>لبنان
>فينيقي
هل أنت أحمق لهذه الدرجة؟
we wuz lmao all arabs are realted to phoenicians the same way you are tard
Maronites don't want to call themselves Arabs because they hate to be related to Islam and muslims, so they rather choose to call themselves Phoenicians, how foolish?! It's the same as a Tunesian or Algerians calling himself Carthaginian. If you ask someone from Tripoli what you are he will respond: "I'm an Arab."
carthagian isn't an ethnicity it's a civilisation that used to be here so actually any modern tunisian can say i'm carthagian but that doesn't mean tunisian aren't berber cause they are not speaking ethnically but Phoenician is an ethnicity and that's the difference
do most maghrebis refer to themselves as Arab or berber?
Bump.
From my experience in Morocco the Riffian people (north Morocco) will call themselves Berbers, the rest of the Moroccans will say that they are Arabs.
What a silly question. They are Arabs and only tribal bebers would say otherwise until they leave for Europe and will then start calling themselves Arabs
Some (((kabyles))) denounce being arab and claim they're 100% berber (something that is untrue obv) and get mad when you tell them that.
If you go west (ie. Western algeria or Morocco) most people refer to themselves as arabs. The more east you go (eastern Algeria or tunisia) most people refer to themselves as berber.
What dialect of Arabic?
Levantine of course
Ok.
What other dialects would i be able to understand if i chose the Levantine route.
gulfie pretty much the same but with harash pronunciation
Thanks for the insight.

is it possible to learn arabic on your own? or is it so damn hard I need to pay for a class from a native arabic person?
صَدِقتَ عندما تكلمت يا أخَ العربْ
It's complicated. Arabic isn't one language to begin with, it should be seen as the rough semitic version of Latin since actual Arabic is an extinct language as it has no native speakers.
If you're serious, you should learn MSA(Modern Standard Arabic) and a dialect of your choice(either levantine or Egyptian desu) since dialects usually vary in grammar, lexicons and phonology.
To add to my previous reply, you should try to learn MSA then see if it gets too hard. Start with MSA then dialect I guess.
cool thanks but do you reccomend I take a class? or try learning on my own?
I think the dialect I would choose is egyptian because a lot of people speak it. If I learn egyptian arabic would people from qatar understand me? I want to go to qatar for the world cup
>try learning on my own?
try first.
>If I learn egyptian arabic would people from qatar understand me?
Probably. Egyptian Arabic is popular, even though it sounds very harsh and different than most dialects.
Besides in your daily normal life, when / where do you guys mainly speak arabic? Exclusively online, or maybe in certain other scenarios?
when you greentext in arabic, do you type > or
I type >
>when / where do you guys mainly speak arabic? Exclusively online, or maybe in certain other scenarios?
I personally rarely use Arabic online. I only use it in real life when talking to someone or whatever. In fact, I think in English and my Traditional/Standard Arabic is very trashy.
