Is Egyptian Arabic language like western Arabic language or eastern Arabic language?

Although the majority of linguists group it with the Eastern Arabic dialect group, it still shares many similarities with Western Arabic as well. Some linguists agree that Egyptian Arabic constitutes its own group because it is still different from both groups in terms of phonology and semantics. Some similarities between Egyptian and Eastern,e.g, Standard Arabic: Waqtun (time) Eastern(Lebanese): Wa'et Western(Moroccan): Weqt Egyptian: Wa't Standard Arabic: Men (who) Eastern(Lebanese): meen Western(Moroccan): Ashkoon Egyptian: Meen Standard Arabic: Anaa uHibbuka (I love you) Eastern(Lebanese): Enaa bHibbaak Western(Moroccan): Kanebgheek Egyptian: Ana baHebbak Some similarities between Egyptian and Western, e.g, Standard Arabic: Rajulan (man) Eastern(Lebanese): Zalame Western(Moroccan): Rajel Egyptian: Raagil Standard Arabic: Ayna (where) Eastern(Lebanese): Wein Western(Moroccan): Feen Egyptian: Fein Standard Arabic: Lam yabda' (he didn't start) Eastern(Lebanese): Ma ballesh Western(Moroccan): Ma bida-sh Egyptian: Ma bada'-sh In some cases, although rarely, Eastern Arabic may share more with Western Arabic than Egyptian does, e.g, Standard Arabic: Kayfa (how) Eastern(Lebanese): Keef Western(Moroccan): Kifash Egyptian: Izzaay Standard Arabic: Bakaa (he cried) Eastern(Lebanese): Biki Western(Moroccan): Bika Egyptian: 'ayyat Standard Arabic: Sagheerun Eastern(Lebanese): Izgheer Western(Moroccan): Sgheer Egyptian: Sughayyar These are just a few terms that reflect the similarities between Egyptian Arabic and these two Dialect groups. You will more than likely find speakers of Egyptian Arabic who can comprehend Eastern Arabic with ease rather than Western Arabic. In terms of the structure of Egyptian, it is more similar to the Western varieties as shown above ^ with verb conjugations. However in terms of vocabulary and to some extent phonology, Egyptian is more similar to Eastern Arabic.

How do you say brother in Armenian?

depends on your dialect: if you're eastern Armenian, you would say "aghper." if you're western Armenian (most likely diasporan Armenian), you would say "yeghpayr." The above is wrong. In Eastern Armenian the proper way to say brother is եղբայր (yeghbayr) (the 'gh' in this word is pronounced like when you huck a loogie). In Western Armenian the b in yeghbayr is pronounced with a p...that's the only difference. The word ախպեր (Aghper) is a slang word, much like saying "bro" in English... my family is diaspora and we pronounce the word for brother as Yeghpayr
