Old Arabic Dialects in the Noble Quran with Reference to Translation into English
Abstract
The present study investigates the translation of some dialectal words in the Noble Quran into English. It raises the question of how far the translators of the Noble Quran have paid attention with regard to the issue of old Arabic dialects in their translated versions. It is hypothesized that the issue of dialect has not been given due attention. Having analyzed the translations of sample verses with dialectal words, the hypothesis has proven its validity. Accordingly, it is recommended to revise the translations of the dialectal words.
