I lived in the Gulf for 20+ years and although my arabic was never that good...I do know that a lot of the Egyptian pronunciation of words was different from the Gulf region.
Their accent is totally different Mark |

I was told that despite the differences in dialect, I should be able to be understood region-wide. What say you? |

Egyptian Arabic is to Gulf Arabic as Mexican Spanish is to Spanish Spanish. Egyptian Arabic is of a lower and less refined class than Gulf Arabic. Egyptian dialects, particularly those influenced by Upper Egypt, are more crude and simplistic than those spoken in Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, Dubai, etc. The Asian Arabic spoken in Iran, Iraq, and parts of Pakistan can be heavily influenced in terms of pronunciation and word choice by Urdu and Peshtu.

And YOU--THANK YOU for keeping on topic. With people like you around, how can we fail to win the global war on fundamentalist Islam? I mean, we'll make so many friends! We'll be loved and respected the world over, just as you yourself have respect for our common enemy. The sophistication of your approach to this problem is stunning. Clearly, you understand that the only way to win this war is to carpet bomb Mecca, and burn and pillage what can't be turned into a radioactive self-lighted glass parking lot. The size of your post count does so much to tell others what quality views you have to offer in your every carefully thought out post.

Judging by your post, you seem very smart(er than the average ARFCOMMER). RUN NOW!!! RUN FOR THE CHILDREN!!! The more you visit this site the more brain cells you will lose...  You won't find a higher concentration of woman-hating grumpy old farts... Hopefully they'll die off soon...

I don't know about those cd's you mentioned, sorry. However, from experience, learning egyptian arabic is probably the easiest way to be understood. Egypt is like the Hollywood of the Arab speaking world. Most of the TV shows are in Egyptian dialect. However, to be truly understood by everyone, you should learn MSA, or Koranic Arabic. This is the Arabic that you most often hear on the news. Most Arabs have learned it in school, and is considered, by them, to be the most pure. The best way to learn is by total immersion. Barring that, you should join the army as a 98GAD. |

My co-worker is actually Iranian, not arab. He gets really upset when I call him an arab! The guy who called me Yahudi also works where I work, and knows that I'm a Jew. I always bust his balls and say shit like DURKA DURKA, SALMI LICKEM, and stuff around him, so he called me a Yahudi. Racial ballbusting is my way of being friendly. It breaks down the PC barrier that makes people tiptoe around each other. I seem to make more friends than enemies this way. |

Well... since Allah means god in Arabic... do you really want to say "God sucks Donkey dick." There is only one god... no matter what someone refers to him as.

Well, I am of Iranian descent myself (hence the Farsi reference). By the way, I couldn't agree more on the second part. Justin ETA: Approximately how old is your coworker? Is he a native Iranian? Emigrated pre or post revolution? |

I too have a close Iranian friend. He has breathing problems because of poison gas exposure during the Iran / Iraq war. He tells me that many of his friends back in Tehran are waiting for us to make a move so that they can overthrow the mullahs so they can take back his country. I think we'd actually have more success in putting democracy in place in Iran than in Iraq, but that's the subject of another thread.
