Batra بالعربي
and Petra بالإنجليزي
I can't see where's the problem ...
The problem is that Jordaians are calling it Petra, 3ashan el ordoneyeh dayman 2afya3 inhom ye7ko be el ingleeze, fa benadooha petra. Got me?
In any language it is Petra.
it is not Arabic. It is a Greek word meaning rock.
whosane, I can't see the problem too.
رأيي الشخصي أن الأصل هي
كونها مأخوذة من اللاتينيةPetra
وتعني الصخرة أو الحجر، فإن كان الأردنيون
يلفظونها بهذه الطريقة فهي الأصوب رغم ما يعتقدونه (أنها أفيع) بالإضافة أن البتراء في العربية هي مؤنث كلمة الأبتر، (نقول مثلاً خطبة بتراء) وبالتالي بشكلها العربي لا تليق منزلتها
Nabataeans were Arabs and it is an Arabic city, so it would be better called in its Arabic name.
I have never seen an egyptian calling Al Ahramat by pyramids, or calling Abu el hoal by Sphinx!!!
So when the Nabataeans built it has an Arabic name not a greek one. Like when the Muslims built Al-Hamra palace which still holds its name to this moment.
Aboud, the problem is that Nabateans did not call it Petra, this name was given by Romans. Is supposed that Petra was previously named "Sela" (in Arabic: سلع) But I think it's not appropriate now to call petra sela3 :)
(Another name of Petra is said to be Rekem) for more info..
issa, well El Siq is called El Siq, Al-Khazneh is called with its name.
Well it looks that globalization started loooong time ago, to have an Arabic thing in an Arabic country made by Arabic people named a latin name?!!!
oh ok, now I get you aboud :) ... yeah Jordanians are fay3een la allah! lol
