Arabic is a primary language in 26 countries across the Middle East and North Africa[1], spanning from Mauritania in the west to Oman in the east. Arabic was adopted as the sixth official language of the United Nations on December 18, 1973[2], making it one of the most significant languages in international diplomacy and global communication. The United Nations has celebrated World Arabic Language Day every year on December 18 since 2012[2].
Arabic is the fifth-most spoken language in the world, used by an estimated 422 million native and non-native speakers globally[1]. Beyond Modern Standard Arabic, there are 30 currently recognized dialects of Arabic used as primary languages across its geographic range[1], reflecting the language's rich history spanning multiple cultures and regions.
Arabic is written in the Arabic script, which flows from Right to Left[3]. The script is an abjad system, where letters primarily represent consonants[4]. The Arabic alphabet contains 28 letters, all representing consonants[4], though some variations count 29 when including the hamza (ء)[4]. Short vowels are typically indicated through diacritical marks called harakat[3], while long vowels are represented by specific letters.
