Arabic VS. English

Within a broad spectrum of languages that revolve around different nationalities and religions, we find ourselves gifted with the art of understanding and incorporating any given language that we’ve gotten the chance to learn. We use such language in order to communicate and relate to one another on any given subject, whether the language is the same or not. With both participants understanding the two separate languages, we can further understand what our partners are saying even when they use a second language to fit their statements into proper context. With languages easier to translate, some smoother than others, I come to explain some of the differences and similarities between the language of Arabic, and the language of English. When we come to compare the language similarities between English and the intricate language of Arabic, what’s brought to our attention in an apparent fashion, is the fact that there simply isn’t many similarities between them. Although, what does come to mind when we think of extremely basic similarities, is the grammatical placement of commas and common tools used to change tone and speed in the English language. Other than that, many things within the Arabic language come in opposites, or in a scrambled order. For example; when we type, or write, we fill out our text from right to left. If you were to download an Arabic keyboard application on your mobile phone, you’ll realize that there’s an incredible difference in the way that the people whom use the Arabic language put words to paper. Sentences actually start from the right side of the page and make their journey over to the left. Quite the difference, if you’re unfamiliar with the language. When it comes to the scrambled physical translations of Arabic to English, most, if not all people whom understand English can come to understand that the direct translation of the language isn’t in our practical order. For example; a sentence as simple as “ The big dog walked inside the park “ from Arabic understanding to English would directly translate into “ The dog big walked inside the park “.
Example of above text in Arabic; __________________________________________________
The final difference that I’ll be informing you on, is the flow of Arabic. Arabic flows in a different fashion than the printed version of English. Arabic is always connected and never separate, similarly to cursive writing. The letters take their own fashion when they’re connected, rather than when they’re separated through being independent letters. To conclude, we now understand that Arabic is quite the unusual language when it comes to how unique and intricate it is. Arabic understandably has an overwhelming amount of differences in comparison to the seemingly microscopic amount of similarities they possess in the Imaginary Venn diagram that we’ve made for it. The immense amount of differences between these languages just shows us how different we’ve developed as people in the way we’ve come to communicate with each other. Briefly and simply put, languages unrelated to the English language could very easily confuse anyone looking for direct translations, unless both participants of a conversation are well aware of the proper context and use of vocabulary within the two separate languages.
