(The impact of the Arabic language on the Saraiki language

Abstract

The Saraiki language is one of the ancient languages ​​on the plain of the earth, and it is a sweet  language, possessing a rich treasure of words and an abundant sea of ​​organized and scattered literature.

 1- The orientalists held that the Saraiki language originated from the language of the Aryan nation, which is called Sanskrit.

 2- Some linguists and researchers of the Syriac language have argued that it is a branch of the Syriac language.

 This view was unique to the Saraiki researcher and investigator, Bashir Ahmed Al-Dhami, who believes that the Saraiki language is the first language emerging in the Sindh and did not branch out from any other language, and that the Sanskrit language has branched out from the waist of this language.

 The Arabic language has influenced the Saraiki language a lot in different directions, including:

   1- Some Arabic alphabets were introduced to the Saraiki language, such as: Th, R, Z, T, Z, Z, G, Q.

 2- The Arabic calligraphy was adopted and  they started to write Saraiki in Naskh script.

 3- The Arabic words and vocabulary have entered Saraiki, we can divide them into three sections, as will be clear in the following pages.

 This language has been affected by Arabic in terms of the origins and rules as well, and shares with it many wisdom and proverbs, so you will see all of this later.

When I studied prominent effects of Arabic language on my mother tongue Seraiki I was impressed, therefore I thought it proper to collect these effects into an artical. So that the others may also benifit from it .
