    Assalamualaikum

    Has Ghamidi sahab any comments on this thing that why Arabic (similar ) words have a common origin (assal).e.g from q d r there is qadar(fate),qidr(pot), miqdaar and so on.(one can see in ‘Mufradat Al Quran of Raghib Asfahani’ )And these all have a common (three alphabets)origin.Like language is a random thing(like Urdu one word from this language other word from other language, unlike Arabic).But in Arabic it seems that people sat down and said, let’s make a new language.Like it has a system(nazm).

    Arabic is the oldest surviving language. Originally all words in older or “mother” languages originated from sounds. So humans used sounds just like animals do. But then human being slowly learn to use or formulate common sounds for most important things in their lives. Those common sounds slowly and gradually became words. Since those common sounds extremely basic therefore remained the bedrock or the backbone of New World formation. This is in a nutshell, our language forms. On the other hand little languages like Urdu or English languages formed naturally due to different cultures coming together via trade and hence different words became common usage and slowly developed into a new language
