  • @GeorgianAzeri Hey buddy

    Maybe you should study linguistics and anthropology, then you would know that Arabic originates in North Africa.

    In fact the greatest diversity of Semitic languages in the world are found in Africa, Ethiopia to be precise. But I guess a racist troll has no use for education, studying or trying to understand anything!

  • @shayshay301445 you wana learn african? well you cant because there is no language called "african".

  • Yes Arabic is an African language millions of Africans speak Arabic!

  • I am fluent in Arabic and your Arabic is good, but your pronunciation is a little bit off, but good job. Best of luck with Arabic.

  • WTF!? Arabic is not an African language! If Arabic is considered an African language then French should be too!

  • @shayshay301445 there is no language called african.! this is arabic not african.1

  • Ana talib balughat arabiya ayidan

  • @nakfa The earliest record of so-called South Arabian script was found in Akkulu Guzay, Eritrea. See my earlier comments.

  • @lionzion22 ...From Indiana University Dissertation "Once, the Arabian Peninsula was thought to have been the "cradle" of proto-Semitic, but nowadays many scholars advocate the view that it originated somewhere in East Africa, probably in the area of Somalia/Ethiopia. Interestingly, both these areas are now dominated linguistically by the two youngest members of the Semitic language family: Arabic and Amharic, both of which emerged in the mid-fourth century C.E."

  • @GeorgianAzeri Hey, thanks for the nice compliment! You are brain-dead and in denial. I suppose that's why its referred to as an AFROasiatic languages. The greatest diversity of so-called semitic languages are in AFRICA. That's because AFRICA is where it originated. It then spread out to further north east. The oldest accounts of ANY semitic language were found in AFRICA - 9th c BC, HA! can't get much older than that. Nice try, buddy.
