There has often been a difference between spoken and written Arabic.


The spoken Arabic language was developed from a proto-semitic language which has its earliest records in the 23rd century B.C. from Saragon of Akkad. Spoken Arabic is probably the youngest of the languages that come from the proto-semitic language, and is probably the richest language in the world today.
The term "Arab" may have originally came from the Akkadian word meaning "west" referred to the desert nomads who lived west of Mesopotamia.


Arabic today. Most of the spoken Arabic of today are actually regional dialects that stem from the very rich and beautiful classical Arabic of the early seventh century. MSA is another form of the Arabic language that is used today by professionals and the educated.
