    It is said by ghamidi saab that quran came in the arabic of makkah of that time and it was the arabic that quraish used to speak. But what the qabails other than quresh. Did they not speak the arabic. People do come up with words percentages which show that although majority vocabulary is from quresh but traces of other qabails vocabulary is also found in quran.

    Origin or word in some tribe or a country is a thing and its use in a language or dialect is another. Quran used the words which were Arbanized from Persian too, like Sijjeel, Siraaj. Once a word is adopted by a language it is now its own word. as Urdu has adopted the words like computer, Radio etc, no matter they have different origins. So Quran is revealed in the language of Quriash is a valid claim. The claim of Quran that it is Mubeen (clear to understand) can only be confirmed if its audience had no objection to understand its language. No Qurashid every objected that the Quran is not in its own language or dialect and thus somewhat strange or alien or unfamiliar.

      There is no confusion about the arabic part. As the words when borrowed from other languages become the part of language itself. I was confused about other dialects of arabs present at that time among other tribes. There are words which are originated ffrom those dialects. Would we still say that even those were used by quraish so it became their language as well

    It is beyond question to consider that Quran used words which are not in the vocabulary or use of Quraish. There is no way to to claim that Quran used such words which originated in the dialects of other arabic tribes and they were not the part of the language spoken by Quraish. Quran meant to address Quraish, in a clear language. The most authentic source of the language of Qurish is Quran itself. It asked them if they had doubt about it being conceived by Muhammad (PBUH) bring its like.
