Standard Arabic is the formal version of the Arabic language used in writing and formal speech. It is based on the classical Arabic found in the Quran and is used across the Arab world in media, literature, and education. This language serves as a unifying form of communication among Arabic speakers from different countries, as it is understood by people regardless of their local dialects. While Standard Arabic is not typically spoken in everyday conversations, it is essential for official documents, news broadcasts, and literary works.
