Encyclopedia > Sibawayh

Sibawayh (سيبويه Sîbawayh in Arabic, سیبویه Sibuyeh in Persian) was a linguist of Persian origin born ca. 760 AD in the town of Bayza (ancient Nesayak) in the Fars province of Iran. He was one of the earliest and greatest grammarians of Arabic, and his phonetic description of Arabic is one of the most precise ever made, leading some to compare him with Panini. The name Sibawayh is derived from the Persian words سیب-بو-یه Sib-bu-yeh meaning "the one with an apple's scent". Sibawayh died in Shiraz (also in the Fars province of Iran) around 793 AD.

Because the Arab elite of Sibawayh's time did not encourage non-Arabs to learn their language, so that only Arabs could take high positions in the government, Sibawayh was the first non-Arab to write on Arabic grammar and therefore the first one to explain Arabic grammar from a non-Arab perspective.
Sibawayh died in Shiraz (also in the Fars province of Iran) around 793 AD.
