The codified supra-regional standard used across the Arab world in education, media, literature, and formal speech. Derived from Classical Arabic, it has no native speakers and no single regional home — it is acquired as a formal register layered above the spoken vernaculars. Cairo, as the historical center of Arabic publishing, broadcasting, and scholarship, serves as its conventional locus.
Marockos maghrebisk arabiska, med tungt berberiskt substrat och betydande franska och spanska lånord. Distinkt nog från mashreqi-arabiska för att fungera som ett separat vardagligt språk.
