Arabic is often classified as one language for both political and cultural reasons even though many of the dialects are mutually unintelligible. If considered a single language then there are roughly 422 million Arabic speakers worldwide.

​

Arabic is one of the six official languages of the United Nations and an official language of 26 countries.

​

The Arabic script is written from right to left. The script however brings with it some technical difficulties while using electronics which has led to "Arabish," a latin alphabet Arabic that is used to write in Arabic over text message.

​

Arabic also functions as the liturgical language of Islam, but is spoken by people throughout the Middle East regardless of religion.
