The Tunisian accent 💥💥✨️✨️
I'm an African-American man who studied in Egypt. We were told that Egyptian dialect was understood throughout the Middle East due to the number of Egyptian films available .
yep true, I am tunisian and I have no problems with understanding every single word egyptians say
true we understand it very well here in Saudi Arabia.
That’s true
That's true, but it's often overstated a bit. Most Arabs understand Egyptian Arabic from movies and TV shows but do not use it in their day to day lives, so they are passive speakers i.e. they can understand dialogue and substitute words to be understood by a monolingual Egyptian speaker, but they may not understand specific terms, phrases, nor would they necessarily use grammatical constructions correctly.
Many Arabs, when speaking Egyptian Arabic, won't know when to use اوى vs كتير, or will put demonstratives and interrogatives at the end of a sentence at all times (when there is a grammatical difference regarding when the words are postpositioned), or won't use the grammatical particle عمّال correctly.
That ’s ture
i'm maltese, the closest i could understand was the tunisian and lebanese dialect and a little bit of egyptian
Standard Arabic is hard for you?
@@ramysyria1793 yes i can't understand standard arabic
you tried to listen to algerian ? or moroccan ?

I loved the Tunisian accent 😭

Interesting that Tunisian is often more similar to Levantine than Egyptian 😯
Egyptian is the most unique dialect in the Arab world, however it is really similar to the dialect of Gaza in Palestine
@CARTHAGETUNISIAHANNIBAL any proofs?
Phoenicians from the levant settled in Tunisia millenia ago, they brought the language and the dialect with them
Tunisian Arabic is so beautiful when it is not polluted by French !
Love it so much ❤

I expected the Tunisian guy to use more French. I'm glad he kept his Arabic without French, for a more authentic Tunisian Arabic.
French?! Do you know that tunisians don't even speak French the majority of the time when talking during the day, only at school we study some subjects in French so this make us good at it but our dialect is pure tunisian we speak Tounsi that's it, just some common words are in french like baguette 🥖 etc...we also use some words derived from Latin,Italian, Spanish and Amazigh but like I said the dialect is Tounsi maybe it's the accent that let people feel like we are talking in french, but we don't, in our everyday use.
In the video they don't even speak French.
@@-jarsamyThe EasyArabic videos give the impression that Tunisians commonly mix their dialect with French
@@randomstuff3413 We use French with loanwords , or sometimes when people try to explain things they can use either more Standard Arabic ,French or English it depends on the person . But most of us don't shove French words just for fun . Most of these phrases we would only say in Arabic , except for probably how're you : we can use ca va ??
@CARTHAGETUNISIAHANNIBAL not mislead people? I always see you commenting and saying crazy stuff, first of all I said Tounsi which is what we speak it's a dialect based on Arabic and other languages I don't know where you read that we don't speak Arabic don't change what I said I was responding to people who think that we speak in french when is not real
Tounsi has Italian,latin, Andalusian(Spanish) Amazigh words while English is more modern there are no words in Tunisian that come from English while some French words derived from colonial years. Carthaginian language? You mean Punic right? 🙄
@CARTHAGETUNISIAHANNIBAL yes English is more modern these last years many young people use it but we can replace them simply with Tounsi the same thing goes for French except for some modern terms. While other languages are actually part of our dialect like latin,tamazigh, and even some words coming from the Andalusian period and we cannot change it because it's an integral part of our dialect.

Excellent video, glad he used the "French words" to a minimal extent in the Tunisian Arabic so they can better understand it lol
all accents are beautiful
Geetings from Tunisiaaaaaaaaaa
Im Indonesian, we studied Standard Arabic at an Islamic school from elementary school to high school but when I heard Arabian talking in their dialect, I just stared and "wtf are they talking about🤯🤯🤯🤯"
That's what's putting me off from studying MSA... not being able to talk to most people and have an actual conversation, like with most languages... i'm so disappointed because i think it's a beautiful language, that unfortunately has no native speakers. A language with no nation. And i fear its only gonna get worse for MSA in the future... 😔
@@evandromgoes because MSA is more for reading and writing than you learn a dialect that you like so you can be able to speak MSA is only for news papers and news and street signs and reading poems and reading books anything formal
No dear, you don't have to be. What we speak is pure Arabic, however, it's just being twisted a bit. By studying MSA, you will be able to understand almost all the Arabic dialects after mastering one of them-- say, Egyptian. It's like a blocked code and once you decode one of them, you will be able to understand almost everything except Moroccan-- we ourselves don't understand it.
Take this example:
MSA: Ana oheebook katheran.
Egy: ana bahebak kteer.
أنا أحبك كثيرآ. MSA
أنا بحبك كتير . Eg
ما (هو) أسمك ؟ MSA
أسمك أيه ؟ Eg
ماذا (أنت) تدرس؟ MSA
أنت بتدرس أيه؟ EGY
So you see it's almost the same, just twisted. Once you know the Arabic letters and words, try to read a substituted conversation and your brain will process it automatically. Don't worry, your time hasn't been wasted for nothing. It's a MUST to study both all the way.
@@shsh12345AssalamuAlaikum, I want to learn Arabic for 2 reasons, to understand the Quran and to be able to converse with the Saudi locals. Should I learn the Gulf dialect directly or should I do MSA and then the dialect?? Please guide me..

As an Algerian it's so difficult for me to understand the Lebanese dialect but I think it's the one that sounds the best to my ears. Egyptian sounds nice too but it's easier to understand, and I can understand Tunisian despite some differences (barsha / bezzaf for example)

In catalan we also say "sabata" for shoe. And in spanish it's "zapato".. we have many words that came from arabic... it's amazing how languages are connected.
And in portuguese its Sapato
It's actually the other way around , in North Africa and some parts of the levant we say sabat and it's actually derived from Spanish not from arabic
I love seeing Lebanese represented! I’d love to see full Lebanese videos in the future.
Love you guys!! You're amazing!
Which all goes to prove that the difference between dialect and language is all down to culture, politics and tradition. Croats and Serbs will swear they are speaking separate languages and Tunisians and Syrians will say they are speaking dialects of Arabic. Unbiased linguists would probably disagree.
the thing is all the words are being used are grammatically correct from arabic language it is so easy for me to understand all of them, bcz it is the same sentence just different arabic word
Great video!

كلمة الفِديو ليست من الفصحى، قولوا المرئية أو المقطع المرئي، وجمعها ليس فِديُز بل مرئيات أو مقاطع.
ويا حبذا لو تنسقوا الجمل أكثر لأن الأعجمي سينفر من العربية عندما يرى أن لا علاقة تذكر بين الفصحى والعاميات.
يعني مثلا ذكرتم كلمة المنزل والبيت والدار وكان ممكنا أن تتوحدوا كلكم على واحدة فقط لأن كل هذه الكلمات فصيحة.
ثانياً كان من الممكن أن تعيدوا ترتيب الجمل بحيث تتطابق عناصرها فيقال بالعربية المعيارية "أعطني بعض الطماطم من فضلك" وبالمصرية "اديني شوية طماطم من فضلك" بدل "من فضلك اديني شوية طماطم" بحيث يوافق مكان كل كلمة في الجملة الأصلية مكان مقابلتها في الجملة باللهجة الأخرى. كما أن الأخت التي مثلت اللهجة المصرية كانت تضيف ضمير الفاعل دائما في بداية كل جملة بينما كانت اللهجات الأخرى لا تذكره وكان ممكنا حذفها في اللهجة المصرية أيضًا حتى تتسق الجمل بشكل أكبر، فبدلًا من قول "أنا عاوزة" مثلاً يقال "عاوزة" أو العكس بجعل باقي اللهجات تذكر ضمير الفاعل، واللغة العربية بها من السعة ما يجعل هذه الأساليب صحيحة.
ثالثًا: الأخ الذي مثل اللهجات المغاربية حبذا لو تكلم بشكل أبطأ حتى يفصل بين كل كلمة وأختها. والأخت التي مثلت الفصحى حبذا لو حركت نهايات الكلمات وفقا للقواعد حتى يقترب الأسلوب من الفصحى المعيارية الحديثة على الأقل.
وشكرًا على مجهودكم في تسويق اللغة العربية
نهايات الجمل في اللغة العربية لا تحرك بل تبقة ساكنة أي في موضوع السكوت يصبح الحرف الاخير ساكنا ..
@@user-no7uf6eb5z صحيح، ولقد قصدت نهايات الكلمات الداخلية وليس نهايات الكلمة الأخيرة في كل جملة.

Thank you so much for this video! This comparison is very interesting and helpful! Even though as an Arabic learner, it also scares me a little! These are so basic sentences and I understood almost all of them in standard Arabic but in the dialects.. no chance! :D these are whole different languages. I like the Lebanese dialect since it was closest to Standard Arabic but I like how Tunisian sounds and also that some of their words come from French :D Egyptian was the most difficult for me!
Thank you for your comment ! In the beginning, it will be difficult to differentiate between the dialects, but with time and learning you will be able to distinguish between them, and I want to tell you that Arabs also have some dialects that are difficult for them to differentiate, so you are not alone.😀 You can watch this video to show you what I mean : ua-cam.com/video/iKCXmFLAidg/v-deo.htmlsi=1bxxkNcwRYLs539q . I hope you achieve your goal in learning Arabic soon.
None of the tunisian words from this video comes from french except 1 or 2...
@@rawewond sorry, I don’t mean that the Arabic words come from French as an origin but that French words are used while speaking, (also in general, not only in this video)
@@EasyArabicVideosthe problem isn’t differentiating the “dialects”. The problem is understanding the “dialetcs”.
I say “dialects” in quotations because some of them are actually descendant languages.
Once you master one of them, whichever you’re born into, or most often MSA for non-Arabs learning for the first time, then you can learn another one of them, and you will become diglossic.
You will think of them as one single language because that’s the political classification of them, but the linguistic classification is that they’re separate languages, and “Arabic” is the branch they’re on, much like “Aramaic” is a group of related languages, many of them unintelligible, and no single one of them is “the Aramaic” language.
It’s like if you first learn Romance (late Vulgar Latin), which no-one actually speaks vernacularly, and once you’ve learnt that it’s easier to acquire Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan, Romanian, etc, unless you’ve already been born and raised into one of these Romance “dialects”, then the others are easier to learn, and you can also learn Romance.
Arabs usually first learn their “dialect”, then they learn al-Fusħa in the education system. Then on top of that they can learn other “dialects”. So technically they’re already multilingual before they even acquire any other non-Arabic language.
@@EasyArabicVideos Of note--Lebanese are NOT Arabs. Not by dna or by culture (we have our own unique culture). We just speak the language.
جميل أوي أوي🎉
Bonjour! Votre vidéo est assez intéressante et montre bien les différences et les similitudes des dialectes entre eux et avec l'arabe classique. J'aimerais savoir si je peux la partager dans le cadre d'une présentation des dialectes arabes à des francophones. Merci de votre réponse et bravo encore pour votre contenu assez riche!
great video ty. I learned only standard arabic which for I was aware all or some can with 100% ease understand. I still am not sure! lmao but good video
This is why i'll never try learning arabic imagine learning for many years but still not understanding if you meet someone speaking in a different dialect😭 too complicated
I speak the standard Arabic pretty well. It's very distinct from the dialects. It has a different character. It's as if the dialects are regional attempts to simplify it.
standard Arabic is an attempt to simplify and modernize classical Arabic. The dialects evolved from classical Arabic naturally throughout time while mixing and replacing the native tongues of different region.
@ELYESSS its interesting that the dialects didn't become codified languages in their own right.
@@Tripps2564 It didn't happen mostly for political and religious reasons. When most of the Arab world was colonized, a pan Arabist movement, the most popular at the time, was advocating for the independence and forming one big Arab nation. Once they got their independence and became the ruling party pretty much everywhere they made standard Arabic their official language but failed to unify the Arab world. Also, Muslims think Arabic is superior because it's the language of the Quran, so it's pretty hard to try and change it now and maybe for the foreseeable future.
Amazing video! I'd like to learn Arabic. If I want to travel to Morocco, do I have to learn Standard Arabic and then the corresponding dialect? Or just Standard Arabic?❤

I have learned some basic sentences and structure. But my arabic learning is on pause right now.
If you learn MSA you will understand all these dialects.
@@Shibeeb81 that's nice
Not true, with MSA you can barely understan some word..you have to learn/study the dialect if you want to understand it
@@Adam10. you’re wrong on a huge level. You should learn standard Arabic then dive in the dialects just like any other language.
@@Shibeeb81 sorry, do you mean if a person don't study MSA He can't learn a dialect?
As an English speaker, from listening to this video I’d say Lebanese dialect sounds the simplest followed by Tunisian.
for those who don't speak Arabic and want to learn it , my advice for you as an arab person, learn in addition to the standard classical Arabic the syrian dialect, it is the closest dialect in my opinion to the classical and the majority in all Arab countries undrestand it.

@zachary We Lebanese are NOT Arabs. Just remember that. A lot of people want to throw us into the bunch, but it is insulting because we have our own identity. Our dna isn't Arab. And our culture is also unique. We just speak the language. I'm putting this out there.

ana muhtaj rokomek ya binte masriya... tigfeeenn rokomem💗💗💗
When watching these videos, it becomes obvious that if there were no Quran and Ahadeeth the Arab countries wouldn't speak the same language in 21st century. The languages would separate just like it happened with many other nations.
They are speaking modern standard arabic, Quran is classical arabic, which is studied rather than being a mother tongue( known by every arabic speaker)
@@asmaulhossnasumya4021 But where are the roots of MSA? What is its source?
It's a shame Arabs don't speak standard Arabic in conversation. It sounds so pleasant. My second choice would be Lebanese.
It's not a shame, genius. Languages change naturally over time. All of them. The only reason standard Arabic still exists is because it was preserved for writing. That's number one. Number two, since you mentioned Lebanese, I'm Lebanese and we aren't Arabs. Only Arabic speakers, because our dna is completely different. This last point may not sound relevant to you, but I'm putting it out there, educating people.
Yeah, too bad Italian people don't speak Latin anymore. Or modern Greek don't speak ancient Greek anymore.
Languages do evolve. That's quite logical, though I agree fus7a sounds very nice.
@@aag3752 u cant really differentiate between u and Arabic DNA at all at this point , more over both of us and gulf Arabs are Semites so technically it is the same people
they are totally like different languages
not really cz they are all saying the same words kinda or a different arabic word that means the same thing
I wonder how you can reach such conclusion after watching this video...honestly. I understand them all and I speak only Algerian arabic which is not even in the video, which is not even my native language.
@@yacinemadaci4754 because you speak Arabic and i don't....
not really because different dialects use different synonyms of the same meaning because arabic is a very rich language with vocabulary!
Should we be thinking of the various Arabic dialects like the Chinese family of languages, which are also called dialects within China? I think a Mandarin-only speaker would understand 20-50% of the other dialects without previous exposure. How does this compare?
i don't know anything about the dialects of china, but the thing we have in common in the arab speaking world is learning standard arabic at school.
so if I, as a moroccan speak to someone from egypt or irak or oman and he is having a hard time understanding me i can switch to standard arabic and he'll get it unless i am speaking to an illetrate person then chances are he only understands his dialect. BUT
The most understood dialect is Egyptian, because Egypt dominated the arab world with series and movies for a very long time, so i can also find words in egyptian (because i grew up watching egyptian tv dramas) to try and simplify what i'm saying to someone from another country.
we have a lot of words that come from standard arabic in common especially verbs, or body parts but the pronounciation changes a lot from region to region, so if you listen well you get the words,
levantine dialect is kinda close to egyptian so they understand each other easily, again i can try using egyptian for them to undertand me
then there are gulf dialects (kuwaiti, saudi, emirati, yemeni... and iraki) they can understand each other well, but they claim that others can understand them which is really false especially if you're speaking to an old person, in that case i can't even tellwhen a word starts and where it ends, it is completely incomprehensible to me.
Lastly north african dialects apart from being influenced by the languages of colonizers, the pace is quicker the pronounciation really different and most importantly in these dialects the arabic was influenced a lot by the amazigh syntax and arabs claim that north african is the hardest dialect, but i just think they are lazy and have a superiority complex when dealing with north africans.
Yes, it's very similar. The one difference is that no one speaks Standard Arabic as a native language while in China, Standard Mandarin is the native language of a large portion of Chinese citizens since its adoption in 1956, and is based off of Northern Mandarin dialects around Beijing.
But Modern Standard Arabic is only based off of Classical Arabic and only veers from this base lexically in loanwords e.g. kumbyūtar "computer" from English, farāwila "strawberry" from Egyptian, phonologically based off of the speaker's native variety e.g. Standard: rajul "man" would be Egyptian: ragul (though native Egyptian "man" is rāgel; ragul would be used in a set phrase or legal implication e.g. ħoʔūʔ er-ragul "men's rights") and grammatically only simplifies certain aspects of Classical Arabic that don't exist in the majority of modern varieties e.g. loss of declensions and certain moods like in Classical Arabic: yaktubanna rajulun risālatan "a man (certainly) writes a letter" would be in MSA: rajul yaktub risāla (doing away with the energetic mood and case declensions for nominative and accusative from Classical Arabic) and reflecting the modern varieties like in Iraqi: fadd rejjāl da-yekteb maktūb "a man writes a letter"
As far as mutual intelligibility, it depends on the distance and exposure people have to different varieties.
Most Arabs are exposed to Egyptian and to a lesser extent, Levantine Arabic so they'll likely be more familiar with those than say northern Iraqi or Omani.
But generally, it's easier for speakers to understand varieties within their group than it is to understand varieties outside their group. For example, Tunisians can understand Libyan and Algerian to a lesser extent, but won't understand Sudanese. Lebanese can understand Syrians (there is really no clear line separating the two) but will struggle to understand Iraqis.
Lot of difference among the different countries languages

If they laughed it's not because they are mocking you. I can assure you they are pleased with you speaking fos'ha. MSA is good to learn as a base then you can focus on one dialect at a time. Also, Arabic literature is in fus'ha not in dialects!

I don't speak Arabic, but it sounds like the expressions are totally different.

This is how Arabs speak. Some dialects like those from the Maghreb region can be hard to understand by other Arabs. So when communicating with Arabs outside of their region, some words are changed to make the dialect easier to understand.
Lebanese one is so beautiful , love from Pakistan 💞
Thanks. But we Lebanese are not Arabs, we're only Arabic speakers.
@@aag3752 how?
@@user-rk2nr3fl5h what do you mean how? Lebanese people are not Arabs by Blood. We are Lebanese by Blood (eastern Mediterranean).
@@user-rk2nr3fl5h Even this man in the video doesn't really look like someone from the Arabian Peninsula. But if you want to know how many of us look, just look up famous Lebanese people, like the singer Sabah. Or the actor, Youssef El Khal. That's also typical.
Mashallah Allahu Akbar❤❤❤
اللي يتعلم الفصحى رح يفهم اللهجات بسهولة الفصحى هي الأصل والباقي تقليد
Celui qui apprend la langue arabe classique va facilement comprendre les dialectes arabes, l'arabe classique est la source et les dialectes ne sont que des dérivés
The one who learn modern standard arabic gonna easly understand others Arabic dialects, classical arabic is the source of all of them
Mentira
Ciao e grazie, che Dio vi benedica. Io devo imparare il dialetto tunisino, perché mio marito è tunisino. 😂
Which spoken variety is closest to Classical / Standard Arabic??? Syrian?
None of them. Standard ARabic is very old, and has not been spoken for centuries now. It has evolved naturally. So, you should learn it, and you also need to choose a dialect you like. All Arabic speakers will understand you regardless of dialect. But stay away from Algerian or Morroccan, because nobody understands that outside their own people.
thank you for comment. which dialect is most prestigious?@@aag3752
@@Superbonnuit If by prestigious you mean one that allows you to be understood by most Arabs, I’d say go for the Syrian or the Egyptian dialect. Syrian is closest to standard Arabic which partly explains it’s use in movie dubbing. Meanwhile the Egyptian dialect is understood mostly because of the huge amount of Egyptian movies/songs/series there are.
very interesting thank you! i would have thought saudi due to the location of mecca and medina so good for you to correct my assumption @@mlsysm3543
Amazing video! Lebanese/Syrian dialects could have a bigger space here though.
That'd be nice. As long as people don't confuse us for real Arabs. It's been proven by DNA studies now that we have nothing to do with Arabs.
More Lebanese videos pleasee
Miguel...just understand that we Lebanese are NOT Arabs. It's just a language for us.
@@aag3752 Brother. Why are you so set on commenting everywhere that you are not arab. No need to share your identity crisis. Why scream it onto everyones face. We get it. You feel shame to be associated with arabs. Calm down.
@@aag3752Oh my God, you are under almost every comment! What’s the big deal!?! What do you have against Arabs? Do you want to be identified as white? That’s what it seems like. Since you’re not Arab, tell us what are you then? Enlighten us.

The different dialects have twice put me off learning any more fus'ha Arabic
Start with fisha , most of the dialects just use synonyms of the same word in Arabic . don't worry .
