One of unique things about Arabic is how strongly its speakers wish to preserve the language. As a result, there is a singular official Arabic language called Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) in English and Fus-ha (فصحة) - which means "the eloquent language" in Arabic. However, MSA is a language that goes back over 1400 years and therefore is radically different than the way people speak to each other on a daily basis. (Think about how radically different Shakespeare's English is from the way people speak English today.) However, each city's spoken Arabic is just a little different from the next city's just like English is just a little bit different from Newcastle to York to Cambridge. Over longer distances the dialects become less and less intelligible. It is estimated that there are nearly 40 distinct Arabic dialects in over a dozen families.
