#not egyptian dialect

[rainofthetwilight]

mutual on twitter pointed out how borg tower basically translates into "tower tower" given how borg means tower in arabic and is written as "بُرج", and I somehow never realized that???? 😭

cyrus 3ayesh fe borg borg....his name is cyrus tower.......

that north african dialect post is so funny. the assumption is that north africans would be able to understand the algerian guy and other arabic speakers wouldn't meanwhile north africans in the notes have no fucking clue what that man is saying

Learning new languages, even if i never get to fluency, makes me feel the beauty of the world. The way we paint the world with sound or adorn the air with handshapes, communication is so damn beautiful.

spanish speaking oomfies what spanish dialect is the equivalent of the Egyptian arabic dialect in your opinion...

[catalvarezs]

huge shout-out to the arabs they can each know arabic fluently and still not understand each other how do you do this?

It’s actually so underrated how arab people talk to each other. To an outsider all Arabic sounds the same but you can’t even imagine the difference between Arabic dialects. Completely different languages. It’s not just words pronounced differently it’s different words completely. Things have different meanings depending on where you go. Arabic is really not just one language but many and it takes a lot of skill to understand each other. I would honestly say Moroccan and lebanese dialects are more different to each other than Spanish and Portuguese for example.

imagine....ninjago arabic dub, but everyone has different dialects instead of just speaking in fus7a

lloyd is syrian, kai and nya are lebanese or libyan (probably libyan), jay is morrocan, cole is egyptian, zane is iraqi, pixal is jordanian, and wu is stuck in fus7a lmao

arin is yemeni, sora, jordana and percival are lebanese (basically imperium as a whole r lebanese), wyldfyre is egyptian, euphrasia (and the cloud kingdom) is syrian, and ras would probably be any khaleegi dialect except iraqi (I'm sorry I cannot see him have any dialect other than a khaleegi one that's not iraqi, he's not deserving of iraqi it's too good for him 💪), and judging by cinder's voice in french he prob might be jordanian?? Ig???

that post I rb’d about how diverse the SWANA region is hasn’t left my mind lmao it’s so true. I usually default to saying I’m arab because 9/10 people have never heard of my country lmfaooo!

but the region is so diverse it makes me laugh. my best friend is Egyptian and we both fluently speak Arabic yet her dialect is so different from mine that half the time we can’t understand eachother!!!
