Some interesting facts about the Arabic Language

Arabic is from the Semitic family of languages, which also includes Hebrew, Syriac, Aramaic, Amharic and Tigrinya. Arabic and Hebrew are the only Semitic languages that are still used today both in their writing and speaking forms.

Arabic is widely spoken from North Africa to the Arabian Peninsula. It is the official language of twenty countries with a total of about 300 million people. Its top ten status as a world-wide language was recognised in 1973 when the United Nations made Arabic the sixth official language of the UN.

The modern written language (Modern Standard Arabic) is derived from the language of the Quran (known as Classical Arabic or Quranic Arabic). It is widely taught in schools, universities, and used to varying degrees in workplaces, governments and the media. The two formal varieties are grouped together as Literary Arabic, which is the official language of 26 states and the liturgical language of Islam.

Modern Standard Arabic largely follows the grammatical standards of Quranic Arabic and uses much of the same vocabulary. However, some new vocabulary is used to cover concepts that have arisen in the post-Quranic era.

The major Arabic dialect groups are:

Egyptian Arabic, spoken by around 80 million in Egypt.
Maghrebi Arabic includes Moroccan Arabic, Algerian Arabic, Saharan Arabic, Tunisian Arabic, and Libyan Arabic, and is spoken by around 75 million North Africa.
Mesopotamian Arabic, spoken by about 29 million people in Iraq, eastern Syria and southwestern Iran (Khuzestan).
North Mesopotamian Arabic, spoken by around 7 million people in northern Iraq, northwestern Iran, northern Syria and southern Turkey.
Levantine Arabic, is spoken by almost 35 million people in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Cyprus, and Turkey.
Gulf Arabic, spoken by around 3.6 million people, predominantly in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain.
