Arabic Language

Picture
Arabic is the spoken and written language of all Arabs; it is the binding force among them and constitutes a key portion of their basic heritage.  A Semitic language written from right to left, with a twenty-eight letter alphabet, Arabic is a rich, eloquent, flexible, and rhythmic language.

The Arabs love their language and delight in its many, varied uses, such as in the fields of music, literature, and the fine art of Arabic calligraphy.  Though there exist certain specializations in the spoken dialects of different regions, the written (classical) language is uniform, and, thus, textbooks, newspapers, magazines, films, and television and radio programs produced throughout the region are comprehensible to all.

As an art, one appreciates its beauty; as a language, one appreciates its extreme durability; as a cohesive force for unification and mutual understanding, one appreciates its great heritage and the proud nation born of it.
