Arabic language

   Students who are new to the Arabic language are encouraged to do some 
research of their own in order to establish a historical/linguistic 
background for their studies.  Nevertheless, we will provide an 
introduction.

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), or �fusha�, to give a loose phonetic 
rendering of the Arabic word, is the language of the media, literature 
and some �educated� conversation.  Most, if not all, Arab children learn
 MSA in school.  It is derived from the Classical Arabic that has its 
most standard example in the Qur�an.  In order to follow political 
developments in the Arabic-speaking world it is necessary to have a 
command of MSA.  It is arguably one of the most difficult languages in 
the world, considering its complex grammatical structures and rules, 
though it is also one of the most logical and beautiful.  The expressive
 capacity of the Arabic language allows its authors to wax lyrically.  
Spoken MSA is the official language of Arabic newspapers as well as news
 stations, the most popular being Al-Jazeera.

MSA is not, however, a spoken language outside of the realms discussed 
above.  Different variants of Arabic dialects are used in each region, 
or country, of the Arabic-speaking world.  These varieties, albeit 
derivatives of MSA, can be so dissimilar as to be nearly 
incomprehensible from the speaker of one dialect to that of another.  At
 Arabeya, we teach the Egyptian Colloquial Arabic (ECA), or Egyptian 
�Eameyya� (again, loose).  As a result of the popularity of Egyptian 
cinema and entertainment industry, past as well as present, ECA is the 
most widely understood dialect in the Arabic-speaking world.

 Its 
grammatical constructs are much less strict than MSA and overall it is 
much easier to learn.  ECA is also, as mentioned, nearly a completely 
different language from MSA.  Often words and expressions used in ECA 
are not the same as those used in MSA.
