Very much so. Their own dialects,the most confusing being Tunisian followed by Morrocan imo.

They speak Berber languages and those languages have nothing to do with Arabic. There's one common denominator though and that is the Afro-Asiatic language group they both belong to. However when north Africans speak Arabic its easy to understand but their dialect might be different. Just like the Lebanese dialect of Arabic is different from the dialects spoken in the Arabian peninsula.

Fah,

It was not written in Arabic, it was written in Latin alphabet "Towsha". This was in email I received from a co-worker. Since she was a female and was trying piss me off "the wild horse" :lol: :lol: sounds appropriate.

fom tasha: afsomali yaacaayo, malaa yacni or meaningless but they use it as no big deal.
Tosha like meel buuq badan, bood boo badan, deganaasho la aan, so they say tasha wa hosha, means like haraj wa maraj.

No. they say tajjah, in the gulf they say dawsha, in iraq they say hawsha. Tawsha is an eastren arabic word from syria to yemen but some just say tawsh instead of tawsha. The common arabic word is izcaaj.

Your Arabic knowledge is impressive. Do you know what كوشة means? I believe it's Libyan.

Thanks brother.
Kushaan has nothing to do with the modern blacks, there has been the arabian kush before the semites who arrived from what they call now kurdistaan. They pushed the cushites back of the water. These people were just darker not the blacks of today. The prophet moses wife ziphora was from arabian cush, she wasn't black. Then there happened a mistake from the part of the greek bible translator, he wrongly translated cush to " ethiopian" wich means sudan the same greek name for sudan. Since then sudan was known both cush and ethiopia(nubians) wich have nothing to do with eachother because sudan doesn't speak cushitic language but a nilo-saharan black languages except the beja tribe at the red sea.
And then there happened a second mistake translating habasha as ethiopia.
