My new interview with historical linguist @PhDniX, providing a broad overview of the present state of the field of Qur'anic studies & history of early Islam: e.g. the traditional life of Muhammad vs. the Qur'an text, Qur'anic Arabic and variant readings aymennaltamimi.com/p/quranic-stud…

@Rurouni_Phoenix new day new theory for our friends at Pfander 😂

Freeman already saw in 1860 that in traditional Tifinagh ligatures are very useful for reading. I am not sure this has been said any time after this until Elghamis 2011.
It seems that René Basset used classical Arabic in his fieldwork with an - according to him - entirely uneducated Riffian seasonal worker in Algeria. How can we understand otherwise the confusion between "horse" and "hoe"? I guess he asked "faras" and got "fās"
The schedule for IQSA 2024 in London is now online. The lineup is really really good. And especially for the manuscript and qirāʾāt people there is so much interesting stuff this year! Glad Europe has come out in force to flex its philological muscles. event.fourwaves.com/iqsa2024/sched…
Some thoughts on what to make for the early critics of qirāʾāt variants that eventually come to be seen as unassailable verbatim from God in this thread. I think they believed these readings had enough authority to be transmitted fully, even despite their occasional issue.

@Saim_alQadhi @ConciseReason Yes, what I think al-Ṭabarī is doing when he is criticizing readings is making a probabilistic argument: We need to scrutinize the readings to find out which of these are *most likely* the words of the prophet. This approach, to many muslims today, has become anathema.
The Hadith 🤝 the Midrash Noah cutting a deal with the devil to share the grapevine
Excited to share a new project that I'm working on: usul.ai Usul brings the latest advances in AI into Islamic research, giving the ability to query and search entire book collections or eras. The product is free and open-source.
She's finally in the game!! This character was a huge labor of love in collaboration with @KirillSenzu for sculpting and we worked on the concept together with @BlueChaos1811 and @RayvellArt did most of the texturing. More coming soon! #indiegames #indie_anime #UnrealEngine

@avzaagzonunaada @nephew_jonathan @neilalexanderw1 IPA should not be used in descriptive grammars when giving phonemic transcriptions. It suggests phonetic detail which isn't given. And esh should be banned altogether, even within IPA-based phonetic transcriptions.
Did a generativist plant this tree?
@azforeman Arabic is sacralized, the Greeks don't like to be reminded that the classical world wasn't miraculously reborn in the 19th century, and I assume the Icelanders is just one guy (20% of entire country)
@azforeman Many Arabs are taught that the Fusha pronunciation they grew up learning has been static since the dawn of time. They will always be especially taken aback by the affricate ص. Not sure about it myself tbh. How sure are we that ص was an affricate?
My takeaway is that Arabs only learned to pronounce their language right in the late Abbasid period.
Anecdotally this tracks with my more recent experiences with students.
For decades, social science has 'known' that women are more religious than men. However, if you track the religiosity of young adults - something really interesting happened. Women are more likely to claim no religious affiliation than men. It started around 2016.

I'm sick of this nonsense. It's not a matter of white supremacy (honestly I don't see how the hell one can call Ben Gvir white) it's a matter of discrimination against Palestinians by a Jewish Supremacist, The US understanding of race is barely relevant.

Ultimately, it is an inevitability, because classical Hanafism will always be at irreconcilable odds with Ahl al-Hadith and Athari thought. The problem is when the interlocutor doesn’t even attempt to understand the reason for the differences and resorts to accusations of zandaqa
