	Modern Standard Arabic at AllExperts
		Modern Standard Arabic, or MSA is the variety of Arabic used in most written media, news reporting, and some television talk shows in the Arabic-speaking world, primarily learnt at school rather than through spoken interaction in the home.
		It is the continuation of Classical Arabic, the language of the Qur'an, with which it shares most of its vocabulary, syntax and morphology.
		It is to be distinguished from the varieties of Arabic usually learnt through interaction with family, which are radically different in grammar and vocabulary.

	Arabic language at AllExperts
		Arabic has been a literary language since at least the 6th century and is the liturgical language of Islam.
		Arabic is a major source of vocabulary for languages as diverse as Berber, Kurdish, Farsi, Swahili, Urdu, Hindi, Turkish, Malay, and Indonesian, as well as other languages in countries where these languages are spoken.
		The Qur'an is expressed in Arabic and traditionally Muslims deem it impossible to translate in a way that would adequately reflect its exact meaning—indeed, until recently, some schools of thought maintained that it should not be translated at all.

	Begin in English to End in Arabic (Part1)
		As for the second problem concerning the inability of the Latin letter, as it is, to write Arabic in, lies in the fact that the Arabic letter is always vocalized whereas the Latin letter, at least in English, is not.
		To move from one letter to its next in Arabic a small point might be put over the same previous letter whereas the system of arranging the alphabet order of letters depends on the juxtaposition of the succeeding letters in their points of articulation in the organs of speech.
		Arabic language is uniquely characterized by its precise dependence on its letter vocalization system and this is never found in English.

		Though there is considerable diversity of dialects in spoken Arabic, the written language is fairly standard with the differences falling into historical periods rather than geographical areas.
		Spoken Egyptian Arabic is designed to bridge the gap that exists between the highly technical Arabic grammars, meant for the specialized student of Arabic, and the simple phrase-books of basic sentences that are unsatisfactory for the purpose of real communication.
		The grammar moves through all the major elements of the language including phonology, parts of speech, grammar points, sentence construction, etc. The text is based on the dialect of Damascus which is also spoken and understood with slight variations in Lebanon, Jordan, and by the Arab population of Israel.

		Arguments about the ideal spelling of Arabic names go back at least to 1926, when TE Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia") sent his 130,000-word manuscript of Revolt in the Desert to be typeset.

	Adults Learning Arabic
		Spouses and children of Arabic speakers: Many Arabs are very proud of their heritage and will want to influence their non-Arab family members to learn their spoken tongue and classical Arabic.

		While spoken or colloquial Arabic changes from county to country, classical Arabic is not used in the street, but is the same throughout literature and is understood by more educated people.
