Facts to consider about the Arabic language
Where is Arabic spoken?
The Arabic language is spoken by around 200 million people throughout the Muslim world.
It’s spoken as a majority language in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Gaza, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, the West Bank, and Yemen, and as a minority language in many other countries.
There are two different forms of Arabic
These are:
- Classical Arabic, sometimes called Quranic Arabic or Mudari Arabic – is used in literary texts, most commonly from the Umayyad and Abbasid periods between the 7th and 9th centuries, including most notably the Qur’an.
- Modern Standard Arabic – is the direct descendant of Classical Arabic, and much more widely used.
Classical Arabic is used in some media across North Africa and the Middle East. Modern Standard Arabic on the other hand, is the most commonly required dialect for English to Arabic translation services in Singapore and across the world – it’s used in newspapers and books, on television and radio. Modern Standard Arabic is the accepted language in mosques, and in conversation between educated Arabs from different countries.
There are many dialects
On top of these two forms, there are many regional dialects. The most common of these is Egyptian Arabic.
The majority of the almost countless national and regional dialects of the language are derived from Classical Arabic. Local dialects can vary dramatically, so when you need a professional Arabic translator it’s important to use a linguist with a first-hand understanding of your target market.
Arabic is the second most-used writing system in the world
On top of which, it’s one of the six official languages of the United Nations, and is the third most-widely spoken, in terms of countries which have it as an official language (the only ones more widely spoken are English, an official language in 54 countries, and French, in 29 countries).
Taken as a whole, including the speakers of its various dialects and forms, Arabic is spoken by more than 422 million people worldwide.
