Modern Standard Arabic
Arabic, Russian, French, Spanish, Chinese, and English have recently become global languages. With 275 million speakers worldwide, Modern Standard Arabic is the sixth most widely spoken language.
First developed in the 19th and 20th centuries as a way for Arabic publications to reach a wider audience without navigating the complexities of various dialects, MSA has quickly become the contemporary standard for literary, legal, academic, and international purposes. It’s also recognized as an official language in 25 countries, including every member of the Arab League.
While the people within every one of these member states speak their unique, colloquial dialect, Modern Standard Arabic is the multinational unifier between these Arabic speakers of different colloquialisms who would otherwise find themselves unable to communicate. MSA is, therefore, one of the surest ways to communicate with Arabic speakers across the Middle East and North Africa, as well as the wider Arab diaspora.
Why Study Modern Standard Arabic?
Modern Standard Arabic is ideal for those who wish to establish a strong foothold in the Arabic language as a whole and plan to expand into colloquial variants in the future. The language itself is widespread, as it’s the primary form of Arabic taught in schools across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Therefore, Arabic speakers across the region can use it as a resource to communicate with those of different Arabic colloquialisms. Furthermore, MSA students can likewise use it to communicate while traveling throughout the MENA region.
Therefore, MSA’s wide geographical range makes it an excellent choice for those wishing to venture into the Arabic language. MSA is also incredibly important in areas related to literature, news media, academia, diplomacy, law, international business,s and more. Subsequently, studying MSA gives you improved access to the literary world of Arabic and opens doors for professional advancement.
Levantine Arabic
Levantine Arabic (also commonly referred to as Shami since the Arabic word for the Levant is Sham) is one of the two dominant dialects of Arabic in the world, the other being Egyptian. With an estimated total of roughly 38 million native speakers throughout the Levant and the Arab diaspora, Levantine Arabic is one of the most widely spoken dialects and, therefore, commonly taught to non-native speakers. Due to its cultural reach, it is also generally understood in other Arabic-speaking countries.
In addition to the Palestinian dialect spoken, Levantine Arabic is also the closest dialect to MSA. Approximately 50% of its vocabulary corresponds directly to Standard Arabic, making it one of the most recognizable dialects in the Arab-speaking world.
What are Levantine Sub-Dialects?
The subdialects of Levantine Arabic are predominantly divided into two main subgroups: Northern and Southern Levantine. Also known as Syro-Lebanese Arabic, North Levantine Arabic is spoken in the northern countries of the Levant, such as Lebanon, the regions of Syria bordering Aleppo, Damascus, and the Mediterranean, and territories such as Turkey’s coastal regions of Adana, Hatay, and Mersin.
On the other hand, Southern Levantine Arabic is the other sub-dialect, spoken in Palestine, across most of Jordan, and in Syria’s southern region, particularly the Hauran.
Why Learn Levantine Arabic?
The reasons for learning spoken Levantine Arabic are multifaceted and wide-ranging. As one of two dominant spoken dialects, you will have numerous opportunities to engage with the people, politics, histories, and cultures of the 38 million who understand this language.
Additionally, whether it be because of travel, recreation, business, personal interest, family lineage or simply intrigue, if you study Levantine Arabic, you will be connected to one of the most diverse and influential regions of the world and have the opportunity to interact with new individuals and whole communities across Arabic-speaking countries and the Arab diaspora.
Palestinian Arabic
Palestinian Arabic is a colloquial Arabic dialect native to Palestine and the wider Palestinian diaspora. With approximately 13 million native Palestinian speakers worldwide, it is one of the most spoken and well-recognizable dialects of Arabic.
Palestinian Arabic is spoken and/or understood throughout the Levant as another subdialect of Levantine Arabic. With 44.5 million people and a rich diversity of cultures and ethnicities, the Levant includes countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine, as well as Cyprus, Turkey, and Egypt, using broader definitions. However, Palestinian Arabic can vary even further despite already being a sub-dialect, as villages and rural Fellahi, Bedouin, and urban Madani tribes have their own language dialects.
Yet despite these many variants and subdialects within Levantine Arabic, spoken Palestinian Arabic still remains recognizable throughout Arabic-speaking countries, not to mention the Arab diaspora.
Why Learn Palestinian Arabic?
Palestine’s culture is among the richest and most diverse in the world due to its long history, geographical position, and religious significance. Having played host to at least five major empires, Palestine also lies at a crossroads between Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Mediterranean. Therefore, due to its significance in one of the most influential regions in the world, Palestinian Arabic is widely understood and spoken.
Additionally, Palestinian Arabic closely resembles modern standard Arabic, making this dialect ideal for those wishing to expand their literary scope to include Arabic texts or use it in professional environments. However, regardless of your reason, learning Palestinian Arabic is one of the best ways of gaining a foothold in the Arabic-speaking world.
