The arabic language
Arabic is used in different dialects from Morocco to Iraq. Among Muslims is considered a sacred language, since it was through him that the Qur’an was revealed. From 622 CE, the year of the Hijrah (when Muhammad fled from Mecca and took refuge in Medina, marking the beginning of the Muslim calendar), Arabic became the most widespread living language within the trunk of the Semitic languages. So today, about 150 million people consider it their mother tongue.
There are two variants: classical Arabic and popular. The classic represents the sacred language of Islam and was born in the ancient tradition of oral literature of the pre-Islamic nomadic peoples. The Koran was dictated in classical Arabic and it is in this language that the people pray in the mosques, repeating loudly the long suras that, according to the belief, were dictated to Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel. After all, colloquial Arabic is a normative language, used in conversations and in the media. The phonetic system has 28 consonants and three vowels with one long and one brief sound.
Consecutive Interpretation
In this mode, the interpreter hears what is said, (writes it down), and only then does he verbally translate what had been said. Consecutive interpretation is more commonly used in court (in marriages, for example), meetings, dinners and events with a limited number of participants.
