I was just wondering, what kind of Arabic language the MEC team speak? And perhaps what middle-eastern country is it native to? Obviously the PLA speaks Chinese.

I'm pretty sure it's just Arabic, spoken throughout most of the Middle East.

Shuqran (sp?) means "thank you" in Arabic, and that's what they say in the game.

lulz, your avatar used to look like that except it was the guy in the black turban.

Yeah, I don't think there's any variants of Arabic, just dialects like most other languages.

Well duh, please elaborate, I'd say the PLA speaks Mandarin. And MEC are speaking Arabic.

It sound more like:
"Don baktor sniper alesh deh nibah!"
But maybe thats just me.

Also:
Oh nos - Sniper!
Du kai yun - UAV
vaha liki moodi mahdah - enemy infantry spotted
Shoe hickto mah be lada - enemy forces spotted
Shoe hickto bai alittle lock be deetle bockalock - Enemy AA spotted
Dumais a glock en un - Shot over
Howitz - over
zhart ti me scar ti me valley - Roger on the supply drop

lol I is bi-lingual.

Well, technically yes, but those dialects are actually quite different.
People from countries in the far West (e.g. Morocco) can have a difficulty understanding people in the east (e.g. Iraq).

I think the Arabic used in BF2 is the classical/standard Arabic (literary Arabic) or some dialect quite near that.

A lot of different opinions there

I cant even really understand it much but:
I think "Husess Mani" (approximate spelling) means "Do you copy?"

Theres another phrase, something like "Upur mopa"
Does anyone (who can even read it ) understand what it means?
