Using the San Marino flag to represent Italian is hilarious and I love it

As an Iraqi, you %100 nailed the explanation, Iā€™m glad someone finally explained that with this accuracy and truth

As a Syrian, I can have normal conversations with Egyptians, people from the Arabian gulf, and other people from Levantine without switching to MSA, and I can understand them almost perfectly

Love how the representations of the Romance languages are Mexico, Brazil and San Marino instead of Spain, Portugal and Italy

I am Palestinian and when I visited Morocco I communicated in English with the locals. It was much easieršŸ˜Š. And honestly when I listened to them talking I could not even figure out the topic. Family stories or space program discussion, I couldnā€™t tellšŸ˜‚

While I speak gulf Arabic I understand Egyptian, Levantine and Yemeni dialects. Its the magrabi one to me that literally sounds like a different language and its the most that Arabs from everywhere struggle with the most.

As an Arab from the gulf, I can confirm that the only way I will be able to understand an Arab from Morocco is through Modern standard Arabic.

Hi @Langfocus ! Itā€™s a linguistic phenomenon called Diglossia: ā€œa situation in which two languages (or two varieties of the same language) are used under different conditions within a community, often by the same speakers. The term is usually applied to languages with distinct ā€˜highā€™ and ā€˜lowā€™ (colloquial) varieties, such as Arabic.ā€

I am Syrian but i can understand and we can communicate with each other but you have countries like Morocco and Algeria and Tunisia their accent are very hard and we can't understand it well but accents like Egypt and gulf and levantine are easy for all of us

i really like the phrasing of "speak like a book" to describe this, it's really apt

As an Egyptian who speaks Egyptian Arabic: I can understand all the dialects and they understand me

@abdallahelsharkawy3701

No, not really. I'm Egyptian, I barely fail to misunderstand any word from the levantine, upper Egyptian, sudaneese, Arabian dialects. They can understand me perfectly too (provided we both slow down a little no word selection needed) The exception to the rule is maghrebi

The comparison with English was interesting, because I once witnessed a Mancunian in a Northern Irish pub trying to order a drink, and both the barman and the customer had seriously troubles understanding each other. And they were all from the UK, not thousands of km apart!

Iā€™m Maghrebi and this is 100% true. No one can understand me unless I try to speak like a book šŸ˜‚
