"George is English."

Translation: جورْج إِنْجِليزِيّ.

[ShivaRadha]

It's confusing - England is "ingiltira", whereas English is "injiliizii". Is this how it is in spoken parlance? Or is the bot pronunciation screwed up?

[benton.1]

It would be nice if some native speakers would help out, and also tell us what dialect they speak and compare it to the MSA pronunciation. Like EvgenyCat, I learned to pronounce it as a hard g and my Arabic dictionary has it written with a hard g: inglizi for both the noun and the adjective. My dictionary also chooses to spell the "g" sound with a ك /kaaf instead of a ج /jiim.

[chrichrichi]

The Arabic word for English - do you say it with a "j" or a "g".

[EvgenyCat]

I know it as "Ingleezee"

[DonRamiresz]

I am wondering also

[VlandroV]

What makes the difference with ّ (يّ...) or without ّ (ي...) in the word English?

[RaphaelMuk3]

with the يّ... is the nationality, so "English" and the other one is the Country, "England"
