The makers of "The Assassins" respond to the most critical criticism the series has faced

The heroes and makers of the series “The Assassins” responded to the criticism most directed at the work, which is the use of colloquial language instead of classical Arabic in the context of the series, and this began at the beginning of the series’ announcement during the month of Ramadan.

Karim Abdel Aziz responds to the use of slang The artist, Karim Abdel Aziz, commented while hosting the work team with the media personality Lamis Al-Hadidi, saying: The goal of works of art around the world, especially this huge work of art, is to reach the largest possible audience. “It is very important and carries an important message, so using colloquial language of course facilitates that task and makes the dialogue more widely understood.”

He continued in his interview with the journalist Lamis Al-Hadidi on the “The Last Word” program on the “On” channel: “Egyptian colloquial is the most familiar and understandable dialect for us in the entire Arab world, and therefore I strongly support its use.”

He added further: “The writer Abdel Rahim Kamal achieved a difficult equation, and used a mixture of classical Arabic and colloquial Egyptian. Given the atmosphere of the place and the elegance of the story, there are certain words that must be pronounced in classical Arabic.” Combining the two is beneficial to the viewer in the frame, and through hard work and simplifying the work, I give it a historical character, and I hope it reaches as many people as possible.”

Abdul Rahim Kamal: Slang is intended for the Assassins The great writer and screenwriter Abdel Rahim Kamal also defended the use of colloquial dialects in the series, denying that this was a kind of disdain for the existence of young artists who do not know the Arabic language, and said: Egyptian colloquial language is basically an eloquent language, spoken by 110 million Egyptians and understood by 450 million Arabs, therefore It is understandable, and it is eloquent, important and connected Arabic. "

He continued. “The Arabic language is an easy and clear language, but on the contrary, in the context of historical drama, the Arabic language is used incorrectly in some works, such as when the devil speaks in Arabic, and when the devil speaks in classical Arabic, also when they make the Romans use it.

He added: "The choice of colloquial language is a correct and deliberate choice and has nothing to do with the actors. In the past, it was said that if a Yemeni met a Moroccan, the script needed an Egyptian."

As for director Peter Mimi, he says, “Standard Arabic does have an influence, but colloquial Arabic is easy to understand and has different forms. Some people prefer Arabic, and others prefer colloquial Arabic.”
