The Arabic Language
Arabic is the 6th most commonly spoken language in the world, is Central Semitic and is closely associated with Ugaritic, Hebrew, Phoenician and Armaic. Many Middle Eastern countries use Arabic as their official language. These are countries like Iraq, Libya, Egypt and Morocco. The Arabic language is also listed as one of United Nations six official languages.
The Classic Arabic language originated in 6th century AD. During this period, only a few were able to speak the language and most of the time they were nomads. Various forms of literary pieces such as prose and poems were written in Arabic.
Three Forms of Arabic Language
The Arabic Language comes in three forms:
- Modern Standard Arabic. This is the literary form and official language. This is used in written documents and formal speeches, and is taught in schools and universities.
- Colloquial Arabic. This is the many regional variations of Arabic that is spoken everyday. They are usually unwritten, and in many cases are not alike each other. Some linguists even consider the different variations as different languages despite being a part of one major language.
- Qur’anical Arabic. Also called the Classical Arabic and is more normative in syntax and grammar. This for is mostly used in religious writing.
