Arabic in terms of the number of speakers is the largest member of the
Semitic language family and Arabic is one of the oldest languages in the world. The modern Arabic is classified as a macro language with 27 sub-languages. These varieties are spoken in a large part of the Middle East and in some parts of North African countries. The
Standard Arabic language is widely studied and used in office and in the Arab media, but it is not spoken at home. Today it is spoken by nearly 256 million people in about 30 different countries in the world.
The
Standard Arabic language is derived from Classical Arabic, the only surviving member of the Old North Arabian dialect group, attested in Pre-Islamic Arabic inscriptions dating back to the fourth century. The Classical Arabic language has also been a literary language and the liturgical language of Islam since its inception in the seventh century. Arabic has lent many words to other languages of the Islamic world. During the Middle Ages, Arabic was a major vehicle of culture in Europe, especially in the field of science, philosophy, mathematics and astrology. As a result, many European languages have also borrowed numerous words from Arabic language. Arabic influence is seen in Mediterranean languages too, particularly in Spanish, Portuguese, and Sicilian, due to both the proximity of European and Arab civilization and seven hundred years of Arab rule in the Iberian peninsula.
Arabic has also heavily borrowed words from many languages, including Persian, Greek and Sanskrit in early centuries, and contemporary European languages in modern times. Arabic is the official language of Bahrain, Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti, Chad, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Eritrea, Kuwait, Libya, Mauritania, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Oman, Qatar and other countries. Arabic is one of the six official languages of the UN and one of the official working languages of many other international and regional organizations. According recent to search, the United States alone there are over 590,000 Arabic speaking people and 16,5 million of Internet users speak Arabic all over the world.
