[QUOTE]Originally posted by Snoozin: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Medosa: [b] I know I am going to get a lot of flack here, but I am in support of your parents here... Arabic is not a useful language. In fact I would go as far as saying it should be a dead language... It is very limited and limiting. For example the pathetic effort to translate Cunningham's manual of practical anatomy (Koshari may know), resulted in such howlers as, superficial fascia , being called " safaieeh motaraqreqah sateheyya" for those who may work it out in Arabic...he he he <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/smile.gif"> It may have some beautiful aspects...I concede...but as a practical language in Science, Medicine, or Technology...it is sadly a total dead loss <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/frown.gif"> I will not answer any hate mail on this topic.....specially if it is about Arabic being the language God spoke..etc...but any other OBJECTIVE debate , I will respond to..[/b][/QUOTE] Not hate mail, but I think Arabic's important from a religious perspective at the very minimum, so shouldn't people be taught enough Arabic to understand the Qur'an? Being a non-Arabic speaker who's trying to learn, all I can say is it seems very difficult. If I ever have a child, inshallah, he or she will grow up learning Arabic, even if he or she uses it only for religious purposes. Learning in childhood is so much easier... As for scientific terminology, don't a lot of languages just adopt the term in the language of its discovery? I know computer folks do that a lot. Maybe not so practical for fields such as medicine.
