You forgot the messaging arabic in which we use numbers 😂😂😂

[zeinaba]

the grammar of the classical and standard arabic is the same. The only difference is vocab. In msa, there are a lot of loan words ( related to technology..). To read the quran, you just learn msa.

The problem with the spoken one is that each country has its own version.

I like modern standard Arabic. I watch 2m TV, so which dialect is best for it?

[soufyanejulakhalli]

I believe the reason there is different dialects is due to the fact that most of these Arabic speaking countries did not speak Arabic at 1 point. Iraqis spoke Chaldean, levantine people spoke Syriac, Aramaic, Egyptians spoke Coptic and north Africa maybe up to 40% still speak Amazigh languages alongside arabic. The dialects formed when the Arabic language of mixed with these local languages and the result today is these dialects.

The levantian arabic closet to the msa and fosha 90%

I'm a lebanese student living in Switzerland I'm just commenting to see if he would reply

[abcfhdi]

I thought most people know the Egyptian dialect. Maybe you just need to learn all the dialects lol. But if MSA is for writing then you can text each other in MSA or you text each other in the dialect you're from?

Me Lebanese and waiting for a Lebanese Youtuber to come to lebanon 🇱🇧

[CommunistfromJapan]

But you definitely need vocabs from MSA when you speak the colloquial one

It always baffles me why people would want to learn Fus7a. For what!? No one speaks Fus7a nor MSA! I had to fucking learn that the hard long way when I started out teaching myself Arabic back in 2003...by myself. In my ignorance, I didn't know there were dialect or spoken Arabic. I thought there was only just 1 Arabic that everybody speaks and that is MSA or Classical Arabic. I spent over 5 years learning Fusha to then meet some Syrian guys and got laughed at and shamed because they couldn't understand me. I said kayf 7aaluka to 1 of them and they laughed at the fact that it sounded weird because nobody speaks like that. I was in the blind and depressed that I spent over 5 years learning Arabic, only to get laughed at and have no one understand me😡😔! Even some of them would straight up tell me they don't know what I'm saying. I later came to find out that hardly any Arab knows Fus7a unless they studied it.

Furthermore it took me another year to discover that Arabs spoke 3amiyya/dialect/spoken Arabic. I never knew such a thing existed as Arabic slang! I immediately started to learn Lebanese Arabic and I immediately seen the huge differences between Fus7a, MSA and spoken Arabic. I then understood why those Syrian guys couldn't understand me. Fus7a is like a whole different language.

As I started to grasp Lebanese Arabic around 2009 and I went back to speak with those same Syrian guys who once laughed at me for speaking Fusha, they immediately understood me and accepted me!

Fast forward to 2020, I've been fluent in Levantine Arabic for years now.

Saying all that to say, I wished I hadn't wasted 5 years learning Quraanic Arabic and fuS7a to then find out that nobody speaks like that besides Bin Laden and ISIS leaders in their 5uTbas😆.

So, my advice to ppl who want to learn is I would not waste my time learning Classical Arabic nor MSA. Why when no one speaks that way? People learn a new language in order to speak it. Why waste time learning something no one speaks? Sure you need MSA to learn the alphabet, but you can learn how to say the alphabet by spoken Arabic.
