One thing to keep in mind is that the pronounciations for arabic words will vary from country to country, and even from town to town.

When reading/writing arabic, you do so from right to left, unlike how we write from left to right. I'm going to post the pronunciations from left to right, though.

Because of how different their alphabet/letters/spelling are, and I don't think they'd work if I tried to post the letters on the forum, unless if I were to post pictures of them on the forum, but I'll save that for later, unless if someone else wants to do it. I'm only going to write the English word, and the Arabic pronounciation.

I just edited my post above.

I just figured out that the language map I had for Arabic had the words written in backwards order. Not the letters, but the words from last to first. Anyway, I just figured it out, and made the proper corrections.

More Arabic phrases to come soon.

So I hit my grandmother up for some great Arabic phrases. She's the same grandma from the Meow and Friends 'That sucks!' soundbyte.
She got a kick out of this. Enjoy!

Green Knight,

Check out the "Read/Post here first" thread.

Also, since Arabic is spoken differently in different countries - and even in different cities and towns also, where is that version (that you posted) spoken?

Arabic alphabets (lebenese, syrian and egyptian) can be found on the link i posted in the Alphabets thread. The site is Omniglot.com. They have an alphabetical list of all alphabets.

Also, whats the deal with the two sets of parentheses in your translations, Tothian? Im excited to see Arabic on here now, but Im not entirely sure what Im looking at =P.

!,

The different sets of parenthesis are just the different words being seperated in the phrases.

Thank you very much
