=__**Arab Culture**__=

**Arab culture** is an inclusive term that draws together the common themes and overtones found in the [|Arab World], especially those of the [|Middle-Eastern] countries. This region's distinct [|Language], [|art], and [|food] are some of the fundamental features that define Arab culture.** Language ** Main article: [|Arabic language]

The **Arabic language** ([|Arabic]: اللغة العربية‎ al-lughah al-‘Arabīyyah ), or simply **Arabic** ([|Arabic]: عربي‎ ‘Arabī ), is the largest member of the [|Semitic] branch of the [|Afro-Asiatic] [|language family] (classification: South Central Semitic) and is closely related to [|Hebrew] and [|Aramaic]. It is spoken throughout the [|Arab world] and is widely studied and known throughout the [|Islamic world]. Arabic has been a [|literary language] since at least the 6th century and is the [|liturgical language] of [|Islam], in addition to widespread use as a [|vernacular] language. The Arabic language has various dialects from the numerous countries and traditions. Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), the language of the media and of educated Arabs, is different from the everyday spoken Arabic dialects in different Arab countries. Spoken Arabic also differs greatly in speech from written Arabic, which is much more colloquial and formal. Many [|English] words are ultimately derived from Arabic, often through other [|European] languages, especially [|Spanish]. Among these are such everyday words as "[|sugar]" (//sukkar//), "[|cotton]" (// quṭn //) and "[|magazine]" (// [|maḫāzin] //). More recognizable are words like "[|algebra]", "[|alcohol]" and "[|zenith]" (see [|list of English words of Arabic origin]). Among the Spanish words of Arabic origin are "" (//zayt//), "aceituna" (//zaytun//), and "azúcar" (//sukkar//). An Arabic phrase still used in modern Spanish is "Ojalá," which means "God willing" or "I hope so." (See [|Arabic influence on the Spanish language].)

** Arabic and Islam **

It is sometimes difficult to translate [|Islamic] concepts, and concepts specific to Arab culture, without using the original Arabic terminology. The [|Qur'an] is written in Arabic, and [|Muslims] traditionally deem it impossible to translate in a way that adequately expresses its exact meaning; indeed, until recently, some schools of thought maintained that it should not be translated at all.[|[1]] A [|list of Islamic terms in Arabic] covers those terms which are too specific to translate in one phrase. While Arabic is strongly associated with [|Islam] (and is the language of [|salah]), it is also spoken by [|Arab Christians], Oriental [|Mizrahi] [|Jews], and smaller sects such as Iraqi [|Mandaeans]. Most of the world's [|Muslims] do not speak Arabic, but only know some fixed phrases of the language, such as those used in Islamic prayer. However, learning Arabic is an essential part of the curriculum for anyone attempting to become an Islamic religious scholar [|Arabic Langues]
