	Arabic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arabic (العربية al-'arabiyyah, or less formally 'arabi) is the largest member of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family (classification: South Central Semitic) and is closely related to Hebrew and Aramaic.
		Arabic has been a literary language since at least the 6th century and is the liturgical language of Islam.
		Since the written Arabic of today differs substantially from the written Arabic of the Qur'anic era, it has become customary in western scholarship and among non-Arab scholars of Arabic to refer to the language of the Qur'an as Classical Arabic and the modern language of the media and of formal speeches as Modern Standard Arabic.

	World view - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A map of the world on the basis of Weltanschauung crosses political borders because Weltanschauung is the product of both political borders and common experiences of a people from a geographical region, environmental-climatic conditions, the economic resources available, socio-cultural systems and the linguistic family.
		A world view describes a consistent (to a varying degree) and integral sense of existence and provides a framework for generating, sustaining and applying knowledge.
		As natural language becomes manifestations of world perception, the literature of a people with common weltanschauung emerges as holistic representations of the wide world perception of the people.

	Arab world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arabic language forms a unifying feature of the Arab world: though different areas use local dialects of Arabic, all share in the use of the standard classical language.
		The political borders of the Arab world have wandered with history, leaving Arab minorities in non-Arab countries of the Sahel and the Horn of Africa as well as in the Middle Eastern countries of Turkey and Iran, and also leaving non-Arab minorities in Arab countries.
		Nouakchott is the westernmost capital of the Arab world and the third-westernmost in Africa, and sits on the Atlantic fringe of the southwestern Sahara.

	Arabic
		Arabic is used as the principle language in most countries covered by the Encyclopaedia of the Orient, Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel (as one of the official languages), Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Sudan, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
		Arabic has also got a dimension of being a sacred language, as it is the only language from which the Koran is believed to be fully understood — all translations will reduce the quality of the revelations of God.
		Arabic writing is an alphabet script, based upon distinct characters, adjoined to other characters, which in most cases change their looks depending on where they stand in the word.

	Arabic numerals
		By the western part of the Arabic world we mean the regions comprising mainly North Africa and Spain.
		The difficulty which arises is that al-Baghdadi refers to the Arabic original which, contrary to what was originally thought, seems not to be a work on Indian numerals but rather a work on finger counting methods.
		In fact in the western part of the Arabic world the Indian numerals came to be known as Guba (or Gubar or Ghubar) numerals from the Arabic word meaning "dust".

	Arabic Classical Music
		Arabic music is among the most difficult topics to discuss here, primarily due to the large number of countries and musical styles which the term nominally covers.
		The modal system is sometimes based on theoretical octave scales of 17, 19 or 24 notes, although the temperament is not generally equal, and the practice is essentially diatonic (the infra-chromaticism expressed in "neutral thirds").
		Classical Arabic theory and practice can be seen as a great synthesis of both the earlier classical traditions as well as regional melodic forms.

	Arabic alphabet, pronunciation and language
		The Aramaic language has fewer consonants than Arabic, so during the 7th century new Arabic letters were created by adding dots to existing letters in order to avoid ambiguities.
		Arabic has also been written with the Hebrew, Syriac and Latin scripts.
		Arabic is a Semitic language with about 221 million speakers in Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Cyprus, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebannon, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Oman, Palestinian West Bank and Gaza, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Turkey, UAE, Uzbekistan and Yemen.

		Despite the perception that the Arab world is awash in petrodollars, at the end of the 20th century the gross domestic product per capita of all Arab countries combined was slightly more than that of Spain, which has only 15 percent of the population of the Arab world.
		Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer, has one of the highest birthrates in the world and a middle class that is becoming increasingly impoverished.
		As in many developing countries, the pedagogy of science teaching in most of the Arab world is outdated and archaic, and the morale of the teaching staff is low.

	Fairuz the magic, who the moon has bowed for her...
		At a time when Arabic singing was weighted down with convention and predictability, and spirits were nationally at their lowest, her voice rang, as though from beyond the notes of salvation and joy.
		Arabic music has never been the same since.
		Nostalgic but vibrant, sad but defiant, folkloric and yet so new, hers has been for nearly 30 years perhaps the only voice that seems so capable of jubilation in an almost cosmic sense.
