    I don't think that your statement is correct at all. There are numerous scholars who beg to differ.
    "Some scholars have taken a second look at the Koran and, like ?Christoph Luxenberg? in his book ?Die Syro-Aramaische Lesart des Koran?, have come up with a different approach, reading the Koran in Arabic and Aramaic side-by-side. He found that the original language was not always pure Arabic, but a dialect from Syria, Syro-Aramaic, as Arabic was not a written language until some two centuries later. The verbal spreading of spiritual texts, recitation, from Christians and Jews happened in a mix of languages, which was in turn translated into Arabic for the Bedouins of the Arabic peninsula. The first time the texts adapted for the Bedouins were written down was in an Arab-Aramaic language."

    But I don't think this should be a battle of scholars and a tit-for-tat "my scholar is better than your scholar". Why don't you show us the words which are typical or exclusive for the dialect of the Quraish and prove it yourself? (al-amiyrs emphasis)
    The modes of recitation do not alter the written language at all. The elongated script of the early Hijazi allowed for different intonations and is the basis for the different forms.

    That is the correct thing to do. I am combining it all in the Entering the Hidden book thread which gives the origin of the words and their meanings.

      Great, so why don't you make a statement and provide the rationale behind it immediately?

      You have, I don't how many, open and unfinished threads on this forum alone, where you constantly promise you WILL do that, you WILL explain that - but never do.

      And just to provide some constructive criticism why not explain the contentious issues first and only then go into details, instead of the other way around?

        The exchanges between StopS and al-miyr is like ego and alter ego talking. I was watching the movie "lord of the rings" and thinking about the character gollum.....
