Keep having Euros teach you your history...

You know what I mean... you really think North Arabic had P sounds? You let these Yids who can't even speak proper Hebrew (they admitted the closest to the original Hebrew pronunciation was the Yemenite Jewish one) and had to revive a dead language while holed up in Polish-Lithuanian Ghettos recite your ancient tongues?

Ahmed Al-Jallad eh? What an appropriate name

Jallid means "whip" ...Wa Maa yujallid Al Jallaad dih, illa taarikhak wa Nassabak.

Actually no. Foreman is pronouncing the old Arabic dialect in it's original form based on Jallad's criteria here:

Foreman is a linguist as well as Jallad. Reconstructing phenomes like this is part of their job description among others. The P sound is a proto-Semitic phoneme that was later lost in many Semitic languages as F sound including the Arabic language. Here's what my Jewish friend had to tell me on the whole matter:

Here's a video of A.Z Foreman reading an example of Old Arabic inscription written in the Safaitic script that is over 2,000 years ago from North-Eastern Jordan. How does the language sounds like to you?


While I understand it for the most part, I find it interesting that F is pronounced as P which the latter was turned into F in later centuries which is why we Arabs can't pronounce the P sound anymore which is why Persians in the Arabic language is pronounced as Faresoon, and their province as Fars rather than as Pars.

Sound likely north Mesopotamian Arabic who has old Arabic elements and high Aramaic influence

The use of P sound surprised me, as this letter is not in the Arabic alphabet today. Overall it sounds like a prayer to me or duaa. Very poetic.

Is the name Sakran common among Arabs? It is the first time I hear this.

Btw, 7abiby. Foreman just did another 6 Safaitic inscriptions:
