The Qur’an is one, word by word, but what most people do not know is that there are variations in what the Arabic literature call Shakl and Nudqah (meaning the vowel and pronunciation). There are seven Qira (narration) that are widely used. The most widely Qira is the Hafsah narration popular in Saudi Arabia. The fact that Saudi Arabia is the leading publisher of the Holly Qur’an make this narration to the defacto Qira of the Muslim world. The second popular one is Amra narration which the way we were taught the Quran in East Africa as children. Amra is popular in the traditional Quranic schools in Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Sudan and Eritrea. Other narrations are Nafi3, Qaloon and others.
It must be known that all of the narrations must (1) conform word by word known as rasm, (2) must convey the same contextual meaning adhering to the syntax (nahwa) of the Arabic text. For example, As childred we would read 109:1 as "Qul Ya Ayuhal [Keefiroon]" while Hafsa (The narration in most (or I could say all) Quran copies) would read "…Kaafiroon". In 36:9 We used to read "Wa Ja’alna min Bayn Aydeehim [Suda]…" They would read "…Sada..". In 89:17, we would read "Kala Bal La [Yukrimunal] Yateema". They read "…Tukrimunal…" The next verse: We would read "Wala Yahuduna.." whereas they read "Wala Tahaduna…" The Amra follows the dialect of Kufa (In Iraq) and many scholars are saying it is how the Quran was read by Gibreal to Mohammed. The Hafsa follows the Mecca dialect. Other scholars say the same.
The copy of the Qur’an will tell you which Qira it follows but since all copies are almost in Hafsa, you will not come accross one that says otherwise.

No you’re wrong, the post you have seen are incorrect, it’s only one qura’an and it can be in different language.

What? There is only one Quran. you’re either talking about translation (difference in language) or interpretation, differences among sects, which really doesn’t have much to do with location.

When I first started learning about Islam, I read something that said there were once several variations of Qur’an (more than a dozen, I think), but effort was made to round them up and codify them into one. Some of the leaders from different places did not like the new version that attempted to reconcile differences between the versions but had to make choices in some places, and rejected it, so then a decision was made to limit the "official" variants to seven.
How long ago was that in Islam history? Several centuries, and I am sorry I lost the citation as well, it was in some book I was reading about Islam.

Assalamualaikum
There might be various different translations of the Glorious Quran but in the Original Arabic in which it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), there has always only been one Quran. There may be different translations yes but it’s all still based on the Original Arabic.
The following shows that the Quran has had a perfect Compilation without any discrepancy.

Salam.It should be no difference at all if it is written in arabic letters because Allah guaranteed the genuity of the Qur’an. If you see a difference it should be corrected.

There is only ONE Qur’an and it comes in Arabic.
The rest is just a human translation to help humans understand better, yet still not considered the Qur’an.
There is some with different reading as in accent and stuff but the meanings remain the same.
