Yorelore[]
For much of yorelore, the Arabish tung was only spoken in its ethel of the weastens in and around the Arabish Byland (anward Saudish Arabland, Yemen, Oman, Oned Arabish Emirdoms, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan) until the beginning of the soothsaying of Maughmet, the last soothsayer of the Muslim liefhood. From the boroughs of Mecca and Medina he led his heers north, east, south, and west to overwin the neighboring kingdoms and fiefs of Joudishmen and Arabish Christens, at last oning the Arabs into one Arabish wieldom for the first time in yorelore. Then they infared the Byzantish and Sassanish Coaserdoms to their north, then riding west across North Africa from Egypt to the Great Western Sea. They brought their Muslim troth and their Arabish tung, such that it is now fordealt from Morocco in the west to Iraq in the East, and from Syrrie in the North to Yemen in the south. Over time the inlanders of these sundry lands began to speak Arabish and acknow as Arabs, getting new bytungs swayed by their old inlandish tungs (f.g. Aramaish, Syrrish, Coptish, Berberish). However, the Arabish ortung, which was spake by Maughmet and his followers and in which the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an, is written, stayed weighty and swayful as a wonly tung for note in writing, chaffer, outhwitting, and wieldcraft.
Abecede, Staffcraft, and Reardlore[]
The Arabish tung is written from right to left in a runninghand writ beclipping twenty-eight bookstaffs. It is not a true abecede, but instead an "abgiad" wherein only samedsweyends and long clepends are written, while short clepends go unwritten.
- ا, alef: long clepend, sounds like the "a" in father or the "ea" in "heaven"
- beb: samedsweyend, sounds like the "b" in "brother"
- te: samedsweyend, sounds like the "t" in "take"
- the: samedsweyend, sounds like the "Þ" or "th" in "think"
- gieem: samedsweyend, sounds like the "dge" or "cg" at the end of "bridge"
- ha: samedsweyend, sounds like a deep and breathy "h" as in "who"
Speechcraft[]
The speechcraft of the Arabish tung is grounded on a wieldom of roots, each made of three samedsweyends. From this root is made a staddlely tideword standing for a sundry deed. Other bookstaffs can be eked to the beginning or end of this tideword so as to make a new tideword. This follows a wieldom of "weights," such that each tideword is made up of a three-samedsweyend root tweak by the ekings of one of the ten weights. See the forbisen given for the root ʕ-l-m, meaning "to know:"
- عَلَمَ ʕalama (Weight One, orword) = to know
- ʕallama (Weight Two, deedfrom) = to teach
- taʕallama (Weight Five, selfward) = to learn
These tidewords are then theeded by eking a reard to the beginning for the anward tide, and a reard to the end for the forthwiten tide. The short clepends may also be shifted in steading and shape. See forbisen:
- ʕalama = he knew
- ʕalamat = she knew
- ʕalamtu = I knew
- ʕalamna = we knew
- yaʕlim = he knows
- taʕlimeen = thou knowest (to a lady)
- naʕlim = we know
- yaʕlimun = they know
From these roots and tidewords are made names. See forbisen:
- ʕilm = science (knowledge)
- ʕalam = flag (the mark by which others know thee)
- ʕaalim = a learned man, a bookman, an outhwit (he who knoweth)
- maʕluma = a soothquid (that which is known)
- muʕallim = teacher (he who teacheth)
- ʕaalam = the world (that which is known)
- ʕaleem = knowing; al-ʕaleem is one of the ninety-nine ekenames of God in Islam, meaning in this frame "The All-Knowing."
