Saudi Arabian Arabic Language Facts
"Colloquial Arabic" is a term used to refer to the spoken languages or dialects of people throughout the Arab world, which is different from the literary language. The main dialectal division is between that in the Maghreb region (in the north of Africa) and those of the Middle East, but another one exists between sedentary dialects and the Bedouin dialects. Speakers of Middle Eastern dialects are unable to communicate effectively with Maghrebis, but Maghrebis do not have such trouble understanding the Middle Easteners, mainly because of the popularity of media and films originated in the Middle East, especially Egypt.
Writing Saudi Arabian Arabic
There are two main types of written Arabic:
Classical Arabic - the language of the Qur'an and classical literature, it was originally the dialect of the Mecca in what is currently Saudi Arabia. It differs from Modern Standard Arabic mainly in vocabulary and style, in that it is more archaic.
Modern Standard Arabic - the universal language of the Arabic-speaking world which is understood by all Arabic speakers (it is used between educated Arabs of different nationalities when conversing with each other). It is also the language of the vast majority of written material such as books and newspapers and of formal TV shows, lectures, etc.
Words are written in horizontal lines from right to left, numerals are written from left to right.
Most letters change form depending on whether they appear at the beginning, middle or end of a word, or on their own.
