Fun sidenote : ancient arabic didn't have the dots you see on pic related, scribes had to guess letters based on the regular usage. And since it's a semetic language there's no vowels either.

There's also a bunch of arabic words and verbs that have the same root (composed of three letters) yet have completely different meanings based on the vowels, since arabic litterature doen't even bother writing down the vowels, you have to guess the meaning based on the context, good luck if it's an ancient text using obscure antiquated versions of words that share roots with regular words used in everyday life, even the readers that are fluent in arabic have to use dictionaries to understand anything there.

The only advantage is that there's no silent consonants or silly letter constructions like there are in modern western european languages.

But still many Arabs (and other Muslims) act like Arabic is the best, purest or most efficient language.

Greek is not worse than Latin which was actually the alphabet of Greeks in shitaly.

kek, there's ethnocentric people all over the world, people claiming a glorious past ranging from full country-sized LARP sessions (FYROM or HRE for exemple), to the regular "WE WUZ" theories, that all big countries did at least once, theories that all th great men and women of history were actually slavs, or blacks.

Tbh I find it less obnoxious in Arabs, at least it's a subjective opinion.

And btw since arabic is so complicated, it has more nuances in its poetry and songs, arabic pop songs and raps can get very creative with their metaphors and hidden meanings, which is probably why you hear that. On the downside, arabic becomes too unprecise when writing about science or legislation, beautiful but pretty unpractical.

The exact same thing can be said about many languages. Arabic is not special.
Especially Hebrew, Sanskrit, Chinese and Japanese are known for having these properties as well.

never claimed that it was kek

I don't think you speak any of those languages, they have nuances too but in a different way

There are no "tones" in arabic like in chinese, pronouns are basic (muslim mentality is pretty egalitarian, so there are no cast-specific formulas) contrary to japanese. I don't know the specifities of hebrew but since 40% of the vocabulary is shared with arabic i guess it's similar.

I think every language has its beauty though, not putting one above the other just trying to be as objective as possible
