That's pretty cool. What about Aristotle?

>>16211697
Arastoo / ارسطو

But I am not sure if it's originally an Arabic or Urdu name

Aflatoon is heavy as fuck
i wish socrates had a better name in arabic, its just socrat

It's Iflatun and Aristu.

The Islamic golden age seemed pretty comfy

its different when you translate it to english, even what you said is not 100% correct, that's way arabic is way more complicated.

Are you the kind of brainlet who thinks his dialectical pronunciations are at all relevant to transliteration of written Arabic? The correct pronunciation of those names is Iflatun and Aristu. I do not care if anyone - including myself - says Iflaton and Aristo, because that has no bearing on the transliteration.

>Are you the kind of brainlet who thinks his dialectical pronunciations are at all relevant to transliteration of written Arabic?
how did assume that?
>he correct pronunciation of those names is Iflatun and Aristu.
some will pronounce it Aflatoon and Aristo, depends on the person like i said.
>I do not care if anyone - including myself - says Iflaton and Aristo, because that has no bearing on the transliteration.
who said you should care anon? everyone is different in the way of pronouncing it even sometimes in the same region.

It's ok. Everyone knows arabs can't into philosophy anyways, so who cares how they pronounce philosophers' names.
Arabs try to cope being philosophers by taking all the credit form the iranians and say its all muslim (conveniently this itme) so it's theirs as well.

this bait is so bad its not even funny, at least try something better anon...

Hello Mr. Jorjani

>>16211994
>how did assume that?
Because that's what you keep saying.
>Pronounce it
You're missing the point. The pronunciation of any living person is completely irrelevant. No one would transliterate ثقافة as ti'afeh or tgafah or tkafah, with the sole exception of transliteration of dialectical speech, because it is a word in written Arabic. إفلاطون and أرسطو are the same. Transliteration of these names comes not from any given dialect, but from the written standard. In the written standard, these words are Iflatun and Aristu.

Arabic and Arab ethnicity aren't mutually exclusive. Every know that Islamic golden age happened in Persia and Baghdad.

>>16211835
dunno bout arabic but in Hindi he is called sukraat

>>16212035
>Persia and Baghdad.
both are iranian

>>16212026
now i got you, thank you anon شكرا!
>>16212051
>baghdad is iranian
back then baghdad was the center of the world, filled with different cultures you really cant say its iranian.
and if you mean now? the day of freedom is near.

>>16212070
NewYork is also the center of world but it doesn't mean that it isn't American

>>16211997
This. Arabs are Semites after all.

>>16212091
sorry what?
baghdad was and still arabic despite the difficult political climate its now...
>New York is also the center of world but it doesn't mean that it isn't American
you are talking now days anon... if we are talking as so, baghdad isnt the center of the world right now but it doesn't mean that it isn't iraqi.

>>16212035
What about Iberia and NA
The last great work before they all got turked was written in the Maghreb

>>16211692
What's parousia and Logos in Arabic?

>>16211835
Italian is Socrate and Greek is Sokrate so it's actually closer than English.

>>16213416
oh yeah way closer
