I assume you mean Arabic. Arabic is the language of the Middle East. There are different dialects as well.
The definition of an Arab is someone who is a member of a group of people who speak Arabic. Therefore Arabs speak Arabic. There are many different dialects of Arabic but they are considered the same language.
Standard Arabic doesn't have a hard G sound, but some dialects do. Different dialects, spell the letter "g" differently: Egyptian Arabic = جاي Saudi Arabic = قاي

There are many differences in this expression between the dialects. Proper Arabic Translation: Allah 3alik (الله عليك).
There are many forms of Arabic spoken in the Middle East, but Arabic as a written language does not vary at all from society to society: written Arabic is referred to as Classical Arabic and is not commonly spoken. In fact there is no written language for Arabic dialects, as they are only spoken and grammatically incorrect, these dialects are part of the Modern Standard Arabic languages. Classical Arabic has been a literary language and the liturgical language of Islam since its inception in the 7th century, and is no longer evolving or progressing in terms of invention of words, terminology or variation of grammar. The only reason Classical Arabic is not a dead language is because there is no proper way of writing the different Arabic dialects and because The Koran is written in Classical Arabic. So to answer your question: No, Arabic is not a modern language.
Not even close. Please see my Article on Arabic Dialects which discusses the differences between the dialects.

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.
