Abstract

The issue of the influence of the Arabic language on the western languages, and the borrowing of the Indo-European languages, has been widely discussed among linguists. linguists approved this effect, and some of them denied it. Therefore, this study aims to address some of the vocabulary available in the Indo-European languages and trace their meanings that are compatible with the Arabic vocabulary and their significance and highlight the meaning that the Arabic word when it was borrowed in the Indo-European languages. The study will analyze the extent of the change that occurred to the word, its structure of the word and its significance in the Arabic language. The study followed the descriptive analytical approach in the significance of the vocabulary borrowed in the Indo-European languages from the Arabic language. The study concluded, after analyzing and following the structure of the word and its meaning in the Indo-European languages, that there are borrowed words that took one meaning in the Arabic language, and that some vocabulary bears the same meaning in the Arabic language, with a slight distortion in its structure and spelling. There are vocabularies mentioned in Indo-European languages have come with the same meaning in several Indo-European languages such as French, English, and German.
