  • Camel Tails Glossary
    Camel Tails Glossary Arabic Spelling : Arabic spelling is strictly phonetic in the English language, as there is no direct correlation of the Arabic alphabet to the English version. Thus you will find such things/places spelled as Mekka, Mecca, Jeddah, Jidda, Jiddah, Mohammad, Muhammad, Osama bin Laden, Usama bin Laden, etc. All are essentially correct, and usually dependent on the source (or physical location) of the information. Earlier spellings (for instance from “The Seven Pillars of Wisdom ” by Lawrence) will have the same locations spelled quite differently, but readily recognizable. Arabic Names : These can get tricky. The last name of an Arabic individual is usually indicative of his tribal origin. For instance: Abdul Aziz al Saud (using the short form), would indicate that his given name is Abdul Aziz of the family of Sa’ud (or more correctly, the tribe of Sa’ud). Essentially, “al ” means “of, ” such that he would be Abdul Aziz of the Sa’ud Tribe. We had one Navy Commander whose name was Ammar al Katani. This means (in its simplest form), Ammar of the Katani Tribe. We initially called him Commander Katani, but were quickly corrected to calling him Commander Ammar (who, if you wish to get specific) comes from the Katani Tribe. Calling Commander Ammar, Commander Katani would equate to calling an American Indian of the Apache Tribe who happened to hold the rank of Captain in the Tribal Police say, Captain Apache! This mistake in Arabic is closely equated to the same faux pas. Occasionally you will see the designation “abu ” in an Arabic name, and this usually means “father of ” or “grandfather of ”.

Muslims will likely soon outnumber Christians. 2.

  • A Balkanist in Daghestan: Annotated Notes from the Field Victor A
    A Balkanist in Daghestan: Annotated Notes from the Field Victor a. Friedman University of Chicago Introduction and Disclaimer The Republic of Daghestan has received very little attention in the West. Chenciner (1997) is the only full-length account in English based on first-hand visits mostly in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Wixman's (1980) excellent study had to be based entirely on secondary sources, and Bennigsen and Wimbush (1986:146-81 et passim), while quite useful, is basically encyclopedic and somewhat dated. Since Daghestan is still difficult to get to, potentially unstable, and only infrequently visited by Western scholars (mostly linguists), I am offering this account of my recent visit there (16-20 June 1998), modestly supplemented by some published materials. My intent is basically informative and impressionistic, and I do not attempt to give complete coverage to many topics worthy of further research. This account does, however, update some items covered in the aforementioned works and makes some observations on Daghestan with respect to language, identity, the political situation, and a comparison with the another unstable, multi-ethnic, identity construction site, i.e., Balkans, particularly Macedonia. Background Daghestan is the third most populous Republic in the Russian Federation (after Bashkortostan and Tatarstan; Osmanov 1986:24). The northern half of its current territory, consisting of the Nogai steppe and the Kizljar region settled in part by Terek Cossacks, was added in 1922, after the fall of the North Caucasian

Not = Middle Eastern What are the differences between these two maps? Which is the Middle East, and which is the “Arab World”? There are 260 million Arabs in the Middle East, not all of whom are Muslim. WHAT IS ARABIC? • A Semitic language • Can you name two other Semitic languages? Hebrew Aramaic The most common greeting in all three languages is “Peace upon you.” In Arabic, one says salaam alaykum, in Hebrew shalom aleichem, in Aramaic, shlaam aalookh. Below, the word peace in the three Semitic languages. WHO USES ARABIC? Native Arabic speakers, of course--but the spoken and written languages are very different, and the spoken language varies from country to country. Muslims use Arabic for prayer and recitation of the Quran, even though only 15-20% of Muslims speak Arabic as their native tongue. The Arabic script is used for many languages besides Arabic, just as “Latin” script is used for many languages.

  • Glossary of Islam - Wikipedia Glossary of Islam from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    8/9/2017 Glossary of Islam - Wikipedia Glossary of Islam From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The following list consists of notable concepts that are derived from both Islamic and Arab tradition, which are expressed as words in the Arabic language. The main purpose of this list is to disambiguate multiple spellings, to make note of spellings no longer in use for these concepts, to define the concept in one or two lines, to make it easy for one to find and pin down specific concepts, and to provide a guide to unique concepts of Islam all in one place. Separating concepts in Islam from concepts specific to Arab culture, or from the language itself, can be difficult. Many Arabic concepts have an Arabic secular meaning as well as an Islamic meaning. One example is the concept of dawah. Arabic, like all languages, contains words whose meanings differ across various contexts. The word Islam is itself a good example. Arabic is written in its own alphabet, with letters, symbols, and orthographic conventions that do not have exact equivalents in the Latin alphabet (see Arabic alphabet). The following list contains transliterations of Arabic terms and phrases; variations exist, e.g. din instead of deen and aqidah instead of aqeedah. Most items in the list also contain their actual Arabic spelling.

    Asian Social Science; Vol. 11, No. 4; 2015 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Inshallah: Extensive Flouting of Grice’s Maxim of Quality Mohammad Issa Mehawesh1 & Abdullah Ahmad Jaradat2 1 Department of English Language and Translation, Zarqa University, Zarqa, Jordan 2 Dept. of English language and Literature, Hashemite University, Zarqa, Jordan Correspondence: Mohammad Issa Mehawesh, Faculty of Arts, Department of English Language and Translation, Zarqa University, PO box 132222, Zarqa 13132, Jordan. Tel: 962-7-9749-2506. E-mail: [email protected] Received: October 29, 2014 Accepted: December 23, 2014 Online Published: January 14, 2015 doi:10.5539/ass.v11n4p319 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v11n4p319 Abstract The expression inshallah is one of the most common expressions in daily interactions among Jordanians. The paper assumes that the expression has various non-literal meanings besides the literal one which is an invocation to Allah to enable the speaker to achieve a positive or a negative action. The non-literal meanings, on the other hand, are all cases of flouting Grice’s maxim of quality, whereby the speaker does not mean what the words literally mean; however, the addressee or the hearer can figure out the message intended by the speaker. The paper has found out that the various non-literal meanings inshallah serves are: irony, which a typical means for flouting the maxim of quality, threatening, wonder, yes/ok, prohibition, and wishing. Moreover, the study has found out that the utterances containing the expression inshallah will not give the same meaning after the removal of inshallah.
