10. My name is Issam
Click on Arabic text to play sound
marhaba, ismî cisâm
Hi, my name is Issam.
'anâ 'askun fî l-'iskandariyya, thâniyy akbar mudun misr.
I live in Alexandria, the second largest city in Egypt.
innaha madinatun jamîla, bihâ shawatiy'un kathira
It is a beautiful city, with many beaches.
'anâ uhibbuhâ.
I love it.
cailati taskun fî l-'iskadariyya 'aydân, wa lâkin 'akhi yaskun fî l-qâhira 'al-ân.
My family lives also in Alexandria, but my brother is now living in Cairo.
huwa yaqûl innahu yuhibbuha akthar mina l-'iskandariyya.
He says that he loves it more than Alexandria.
'anâ 'azunn innahu majnûn.
I think he is mad.
Grammar: The vowels in Arabic
There are 3 vowels to Arabic. These are not written as letters, but are indicated above or under the letter preceding it.
Does this look a bit confusing? Well yes, that is also one of the reasons why it is seldom included in Arabic writing. But at this stage you could do well with writing down the vowels, in order to remember the correct pronounciation of the words.
When these vowels are used, as well as some of the other indicators from above, it is with care, and only important vowels and indicators are used, in an acheivement to avoid misunderstandings.
The pure pronounciations coming from these vowels are short, sometimes hardly pronounced at all.

Same person here as before. Damn, and me with no mod points - now *that* post should have been modded informative:)
Didn't mean to offend previously - you've got to admit, without knowing what you know, your last post was pretty content free. Wish I could mod this one up though...

hah. Mocking ebonics isn't racist. The idea that a group of people who don't happen to be white can't learn English and need "English Lite" instead, is. Ebonics is racist. Mocking it is not.

Someone has modded the above comment, "Flamebait". However, flamebait means that it is a statement given only to cause an argument. In this case, there is no argument, is there? The comment states undeniable facts, and the book gives more facts by quoting stories from some of the world's most prestigious news agencies. Where is the argument?

>(remember that cable-car that was knocked down whilst the pilot was 'hot-dogging').
I remember it very well, especially since the US army didn't allow Italy to judge the pilot!
Now having lots of idiots on the army is a "normal thing" (not restricted to the US alas), but the comptent of the US for an ally is REALLY showing here.
How much?

Actually, I think ebonics is almost a completely different language from English. And no, it's not Spanish/English, it's a a dialect of American English spoken by some African-Americans. Written, it looks very similar to standard English, or something like
I as Ruf could she bring it ovah to tom crib.
which translates to I asked Ruth if she could bring it over to Tom's place.
But, orally it seems more like a foreign language than a dialect.
The community that attempted to adopt Ebonics was Oakland with a 53% African American community. This brings up the point that the Hispanic community is over 50% of the California population and still growing fast. It will be interesting to see what language is the official language of California in the next few years.
