Hi all,

This is a new competetion for you all. In Arabic, there is a letter in the alphabet that is never exist in any other language. So, Arabs called Arabic , the langauge of …….. (letter). Now, which letter in the Arabic alphabet is this?

Well, even if you dont know Arabic at all, you can still win. Arabic alphabet are only 28. The quickest right answer will be the winner.

Of course, Arabs are not allowed to try in the forum ;) right Fikry? Just send me a message with the answer if u want to.

Good luck!

very intruiging Dr Hamdy. As the hardest letter to pronounce I guess ayn. I think you use this letter to strangle English throats. ha ha

Lol! I am sorry to say No, It is wrong but you are right that ayn (ع) is hard for English people.

Please try again! Thank you very much for trying!

I can not find !!!

Please try Patrick, you still have 27 letters left!

Very interesting Dr. Hamdy :). You made me curious, and so I will also have a try: ghayn?

26 letters left. Thank you very much Claudia. That was really smart answer. Ghayn is a hard letter but still can find it specially in French.

Try again:)

Hi Hamdy!

the letter ( ض ) is not existed in any other language except arabic . The language of ( ض ) .

Right answer Fikry but I think you don’t need the prize, a free Arabic session, because you are already an Arab ;)

Arabic is called the language of Dadd. Of course, it is pronounced in a different way because this letter is ض

So it is called " لُغَةُ الضَّادِ"

Thank you Elaine and Claudia!

Thank you Patrick although I wanted you to try more :)
Good luck next time!

Hey Fikry – cheater! :) You speak Arabic!

I was looking all over the internet too, lol. Never found it.

I do not quite agree because ض in fact could be compared to the modern Icelandic ð or modern Greek δ . Example ضاد = ðad = δαδ but in Greek “d” doesn’t exist. Of course the sound are not exactly similar BUT very similar. Of couse in modern English and modern French the sound ض doesn’t exist.
In old English the word PEACE was frið. PEACE is a French word adopted after 1066 when we, bloody frogs, we invaded England :-) By the way, 33 years later, in 1099 we took Jerusalem and killed absolutely everybody, Jews, Christians and Muslims because we were unable to distinguish who was a “kafir”. So you can see that frogs are not always cute animals :-)

Although I don’t know much information about old English and Greek but we have two similar letters in Arabic د and ض.
They are similar too but exactly similar. So, I am talking about the same letter in another language.

Sometimes, when you read an Arabic book, you may find this term was mentioned. Don’t also forget that Arabs in the peak of Islamic civilization, they went everywhere and they could have changed this term if it was wrong :)

Thank you very much patrick for your wonderful information. I would say shhhhhh, there are british people here so dont talk about France invading England this time :D

guys, stop cultural fighting
