Spoken Arabic
Classical Arabic, the language of the Holy Quran, has set the standard for the Arabic language throughout the Arab and Islamic world for 1300 years.
The grammar of ‘modern standard Arabic’, the official language of government and education in the 22 Arab countries, is close to classical Arabic. Modern standard Arabic is used in most printed material and formal speech.
Over this 1300-year period, different parts of this vast cultural region have had differing patterns of history and cultural contact, leading to much fragmentation of the spoken colloquial forms of the language.
The main regional groupings of varieties of Arabic are:
- North Africa ( Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya)
- Egypt
- Arabian peninsula
- Eastern (Syrian, Lebanon, Palestine)
- Iraq
Colloquial forms of the language are used in speaking, including entertainment media, such as TV programmes, films and plays and popular songs.
Output from Egypt has dominated the media, such that the Egyptian form of spoken Arabic is understood by most of the Arabic-speaking world.
Written Arabic
Arabic script runs from right to left, but numbers will still look as though they run from left to right, to western eyes. In Arabic the smaller units of numbers are read first.
The set of numbers used in Europe are known as ‘Arabic numerals’. In most of the Arabic-speaking world, a set of numbers more closely resembling those in use in India, is used.
Arabic script is also used in modern Persian, Kurdish and Urdu. The script is also used for Punjabi in Pakistan, and among communities originating there.
Microsoft recognises 16 different versions of “Arabic” for spelling and grammar.
