Tunisia Beit Al-Hikma FoundationModern Standard Arabic derives from Classical Arabic, the only surviving member of the Old North Arabian dialect group, attested in Pre-Islamic Arabic inscriptions dating back to the 4th century.[5] Classical Arabic has also been a literary language and the liturgical language of Islam since its inception in the 7th century. Arabic has lent many words to other languages of the Islamic world. During the Middle Ages, Arabic was a major vehicle of culture in Europe, especially in science, mathematics and philosophy. As a result, many European languages have also borrowed many words from it. Arabic influence is seen in Mediterranean languages, particularly Spanish, Portuguese, and Sicilian, due to both the proximity of European and Arab civilization and 700 years of Arab rule in the Iberian peninsula (see Al-Andalus). Arabic has also borrowed words from many languages, including Hebrew, Persian and Syriac in early centuries, and contemporary European languages in modern times.

6. Keep your Spanish sharp with monthly Practice
October 22, 2009
Constant practice of anything will result in success, as many would agree upon. The saying is applicable to education, occupation and even hobbies.

For example in Hindi, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Malay and Indonesian, the word “dunia” means world. This broadens the outlook of cultures throughout the world, and the knowledge of other languages displays the unknowing similarities that all of us share. Latin languages such as Italian, Portuguese and Spanish are very similar wi... (read more)

9. If you could eavesdrop on the entire Earth, you would hear Chinese. Would you understand anything?
October 09, 2009
Contrary to common belief, the most widely spoken language in the world is not English, but Mandarin Chinese. Research conducted in the last years points out that Mandarin is spoken by about 1 billion people in the world, being followed by Spanish, English, Hindi and Arabic. Surprisingly, in the 16th edition of Ethnologue, French and Italian are not even included in the top 10 most spoken languages, although they are of international use. Pretty amazing findings, isn’t it? In other words, if someone would be able to perceive sounds from outside Earth, the loudest ones would be in Chinese. Inde... (read more)

11. Tapped t's in American English Pronunciation
October 02, 2009
One of the features that distinguish American English pronunciation from some other types of English pronunciation is the use of the so-called “tapped” t or d. This English sound is called an alveolar tap (also alveolar flap) by linguists, and corresponds to an r sound in many languages, such as the non-trilled r in Spanish and Italian, or the standard r sound in Arabic or Finnish. The general rule in American English pronunciation for whether a t or d is tapped says that these sounds should be tapped when they come after a stressed syllable, such as in ‘butter’ or ‘lady’.
