Hey there!

=>Here is ur Answer<=

Arabic and English are two of the most popular languages on Earth. Their popularity is not based on their similarity, however. Both of these languages are very different in a number of significant ways.

How Arabic and English are Different

• Writing and Script

When you compare the way in which Arabic and English appear on the page, you will immediately be struck by the fact that they appear very different. English script reads from left to right, while Arabic script reads from right to left. Print has been the standard way of presenting English writing for centuries, and Arabic is written in a curvy and fluid script. When students are learning Arabic as a second language, it can take some practice for them to learn to differentiate between different letters.

Arabic and English are two of the most popular languages on Earth. Their popularity is not based on their similarity, however. Both of these languages are very different in a number of significant ways.


• Vowel Sounds

In English, there are only five vowels (a, e, i, o, u). Together, they can combine to make 22 distinct sounds. For example, a word like “float” includes a vowel combination that makes a distinct vowel sound. It is different from the one in “fought” or “fat.”

The Arabic language has six regular vowels and two occasional ones, in the same way that the letter “y” acts like a vowel on occasion in English. These vowels only make a single sound each, which means that English has close to three times as many vowel sounds as Arabic.

• Verb Tenses

The English language has a number of verb tenses which do not occur in Arabic. One of them is that Arabic does not have one that corresponds to the verb “to be” in the present tense in English. Many people who are learning to speak English as a second language who are native Arabic speakers will not use the conjugations, “am” and “are” when they are forming sentences. They may say something like, “Where they go?” instead of “Where are they going?”

The Arabic language also doesn’t have a present perfect tense, so there is no way for a person to say the sentence, “I have finished my meal” in that language. An Arabic speaker would say instead, “I finished my meal.”
