Arabic Phrases

Arabic language is spoken by over 200 million people in almost 22 countries. Arabic speakers are mainly concentrated in the Middle East in an area expanding from the Arabian Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean. Arabic is the Language of Quran, the Holy Book of Islam, so it is the language number one in almost all Islamic countries.

The Arabic language is divided into two types, the first one is the “Fus ha” (Classical Arabic) which is the formal Arabic language usually used in formal writings and also in formal oral context like TV and Radio news. The other type is “Al ‘Amiya” (colloquial) which is the non-formal spoken language. You could find it spoke on the streets, in the markets, and in the houses. The colloquial language is spoken in many different ways depending on the country and even on the town. For instance, if you went to Luxor or Aswan, you will find that people there speak Egyptian Arabic in a slightly different way where the dialect plays a very important role.
