Mentioning the topic from previous session which was culture vs Islam, I would like to elaborate on the topic to my interest in Languages and mention the differences in "Arabic". Today in present day there is various dialects from the Levantine dialect of "Shaloni'ic" to the "Dearborn" Dialect of "sho cuz" or "Wallah Bro", but the main one is Standard Arabic which is familiar among Arabic speakers. I feel the the Culture vs Islam is similar to this case because words are claimed to be "Arabic" in dialects, but may have been derived from previous languages like how people claim some of their cultural customs are incorporated with Islam. In my opinion Dialects are very unique and important because its kind of like a "tray of Pastries", the pastries symbolize the various words that have been preserved from classical or modern languages. Although dialect may be a wonderful thing there is a standard Arabic and it is "Formal", so that means its important as well.
