	Arabic Language Facts
		The expressions Arabic and Classical Arabic usually refer to the pure Arabic language which is, according to Arabic speakers, both the language of present-day media across North Africa and the Middle East (from Morocco to Iraq) and the language of the Qur'an.
		While Arabic is strongly associated with Islam (and is the language of salat), it is also spoken by Arab Christians, Oriental Jews, and indeed Iraqi Mandaeans; and, of course, the vast majority of the world's Muslims do not actually speak it; they only know some fixed phrases of Arabic, as used in Islamic prayer.
		Arabic is a Semitic language, fairly closely related to, for instance, the Hebrew language and the Aramaic language.

	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.
		Some additional letters are used in Arabic when writing placenames or foreign words containing sounds which do not occur in Standard Arabic, such as /p/ or /g/.

		Dialect dictionaries are, like this one, normally written in romanized form, as the Arabic script is of little use for pronunciation, especially where vowel qualities and stress are concerned.
		As you can see, some words are the same and could easily be written in Arabic script (/kitaab/), some have letters peculiar to Iraqi (<ch> and <g>), some words are different from written Arabic words (/wiiya/) and some words simply don't have written Arabic forms (/aakuu/).
		When using this dictionary to assist me in translating some Iraqi Arabic to English I found it harder to use because it is romanized, than if they had used the Arabic script.
