Intercultural and Intracultural Variables:
Intracultural communication occurs in interactions between members of a relatively definable
speech community following conventions of language and conventions of usage with individual
choices. Intercultural communication refers to interactions between speakers who have different
first languages, communicate in a common language, and, usually, represent different cultures.

Intercultural Variables:

The only language that the Prophet (PBUH) knew and spoke was Arabic. There is no resource
mentioning that the Prophet spoke any other languages. It is stated in some resources that he
uttered a few words in Persian but it does not mean that he spoke Persian. 

After the Prophet (PBUH) came to Madinah, delegations and letters started to come from various
nations, especially the Jews living around Madinah. The Prophet advised Zayd bin Thabit, one of
the revelation scribes, to learn Hebrew and Syriac in order to understand what the delegations
said and to respond to the letters. It is mentioned in Musnad, Zayd bin Thabit expresses it as
follows:

"When the Messenger of Allah arrived in Madinah, I was a child. They took me to the
Messenger of Allah. He liked me very much. They said to the Messenger of Allah:

“O Messenger of Allah! This child is from Sons of Najjar. He memorized more than ten
chapters.”

The Messenger of Allah liked it very much. Once, he said to me,

"O Zayd! Learn the writing of Jews. By Allah, I cannot trust in what Jews write to me."

"I learned to read and write Hebrew in fifteen nights. After that, I started to read the letters Jews
sent to the Messenger of Allah and to write them answers in Hebrew." (Musnad, V/136).

Intracultural Variables:
Intracultural communication occurs in interactions between members of a relatively definable
speech community following rules of language and rules of usage with individual choices.

Once a Bedouin came to Holy Prophet (PBUH) and he used very harsh nonverbal language.
Actually, he did not misbehave but his ascent is like that. He belonged to Makkah. Therefore,
this is a intracultural variable among two people belong to a same culture.
