...لا شك ان اللغة العربية قد أثرت في كثير من لغات العالم :قديما وحديثا ومنها اللغة الانجليزية وهنا اسرد بعضا من هذه الكلمات:

English Words from Arabic
As with the list of Amerindian words, this list isn't exhaustive-- the OED has over 900 words; but the others are obscure (words like enam, sulham, zibib). I've omitted speculative and less likely derivations, and also words borrowed in ancient times from some unspecified Semitic language (e.g. cumin, myrrh, sesame). I've also omitted Arabic place names, but included a few astronomical names.
After a second hyphen I give (if possible) the further derivation (Greek, Persian, etc.), or the verbal root (glossed as an infinitive; but the citation form of Arabic roots is actually the 3sg past).

Some words are borrowed directly from Arabic; but most of these words have taken the scenic route, through Spanish, Italian, and/or French; or through Turkish, Persian, or Urdu; or through Hebrew or Latin. This produces a good deal of phonological deformation; as does the dialect variation within Arabic.

The transliteration is an adaptation to html, while we're waiting for the Unicode revolution... the bolding and commas represent emphatic consonants; h' and ` are the pharyngeal approximants; ' is the glottal stop; : represents length.

Paris, le 24.03.05
Chers amis, bonjour,

Voici des renseignements complémentaires sur votre sujet passionnant :

1° Boualem Benhamouda a écrit un livre intitulé "L'Origine arabe de la langue française", Dialogues Editions, Paris, 1996.

Ce titre est des plus fantaisistes puisque la langue française dérive principalement du latin et du grec.

Mais il est vrai que beaucoup de mots français, même parmi des mots clefs, sont empruntés à l'arabe, tels algèbre, aval (hawala), chiffre (sefr), magasin (makhzan). L'exemple le plus amusant est celui de "cancan", c'est-à-dire commérage, terme qui vient de l'arabe Kan Yama Kan qui signifie "Il était une fois".
Sur d'autres exemples, voir mon livre, Histoire des Coptes d'Egypte, Editions de Paris, 2005, p.233.

2° Le Père jésuite Rofail Nakhla a publié un ouvrage fondamental intitulé "Gharaib Al Lugha Al Arabiyya", Dar al Mashreq, 1986, pour démontrer entre autres, l'influence de l'arabe sur une centaine de langues.

3° De même, la langue copte a exercé une grande influence sur les langues européennes, exemple: la langue copte a transmis aux Arabes le mot Kimi (qui signifie "terre noire") devenu en arabe al kiymiaa, transformé en français par "chimie".
Voir Ayoub Farag Ibrahim, Analyse générale de l'argot (égyptien), éd. Kaced Kheir, 1978 (en arabe et en copte).

4° Le Coran contient aussi des mots coptes, tel, Taht qui signifie ventre, terme utilisé dans la Sourate Mariam, verset 24.
Voir As Souyouti, Al Mohazab..., Beyrouth, 1988, p.50.
Pour d'autres exemples, voir Histoire des Coptes d'Egypte, p.436.

5° Selon Louis Awad (1915-1990), le mot coranique Al Samad dérive de l'ancien égyptien Hmtw, qui signifie trois ou trinité. Cet auteur cite aussi des termes pharaoniques voisins qui signifient l'Eternel.Voir Louis Awad, Doctrine (Fiqh) de la langue arabe, Sina, 1993, p.237.

6° L'excellente revue Al Wahda (qui a, hélas, cessé de paraître) a publié en juin 1987, un important dossier sur la langue arabe, il cite des mots communs aux langues pharaonique et arabe, tels Timsah (crocodile) et Zeit (huile).

7° Le pape Chenouda III observe que le mot arabe Lugha vient du grec logos. D'ailleurs le Coran n'utilise jamais le terme "Lugha
" mais celui de Lissan.

8° Notez enfin que les Syriaques, pour mieux traduire la philosophie grecque, ont inventé de nouveaus mots arabes, tel Mantiq (logique), voir, les travaux de Bénédicte Landron et de Samir Khalil (cités dans mon livre, Histoire des Coptes.., p.733).
D'ailleurs beaucoup de mots arabes, voire l'alphabet arabe dérive même du syriaque, v. Samir Abdou, Les Syriens et la civilisation syriaque, Damas, 1998, p.70 et s.
Voir aussi les travaux de Christophe Luxenberg.
Bien cordialement.

KIMI

وهو اسم مصر فى اللغة القبطية (المصرية)

Egypt = (Kimi ) as was pronounced by the
Egyptians for thousands of years
