Modern Standard Arabic, also known as al-Fus ha, is taught all over the world today, which is the modern and simplified revival of classical Qur’anic Arabic. It is the language of the written word, literature, politics and the media (eg al-Jazeera), while also strengthening the linguistic/cultural unity of the Arab World. It is also the language we teach in our program. At the same time, of course, there are dozens of spoken dialects, which are at a greater or lesser distance from the taught common Arabic.
The Arabic alphabet has 28 characters and is admittedly something quite different from what we are used to.
