Arabic to Tigrinya

Both Arabic and Tigrinya belong to the Semitic language family, sharing a distant common ancestor that dates back thousands of years. ^[4] However, they have evolved along separate branches for millennia.

Arabic is a Central Semitic language, while Tigrinya belongs to the South Semitic branch alongside Amharic and Ge'ez. This means they have vastly different grammatical structures, vocabularies, and writing systems despite their ancient shared roots.

Transliteration is a process of transferring similar-sounding words from one language to another. To give you an example, typing “salaam“ will be transliterated into “سلام“.

Whereas, translation is a process of converting the written word from one language to another. For example, converting text written from Arabic to Tigrinya.

Our online translation software uses either Google, Microsoft, or Yandex to translate word, sentence, and phrase from Arabic to Tigrinya.

Whenever you enter words, sentences, or phrases in Arabic and click on the “Translate” button, our software sends a request to Google, Microsoft, or Yandex for translation.

Their backend system uses some of the cutting edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, Web APIs, Big Data, etc to perform high-quality translations, and send back the response in Tigrinya.

All this process just takes a split second.

Arabic is written from right to left, a characteristic it shares with other Semitic languages like Hebrew. This right-to-left direction developed in the Arabian Peninsula and has been maintained throughout Arabic's history.

Tigrinya, however, is written from left to right using the Ge'ez script (Fidel). This ancient writing system originated independently in the Horn of Africa over 2,000 years ago and follows the left-to-right pattern.

These different writing directions reflect the separate historical and geographical development of these language communities despite their distant linguistic kinship.

However, because Arabic and Tigrinya have quite different grammatical structures, complex sentences and idiomatic expressions may require human review. Word order, verb conjugations, and culturally-specific terms can sometimes be challenging.

For best results, use clear, simple sentence structures and break long, complex thoughts into shorter phrases.

Our Arabic to Tigrinya translation software uses automated machine-language technology provided by Google or Microsoft. As humans are not involved, in some cases it will miss the context and cultural nuances of the language.

Furthermore, the Google and Microsoft Translation API is evolving every day and as time goes by the translation result is going to be pretty accurate.

The most significant challenge is different word order patterns. Arabic typically follows Verb-Subject-Object order, while Tigrinya uses Subject-Object-Verb structure. This requires substantial sentence restructuring during translation.

Another challenge involves culturally-specific vocabulary. Each language has unique terms for local customs, foods, religious concepts, and social practices that may lack direct equivalents in the other language.

The opposite writing directions (Arabic right-to-left, Tigrinya left-to-right) and distinct phonetic inventories also create complexity. Some sounds exist in one language but not the other.
