- 1阿拉伯語；阿拉伯文
Arabic is the language of the Arabs, and also the writing used for that language. It is the main language across North Africa and the Middle East — Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Iraq, and many neighbouring countries. There is not just one spoken Arabic: the Arabic of Morocco is not the same as the Arabic of Iraq in daily talk, though Modern Standard Arabic is the shared written and formal form you hear in news, school, and official life. People also use Arabic as an adjective: an Arabic speaker, Arabic coffee, Arabic script. One everyday stretch is Arabic — the 0–9 figures most of the world with, which reached Europe through the Arab world. The word names the language, and it describes things belonging to that language, people, or culture.
組成Arab (the people; from Arabic ʕarab) + -ic (the Greek/Latin ending meaning “of or belonging to”). English took it from Latin arabicus, from Ancient Greek Arabikós, from Áraps “Arab” + -ikós.
