In today’s episode, we compare some of the common words between Arabic and Indonesian. The Indonesian language (Bahasa Indonesia) is an Austronesian language, a standardized register of Malay and the official language of Indonesia. Indonesia is a multi-lingual country and most Indonesians speak another language, however, the Indonesian language has been used as a lingua franca in the archipelago for centuries. Indonesian is also recognized as minority language in East Timor. Arabic, meanwhile, is a Central Semitic language and has official/national status Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Malta (Maltese Arabic), Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, SADR, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania (Zanzibar), Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Since Arabic is also the liturgical language of Islam it has had a huge influence on many different languages.

    I've honestly never met any Indonesian person that doesn't smile it's so adorable, it should be called the country of smiles even I automatically smile when I see Indonesian people on the street, maybe one day I'll visit it inshaallah.

    I'm from Croatia. I speak several languages including Portuguese, Spanish, French, English, German, and of course Croatian, my native language. Arabic, Portuguese and Turkish have always been my favorite languages. 💓 Arabic language is music to my ears. When I was 8 years old, I heard (Egyptian) Arabic for the first time in my life on television and I fell in love. From an early age I was fascinated by Arab culture, architecture, customs, music and language. Arabic language is melodious and magical. I'm obsessed with that language since childhood. Arabic sounds like a beautiful bedtime story. Arabic is the richest language in the world, with over 4.5 million words, compared to 1.5 million in English. Arabic language is melodious, exotic, sexy, sensual, romantic, passionate, gentle and aggressive at the same time. Arabic is sexy as fuck, it's a perversion for my ears. 😊 In my opinion, Levantine Arabic and Gulf Arabic are the most beautiful Arabic dialects. Lebanese Arabic and Emirati Dialect are my favorites. Arabic music is my drug. 🥰 In our language we have 3,000 Arabic words. The Spanish language has 4000 words of Arabic origin, and the European Portuguese has 8000. ARABIC - MOST BEAUTIFUL WRITTEN LANGUAGE To the eyes of a reader accustomed to the classical Latin or Roman alphabet, the Arabic script with its artful and cursive calligraphy is akin to an elaborate ornament rather than writing. Written from right to left, without distinct upper or lower case letters, Arabic script seems to flow on endlessly, in a truly mesmerising fashion. It is not surprising that Arabic calligraphy is venerated as a form of religious art and hand stitched and painted on holy objects or places.

    Again back to our history, Arab traders were coming to Indonesia centuries ago. So then, Bahasa Indonesia that's adopted from Melayu language also influenced by Arabic. This channel is awesome 😍

    You know, I was born muslim, I got raised and taugh by my parents with three different massive languages. Bahasa Indonesia, Arabic and english. I'm not a native speaker but I was brought up by having obligation how to understand what the very text of Al-qur'an talks about and of course it was not only about the meaning but also about what the qur'an's pronunciation is really like. So I practiced them three huge languages, especially the arabic. Well I did my best in my own ability how to pronounce these three of languages and it worked. So I'm not surprised if somebody says there are lots of similarities between indonesia and arab because that was what my childhood learned about.
