I was wondering if there are any modern standard arabic speakers here…
I have a few questions relating to the language… I have a basic understanding… just need a push.
please, feel free to email me, or post and ill email ya back.
I figure this isn’t something that people are interested in knowing so I put the ‘email me’ option out there. just questions of MSA translation and transliteration…
if this is against board rules to have an “email me” post, then feel free to post away on the board.
Not an MSA speaker here, but I’ve studied the language and have about beginning-intermediate competence in reading it (more so in my own specialty, but I don’t think the history of mathematics and astronomy is going to come up in the questions you ask!).
Sure, why not post your questions here, as long as the thread is open anyway? I’m sure some people have an interest in how Arabic is transliterated, at least in the context of “why are there so many different spellings for Qaddafi?” and so forth.
Any idea what these mean? there’s both feminine and masculine. from right to left:
F ( taa marbuta - daal - yaa - siin - laam - alif… there are shadda’s over the yaa and siin)
M (daal - yaa - siin - laam - alif… shaddas also over the yaa and siin.)
