Arabic, everyone will understand you. "Hafli" is colloquial. It's how people in the Levant say "hafla." If you s

One of the difficulties I always face when I want to express my self in Arabic is the Arabic Characters Typing, sometimes I really like to write some Arabic words especially when I do my famous speeches lol :) But I get bored searching for the damn Arabic characters on keyboard, it really kills me to type with one finger and spend ages to find one character, once it took me much time to find the character -ذ- !!! to find out at the end that it's sadly placed at the maximum top left all alone lolAnyways, there is a solution for that now :) you can write as much as you want using Arabic Chat English Letters like "beddi 2aktob 3arabi" and it will be translated to " بدي اكتب عربي " dynamically :)You can find this atwww.yamli.comThis site also has a web search capability, and they r

Around the time of the iPhone's release, we noticed that MobileSafari did not support viewing certain character sets: specifically Hebrew and Arabic. While one third-party group has been working on bringing Hebrew to the iPhone, we weren't aware until more recently that people have also been working at compatibility from the Arabic angle. Reader Khaled brought to our attention two separate groups, both working at bringing elements of Arabic language functionality to the iPhone. The first, at iPhone Islam, is aiming to bring Arabic character support to the iPhone via a downloadable application (you'll apparently need Installer.app to do so). Unfortunately, my Arabic's a little rusty from a couple years of disuse, so you'll have to visit the site yourself if you want to figure out exactly what procedure you need to follow. The second, more ambitious project, at iFone4Arab.com has as its goal producing a native Arabic interface for the entire iPhone. While they don't yet have a wo

I think everyone knows what zaghareet means and how to say it, but did ya know that it's plural? Yeah, the singular is zagharoota (or sometimes spelled zagharuda. Since Arabic is phonetic, you can spell it however you want!) This one doesn't really bother me that much when people get it wrong because how many times have you ever heard anyone use "zagharoota" in a sentence? I do like to watch my friend get all twisted up when she hears it misused though. lol

Okay, I don't claim to be an expert in Arabic, but I really bothers me when common words are mispronouced, like maqam. It's correctly pronouced muh- KAHM'. The plural is maqamat.Maqam has no English equivalent because it describes an Arab musical phenomenon for which there is no western equivalent. The closest thing to a maqam is the melodic mode, which can be major or minor (for example). The maqam utilizes tones that don't exist in western music. Western music has whole steps and half steps, but Arabic music has quarter steps, which are not necessarily played the same way from song to song. Confusing? Yes, well, even if you don't understand it, it's cool if you can pronounce it correctly.

There is a great long piece by Fjordman in Gates of Vienna addressing the false premise of Arabs sharing in the Greek-Roman heritage in philosophy and science.  In fact the West did not owe the preservations of Greek thought to the Arabs.  This multicultural myth has long been in place and is the basis of much of current Eurabian proposals for a Mediterranean basin-based culture that is supposedly based on this myth.  Here is a snippet that is a sample of a really interesting essay:   Friday, October 12, 2007 Islam, Christian Europe, and the Greek Heritage by Baron Bodissey The noted blogger Fjordman is filing this report via Gates of Vienna.For a complete Fjordman blogography, see The Fjordman Files.

Arabic music has suddenly mesmerised people all over the world. It has ascended to a level of compatibility with people of other ethnics and religion. The industry has also been able to capture the western market with the music and lyrics like never before.Well one can also see the imprints on the Indian music industry as today Arabic music is introduced in the verse and sometimes even in the chorus. How has this industry gotten big all of a sudden, to know more read on. Arabic music in the early centuries was greatly influenced by Egyptians, Sumerians and Assyrians. Most of the instruments used today are the modern versions of what it was in the decades gone by. The main characteristics of Arabic music are florid ornamentation, modal homophony and modal rhythm. There were only eight modes in the beginning but were increased to 12 modes in the 11th century.  They were called maqamat by the 13th century. Ornamentation in Arabic music is the use of shakes and trills, appoggiaturas a

The best among you are those who learn Quran and teach it. - Saying of the Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peaceOne of the best way to learn The Quran is to understand the arabic with its words' root meanings. Quran having multiple layers of meanings, is close to impossible to translate while doing justice to its beauty and eloquence. Some Arabic terms are difficult to translate and don't have close English language equivalents. For the non-Arabic speaking people (like me) who have always wanted to understand the meaning and beauty of Quran was looking to learn the Quranic Arabic with its root meaning. It helps on a number of ground.Its easier to remember the words as one root will enable you to know meanings of many words which come from the same source. The sound and formation of the words, once you get familiar, helps you understand other derived words and their meaning very easily.For example (credit), the root k-t-b has the basic meaning of marking, inscribing or writing.

From the AP:U.S. military continues to discharge gay Arab linguists, and Congress members seek hearingWASHINGTON: Lawmakers who say the military has kicked out 58 Arabic linguists because they were gay want the Pentagon to explain how it can afford to let the valuable language specialists go. Seizing on the latest discharges, involving three specialists, members of the House of Representatives wrote the House Armed Services Committee chairman that the continued loss of such "capable, highly skilled Arabic linguists continues to compromise our national security during time of war."(snip)Democratic Rep. Marty Meehan, who has pushed for repeal of the law, organized the letter sent to Skelton requesting a hearing into the Arab linguist issue. "At a time when our military is stretched to the limit and our cultural knowledge of the Middle East is dangerously deficient, I just can't believe that kicking out able, competent Arabic linguists is making our country any safer," Meehan said.

IntroductionArabic is treasured by Muslims as the language God spoke to Mohammed in, although it has evolved since this time. There are a number of different dialects, with some differences, although normally Arabic speakers find themselves mutually intelligible. This can lead to frustrations when learning Arabic, especially in Qatar where there is such a variety of people and therefore dialects. I sometimes find myself being given different Arabic words for the same things by different nationalities, and sometimes if you ask a group of people a word they will end up arguing over which is the correct one. You may also be given the classical Arabic version which, while undoubtedly correct, may not be the Arabic used in everyday speech. (There’s also a sort of pidgin-Arabic used for foreigner workers with a tenuous grasp of Arabic).
