Today, Arabic is spoken throughout the Middle East, from Morocco to Iraq. The language of the Koran and Islam, Arabic is also studied by more than one billion people for religious reasons. This practical guide offers help on basic Arabic words and phrases and eases communication with Arabic speakers.
Written as a companion to Arabic For Dummies, Arabic Phrases For Dummies provides readers with the tools to converse with others in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) on a basic level. The most widely used and understood form of Arabic in the world, MSA is used in schools, news broadcasts, and other formal settings.
