@HsenAndil @ElijahLeb92 e.g. Troubadours who were peripathetic had the same songs/poetry as genres. Which is why zajal has Andalucian overtones. — PolitiTweet.org

@HsenAndil @ElijahLeb92 Zajal DOES NOT reflect the spoken language, except tangentially. Just as Fus7a in classical did not. Why? Because poets use the language of other poets, often from far away. — PolitiTweet.org

@Marcellenassif @GhifarCh @Decafquest Excellent! In Indo European languages, left (sinistra) and right (dextra) map to good/bad. In Semitic left maps to North, right to South & there seems to be no such dichotomy. Might be more based on cardinal points/colors (Red is South, White is W, Black is North). Am I right? — PolitiTweet.org
