techdict talk:Accent

I think لكنة is more accurate than نبرة, I've changed it.

what about لهجة? --Maysara.abdulhaq 15:12, 10 December 2006 (PST)

as far as i understand the terms in arabic, لهجة is accent which is a way of speaking/pronouncing words by a group of speakers of a certain language compared to another group speaking the same language, so we say لهجة مصرية، لهجة شامية، لهجة خليلية , and لكنة is when a someone speaks in some language in a way that show its not his/her mother tongue! like when germans speak english or frensh speak german or arabs speak english. which is called in english "foreign accent". i suppose one can speak لهجة خليجية with لكنة مصرية !! :) My question is, why is this word in the techdict! what context did it appear in?--Maysara.abdulhaq 16:23, 10 December 2006 (PST)
