History of Arabic

Arabic originated in the Arabian Peninsula and spread with Islam from the 7th century. Classical Arabic, the language of the Quran, became the foundation for Modern Standard Arabic. Arabic contributed thousands of words to Spanish, Portuguese, and English (algebra, algorithm, coffee, sugar).

Is Arabic Hard to Learn?

Very Hard

Arabic requires learning a new script that reads right-to-left, with letters changing shape based on position. The root-based word system is logical but unfamiliar. Spoken dialects vary significantly from Modern Standard Arabic.
