Arabic Language Grammar

Arabic language grammar is the intricate system governing the structure of the Arabic language, a key field within Semitic linguistics. Its most defining feature is the triliteral root system, where a core of three consonants forms the basis for a wide family of related words through the application of predictable patterns. The grammar is highly inflectional, utilizing a complex system of case endings (*ʾiʿrāb*) to mark the grammatical function of nouns and adjectives, and employing extensive verb conjugations that denote person, gender, number, and mood. This precise framework, which traditionally favors a Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) sentence structure, is essential for the correct interpretation of classical literature, religious texts like the Qur'an, and Modern Standard Arabic.
