Arabic Language

• Arabic is the largest living member of the
  Semitic language family in terms of speakers.
  Classified as Central Semitic, it is closely
  related to Hebrew and Aramaic, and has its roots
  in a Proto-Semitic common ancestor. Modern Arabic
  is classified as a macrolanguage with 27
  sub-languages in ISO 639-3. These varieties are
  spoken throughout the Arab world, and Standard
  Arabic is widely studied and known throughout the
  Islamic world.

• The Arabic language rose to prominence with the
  rise of Islam in the 7th century AD as the
  language of the Qur'an, and the Arabic language
  and culture became more widespread with the early
  Islamic expansion.
• Arabic is the first language of Arabs, and by
  extension cultural expression, including any of
  its varieties. This definition covers more than
  250 million people.

• The English language belongs to the western
  sub-branch of the Germanic branch of the
  Indo-European family of languages.

• However, when combining native and non-native
  speakers it is probably the most commonly spoken
  language in the world, though possibly second to
  a combination of the Chinese Languages, depending
  on whether or not distinctions in the latter are
  classified as "languages" or "dialects."

• Estimates that include second language speakers
  vary greatly from 470 million to over a billion
  depending on how literacy or mastery is defined.
• There are some who claim that non-native speakers
  now outnumber native speakers by a ratio of 3 to
  1.

• Because English is so widely spoken, it has often
  been referred to as a "global language", the
  lingua franca of the modern era. While English is
  not an official language in most countries, it is
  currently the language most often taught as a
  second language around the world. Some linguists
  believe that it is no longer the exclusive
  cultural sign of "native English speakers", but
  is rather a language that is absorbing aspects of
  cultures worldwide as it continues to grow.

• It is, by international treaty, the official
  language for aerial and maritime communications,
  as well as one of the official languages of the
  European Union, the United Nations, and most
  international athletic organisations, including
  the International Olympic Committee.
