Any True Emirati's


hillaryrowley any true emiratis here in this forum whose mother, father are emiratis and not the migrated ones or who got the passport for some reason.
Jamal im 99.9% sure ull never meet a true emirati .. cause there aint none .. even the bedouins livin in da deserts are originally in one way or another linkd to iran ( also seen an episode on discovery channel where they said bedouins originate from iran)... basically 80% of the locals are from some part of iran .. the other 20 % are either yemeni or zanzibari or hydarabdi ( indian ) bushra21
true true...
plus what is the difference. i mean if a person is from this country and holds the passport, doesnt that make them an emirati? Jamal the question is .. does it really matter where you from ???? or does it matter what kindda person you are ???? but yea as long as you hold a passport of any nation .. then you are from that nation. bushra21
does this mean if i make up a passport from Happy Land, I will be considered a Happy Landian? Jamal :lol: haha no doubt ... i gotta make one of gangstaland ... so ppl stop doubtin me :wink: yo back up ... its the gangstalandian up in here :rr: bushra21 :lol: d3vilish_ang3l_88 i dont think you can find 100% emarati. dont you think the beauty of dubai is in its diversity ??? well im 1/4 filipino , 1/4 chinese and 2/4 iranian local :D n im damn proud of that ! bushra21 high five for my hot 3eemia sister! Jamal god damnn eastern jewel is iranian too.... damnn gettin to know alotta info today ...

sara_uk and you jamal? d3vilish_ang3l_88 wow..i didnt know EJ was iranian either 8) coool Jamal i is iranian aswell bushra21
:shock:
no shit
:wink: Jamal :lol: Bleakus you wont find any on forum like this one because most of them will probably find them on arabic forums. there are a small minority, there are some in dubai but most of them are in Abu Dhabi. You can know from the name of the families mema 100% Emarati at heart and that's that matters :wink: sara_uk
and 100% sweet uae75
For your clarifications, Bedouins are almot 90% not iranian (if not 100%), they came from all over the arabian peninsula, but not Iran. I doubt you will ever find one true bedouin who will say his origins comes from iran, cuz it doesnt exist. Discovery channel sometimes are not accurate with their information.
With regards to the percentage you mentioned, its only true in Dubai, but not in Abu Dhabi or Ras Alkhaimeh, where as everyone knows are most of the locals reside. :wink:
But as mema mentioned, if you are 100% Emarati at heart then that's what matters :)
Jamal well to me its like this .... it aint the hood u claim ... its does the hood claim you... so wherever or wateva aslong as u keep it real thats all that matters.. an thanks for the knowledge 75 bushra21 I actually know a few families who are bedouins but they're origin is from Iran. But you are right, most of the locals do live in AD, where as in Dubai its mostly 3ajam or what not. Guess thats why they all come to Dubai on the weekends eh :wink: And I agree with you Mema, I'm not considered a local, iranian, lebanese, or palestinian by most, but for me...i would die protecting the countries that my heritage comes from...and i think that is all that matters. my habiby now, it is hard to find a emirati in dubai, but what about next 5-10 year. that will be no more emirati in dubai. maybe you should try learn from now indian-iranian-pakistani language, maybe one day you married a indian guy, and your childreen will be 1/2 emirati and 1/2 indian (hyderabad). it is nice to have different flowers in the garden. isn't it. mema
we already have this combination and they r not less Emiraties thany any pure ones... westside i have a question for u how can u be 1\4 pinoy 1\4 chines n 2\4 irani dont u have jus 2 parents plz explain! :?: Jamal let me take a wild guess on that her mom is probably filipina with chinnese decent and her dad is of iranian decent who is a local... guess thats how d3vilish_ang3l_88
hehehe...right jamal.. :D
lol..my mom's mom is chinese..n my mom's dad is filipino.. hehehe..n both my dad's parents are iranian local.. Jamal killa combo mema
no wonder ur talented girl :wink: d3vilish_ang3l_88 hehehe..say mashalla ! :oops: :oops: sage & onion
Look what has crawled out of the woodwork :lol: hillaryrowley I have made my point, the Land doesnot belong to anyone, we belong to that land. It's not what the land can give you, it's what I can give to this land. So stop saying anyone that they don't belong here and get out of this beautiful land-Dubai. This makes all of us immigrants. Headlines in US now is about the immigrants and how to stop them from coming to US. so I was thinking that this whole country is made of immigrants and people who speak about this are themselves have ancestors from Europe or somewhere else. Bleakus
not completely dude, there are people who were here who are real emiratis, but the majority are immigrants
its all good sage & onion
Good old adage
"Home is where the heart is" rudeboy lol dont know wots the big deal with locals i mean they just humans. dont know who started this POST and for wot reason. but to be honest with you we have had this kind of topic before and it aint fun finding out whose local and who aint. for gods sake DUBAI is your home you live here so you are the local ppl init. you shop here eat here drink here club here so you are the local ppp . :D but if you ask me the real LOCAL ppl out there in the desert ;) whoever posted this POST i suggest you organize a expedition to the desert who knows you might fine the "local" ppl and their LOST city :D Sara1983 UAE has one of the most diverse population in the Middle East. Since the mid-1980s, people from all across South Asia have settled in the UAE. UAE's better living standards and high economic opportunities have made it an attractive destination for Indians. In 2006, there were approximately 1.2 million Indian nationals in the UAE, making them the largest expatriate community in the oil-rich nation[1].

Distribution of Nationalities Origin
Emiratis (local Arabs) 11%
Other Arabs 21%
South Asians 57%
Western & east Asian 11%
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia SSense Who said there aint any true emiratis on this forums?! Im a true emirati, born and brought up in Al-Ain, moreover my parents were born here too, if any of you know true emiratis then you'd know that im a true one too, cuz im Al Dhahri... Cheers ! Legendkiller
Your on the right track...exept for the percentage part :D

Not true bleakus... like jamal earlier said u will never find a 100% true emirat... cause all of them come originally from other countris like iran and yemen

Like i said to bleakus..you cannot find one true emirat... all the locals are originally from Yemen/Iran/and other countries... even if you think you parents are 100% local..think again..their parents/grandparents came from elsewhere...ask your parents.... Sheikh Zayed himself was originally from Yemen! sage & onion
Welcome to DF SSense mema
True.. :) WaterWater
Pretty much every place on earth has 'local' people whose ancestors came from somewhere else.
Sometimes they migrated gradually from nearby places - the ancient Romans into surrounding Mediterranean lands, southern African Xhosas migrating down over generations from central Africa, Iranians into the Emirates.
And sometimes they arrived with a bang - the Scandinavian Vikings in England, the Irish in what was to become the United States of America, the Spaniards in South America, or the English in Australia.
That's the nature of human migratory life on this planet.
But a conversation like this becomes very here-and-now very quickly. I think it's important to stand back and look at the bigger picture about migration, beyond your current reality.
I think what is key to this discussion is the extent to which a country or a region allows assimilation . In other words, to what extent does it facilitate people moving in and becoming part of the landscape, becoming what we call 'locals'.
And that is where the UAE is quite interesting.
Because of course, today it barely allows assimilation at all.

Well yes, exactly.
But today, by current laws and in the current cultural climate, if you move here from wherever and have children here and they have children here and they have children here and so on, even after some hundred years, if all things remain the same, those great-great-grandchildren of yours will remain 'guest-workers'.
They will never be citizens of the UAE, but only residents.
This, to me, is why we find the topic of local-or-not so fascinating.
So, I disagree with rudeboy that
You will probably never be a local.
It's not a good thing or a bad thing, it's only a thing about this region that guests, for now, should remember.
WW Rashed I was doing some searchs on google, and I stopped in your forum. Jamal's and LegendKiller stoped me by there replies. I think this 2 guys are poor in history and culture subjects. Jamal, There is real Emiraties in UAE, just switch on your car (if you have, or take a taxi), and go forward Al-Ain, Ras-Alkhaimah and to the small villages ans oasis, you will find the real beduins (like me). As Dubai is a buisiness city, you will see the others, but when you go to find the real original emiraties, you will find them in the oasis and villages and other emirates. I'm a real Emirati, we are from here from many many many many years, I mean before Islam came to these countries. and we don't have any one from my incest to us who is Iranian or from other country. LegendKiller, You are kidding to trying to be smart? Dear, we know and every body know that the arabs come from Yemen, so why are saying that we are not really Emiraties because we are coming from Yeme. Adam wasn't arab and wasn't Indian, we all belong to him, so are all from his country. where is his country? The countries and the borders came before few years, and before there wasn't the arabs, after Sad Al-Ma'areb, they went to Saudi Arabia, UAE (Oman before), Oman and other countries. ( so originally every body know they are from Yemen). then they lived in these new places, and belong to these new places. after the borders came to distinguesh the countries, these arabs haven't changed their places, and then they called Yemeni, Emirati, Omani, and Iraqi etc... sorry about my broken english. bonitta lots of new info..I didn't know iraniand are local in emirates bear
It's definately better than being 1/9th Irish, 1/18th Scottish, 1/18th English, 1/9th German, 1/18th Polish, 1/8th Native American, 1/28th African, 1/23rd Norwegian, 1/23rd Swedish.
More commonly reffered to as being American...
:cry: sara_uk
This one is real cocktail, nice!!! bonitta

cmon being mixed is unique ! :D WaterWater
"Better than being"?
Um, bear, what's wrong with being a fruit salad in heritage? bear
Not mocking... just that no one is quite as mixed as me... i think bear
Whats not wrong with being a fruit salad? Legendkiller
Think that you need 2 learn more abt ur own history..ask around..preferably elderly people...

there r locals..true..but there is no such thing as real emirati..don't forget what Sheikh Zayed himself said...there r no 100% real emirati pple!...that is if u know what he said...

kidding..may-b :P ...trying..nah (trying is the first step to failure)...so let's take the last *smart* :brushteeth: kanelli I'm 50% Scottish-English-Irish, 50% Welsh-French and 100% Canadian. hack88
wow...now thts sumthing.. :D
wht all languages do u speak in?? d3vilish_ang3l_88
lol..well i speak..arabic, tagalog n english ....i never learned chinese :cry: kanelli Trilingual! Good for you Angel. It is great that you can speak those and stay in touch with the culture. :) timo Wow, so many nationalities. I have only bulgarian, tatar and a little bit of uzbek blood running through my veins. I speak russian, turkish, uzbek, english, a lil spanish. Rashed Legendkille Don't try to teach me my history. you are still kid for that. You should learn your's before. Don't say Sheikh Zayed said that, if it is true, so give me the prove when he said that? I mean a book or a video where he is saying that. as I told you dear, If you go to many years back, the arabs are from Yemen, so we could not say that there is no Saoudians, no bahrainians or like that. and we you will not be really from your country too. we can say and agree on there is other peoples who got UAE passports. and that will not say that all of UAE peoples are stranger. If you say that the bidouens of UAE who came to Abu Dhabi many years back from the desert are not from UAE, so let me say that you are poor in the knowledge and history. They came to Abu-Dhabi, and others went to Dubai, Sharjah and the rest emirates. so we could say the are From Abu-Dhabi really because they stayed in it and made of it a home and country. So once the 7 emirates united, they became from UAE, that mean they are the origin of UAE. so how could you say now they are not Emarati? Legendkiller lol so i guess u didn't do what i advised u last time....ask around..preferably elderly people!!!! Rashed I asked all elders I doesn't write thing that I'm not sure about it You should go back to school to learn more. you still baby to talk about history. Rashed legendkiller (I don't think this name suit you) If you think all Emaraties are not real emaraies, so who is real emaraty? Jamal there aint any .. thats what he's tryin to tell u homie. though alot will claim they are real emarties but none are.. answer me this question are'nt the true emarties suppose to be the leaders of the country? why isnt it soo? cause there aint none .. i mean aint no one trying to talk bad against the country or its ppl .. just tryin to make a point. sniper420
to baaaaaaaaaaad I wont get u this life....... :cry: sniper420
nooooooo she aint ....
EJ b happy who u r! Brown choclate is betta than white cream! :wink: Legendkiller
sorry 2 say...but these pple don't know their own history then...or don't wanna break ur heart...or they told u the truth..but u can't handle it!

well u do...

I'm teaching u ur own history...so what were u saying abt going back 2 school?

U still don't give up..huh?.....hmmm...pm me and learn :wink:

I don't call myself a LegendKiller because it looks good on my t-shirt or cause its a catchy phrase....or is a nice nick...noooooo..I call myself a LegendKiller cause its the truth and I deserve it! :lol: Legendkiller
exactly :wink: Bleakus
but the thing is there are real emiratis dude
dude, its the same as saying that the English (white) people are not really from UK, they are anglo sakens....
you guys know what i mean right? Bleakus dude, we know you guys are not saying anything bad about the country and all its the fact that now adays, the true emirati are the ones who lived here for a long time like in the 10s and 20s or maybe before. These are famous tribes who lived on this coast....these are real emiratis am i right or wrong? now desendents of these tribes are true emiratis....but the people who came into the country and got the passport are not the true emiratis but they are emiratis i think is what Rashed is trying to say guys DxXxb-Uae I'm a local from dubai, My family is actually from AD. So when it comes to arab emiraties in dubai and in Ad i know 'em all and their ancestral lineage (I wouldn't say true emaratis, i would say Arab emirati's.) probably the population of locals make up %20 or %15 from that percentage you'll have probably %10 to %5 who are non-mixed arabs. arab emirati's come from a previous existing tribes which we're in K.S.A.(mostly Adnani) and yemen(Qahtanite). Irani emirati's came in different times, some of them before the 1910's and some of them in 1950's and 1960's even. now about the Arab emirati's, you could know or distinguish them from their family names(laboogah), Tribe names(gbeeleh). you would find a mixture of Qahtanite and Adnani Arabs within the families in Uae( because both are arabs). From early in time till today there are families that are concerned about their race, in which not to marry a non-Arab. The arabs have always been concerned about their ancestral lineage and very aware of it. DxXxb-Uae yea he is .. there are some ppl in Uae who aren't arabs that would say such a thing. In schools people would make fun of non-arab emirati's which cause that hate. DxXxb-Uae your right, except for the time the tribes you talk about are here from the 1700's probably , but sure way before 1900's. If your from these peoploe you would know
your history so i knw mine !!!! lol
