Help[Facts] Re: The problem in the case of the Arabic language...
in reply to a message by Lumia
There are only 2 diphtongs in arabic possible: au and ai. All other spellings are dialect forms.
In the Quran in Surah 92 the speaker also says "leil" like "ei" in "day" but it should be correctly "lail" like "my" and "by".
It seems that today no one speaks really "laila".
In song texts like Laila wa Lail of Umm Kalthoum you hear more "laila" like "my"
and in the lyrics of Sherine "A ya leil" you hear more "leila" like "day".
Please tell me whether you share this opinion with me.
