ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Arablish

Arablish is a word that describes a type of language that is a mix of Arabic and other languages, like English or French. It's like when you combine two different colors of playdough to create a new color!

In arablish, you might hear words and phrases that are from Arabic such as "Salam Alaikum" (which means 'peace be upon you') or "Insha'Allah" (which means 'God willing'). However, you might also hear words that are from other languages like "food" or "computer".

It's a very common way of speaking in places where Arabic is spoken as people find it easy to communicate by using words from both languages.
