Arabic is the largest member of the Semitic language family. It is spoken by more than 280 million people as a first language, mostly living in the Middle East and North Africa, and by approximately 250 million as a second language.

It’s the official language of 25 countries, the third most after English and French.
Arabic has many different, geographically-distributed spoken varieties. Standard Arabic is widely taught in schools, universities, and used in workplaces, government and the media.

Arabic has lent many words to other languages of the Islamic world. Arabic influence is seen in Mediterranean languages, particularly Spanish, Portuguese, and Sicilian. It has also borrowed words from many languages, including Hebrew, Persian, Syriac and contemporary European.

There are many variants for Arabic in both writing and speaking forms. However, today the major Arabic countries are promoting the "Standard Arabic", which are widely accepted among Arabic people.
