زبان قرآن

Language of the Quran

Muslimʹs general opinion has always been that the Quran is sent down in Quraysh language. Language of all pre-Islamic poems and sermons has also been Quraysh language. Considering historical linguistics, however, Orientalists have generally deined that principle Of course, we know that by Quraysh language is not meant an independent and entirely different language from that of other tribes; rather, difference in phonetics of some words and structures, and not all of them, is meant. Now, our researches have indicated that the theory of Quranic language being of Quraysh is not confirmed by a good number of scholars as well as certain evidence. Here, we narrate a relatively comprehensive list of traditions and then deal with their comparison, survey, and criticism.
