About Saudi Arabic
Saudi Arabic, also known as Gulf Arabic or Najdi Arabic, is a variety of Arabic spoken primarily in Saudi Arabia and neighboring Gulf states. It descends from the Classical Arabic of the Arabian Peninsula, the same region where the Arabic language originated and where the Quran was revealed. Approximately 31 million people speak Saudi Arabic.
Saudi Arabic is written in the Arabic script, which consists of 28 letters written from right to left. While Modern Standard Arabic serves as the formal written language, Saudi Arabic is the everyday spoken language of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. An interesting fact is that Saudi Arabic preserves certain archaic features of Classical Arabic that have been lost in other dialects, owing to the relative geographic isolation of central Arabian communities throughout history.
