The Arabic names of calendar months of the Gregorian calendar are usually phonetic Arabic pronunciations of the corresponding month names used in European languages. An exception is the Syrian calendar used in the Levant, which names most of its Gregorian months after Aramaic names for months of the Babylonian calendar that occur at roughly the same time of year.[1] The Gregorian calendar is used nearly in all countries of Arab world, in many places long before European colonization. Currently, all Arab states save Saudi Arabia (which uses the Islamic calendar for all purposes) use the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes. The names of the Gregorian months as used in Egypt, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen are widely regarded as standard across the Arab world, although the Levantine names are often used alongside them. In other Arab countries some modification or actual changes in naming or pronunciation of months were observed. The names of the Gregorian calendar months in the different countries of the Arab world were as follows:
[edit] Egypt, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen
[edit] LevantThese names are used primarily in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestinian territories and Jordan. These months are likely derived from the Aramaic names of the old Semitic lunisolar calendar, and the names Šubāṭ, 'Ādār, Nīsān, 'Ayyār, Tammūz, 'Āb, Aylūl, and Tišrīn are cognate with the names of the approximately equivalent months of the Hebrew calendar: Shevat, Adar, Nisan, Iyar, Tammuz, Av, Elul, and Tishrei.
[edit] LibyaThe names of months used in Libya were derived from various sources, and were assembled after Muammar al-Gaddafi's seizure of power in 1969.
[edit] Algeria and TunisiaThe names of the Gregorian months in Algeria and Tunisia are based on the French names of the months, reflecting France's long colonization of these countries (1830-1962, 132 years, in Algeria and 1881-1956, 75 years, in Tunisia). The original French names are therefore listed below.
