Arabic languages

Modern Standard Arabic, Standard Arabic or MSA refers to the variety of Arabic used in most written media and news reporting in the Arabic-speaking world. It is a modernized form of Classical Arabic, the language of the Qur'an, with which it shares most of its vocabulary, syntax and morphology, though there are noticeable differences.
Arabic is the official language of Algeria, Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian National Authority, Bahrain, Comoro, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Eritrea, Jordan, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen.

The Arabic alphabet is used by modern standard Arabic and, with a few changes, by Farsi (Iran), Urdu (Pakistan), Dari and Pashto (Afghanistan). Unicode enables texts to be written in all the above mentioned languages (Arabic script).
