    Interesting topic. Very few people take the time to dive into the etymology of words and history of things. Many would be surprised that most languages are a great mixture of so many different influences. I like that you mentioned Arabic speaking Persian scholars :)

    Quite honestly, I thought these words were added the other way around, from Europian languages to Arabic. Arabic rocks much like the humour in this video!

    Great video. I'm an Arab and I knew of some words in English that originated from Arabic like coffee and zenith and azimuth, but I had no clue there were so many words! Btw your pronunciation of Arabic words is remarkably good (assuming your native language isn't Arabic).

    I were here just to laugh on the pronunciation of Arabic vocab😂, then 0:45 came and boom, I heard the letters ص خ ق pronounced in excellent way, if Arabic is not the native language of the creator, I would say that she have put a great effort for this video. Edit: She is not native Arabic speaker, I found that from 1:58, as some Harakat (Diacritics or Short vowels) are a little bit foreign, but man, it's an amazing level of pronunciation for non-natives.

    Your answer shows racism. Yes, there are words taken from Arabic due to trade . Arabs words used by Europeans during the trade . I taught Arabic in college. You need to have a different look . Here some Arabic words in English. Mirror from Ra'a: past tense saw in Arabic. Ya ra present tense. Noun is Mir A in Arabic..which became mirror in English. Many words like Coffee, Algebra, Alchemy, Sugar, Zaitoon , became Olives. Orange originally Narange in Arabic. Alcohol from Kuhol in Arabic. Camera originally from Komyra which means small moon from Arabic word Kamar which means moon Etc etc.

    Is it imperialism, yes, much like many other imperial powers, not all peoples are imperial though, however, the imperial ones get more attention influence and unite larger spaces creating a genuine reason for their superiority. A non-imperial little island people would probably be hunter-gatherers, plain and simple Does that mean that Arabic-speaking peoples created more knowledge? the answer is a fat no, their not the people who created the internet, the car, the electricity and so on, and the works were based off of Greek, Chinese, Persian and Indian knowledge, which doesn't take anything from that value of addition, this is one reason why the old world emerged over the "new" world, we are interconnected. The Western civilization in the broad sense has created so much more knowledge, can you compare life before the and after al-jabra? yes, compare it by the pre-industrial era. We can talk about English words in Arab dialects, as Radio, Television and the internet, but this won't make an interesting underdog story, and it's pretty much known anyway.

    Lol saying that they took everything from other civilizations without adding anything is the most retarded shit I saw in your comment, they took the knowledge from other civilizations ( like any civilization in history of mankind cuz knowledge is something cumulative ) and develop it and even made new sciences new theories and changed the history of science forever saying they just copied things is the stupidest shit even to say in fact they added more than what they copied and correct more from what they copied more than what they left If we're going to use your same logic than the western civilization stole everything from other civilizations ( they didn't even have scientific honesty like Arabs ) bro even your culture is stolen from the Greeks and the Romans, this civilizations classify themselves as eastern civilizations western and north europeans were believed to be unwashed barbarians who doesn't have the capability to be civilized according to the Greeks and Romans themselves you only stole their culture after the fall of Rome at the hands of barbaric German tribes the same why you stole science and knowledge after the fall of Andalusia and how you took muslims maliki law from Egypt after French campaign against Egypt to make the french law the base of all western law today As for electricity and the internet and all that great invasion yaah it's all great and all but it won't remove the superiority of Islamic civilization over the west that even the most haters of Islam among orientalists believe in it and can't deny it lol even the king of the UK couldn't deny it it's just a historical fact no matter how much edgy keyboard warriors teenagers hate it, but you forget the greatest discovery humanity made that you won't have any of those inventions without it something no civilization before Islamic civilization made it's scientific methodology
