About Classical Arabic
Classical Arabic belongs to the Central Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic language family and is historically associated with the Arabian Peninsula before spreading across the Middle East, North Africa, and other parts of the Islamic world. It has few or no native speakers in the ordinary sense, but it is studied and recited by many millions of people. It is written in the Arabic script, traditionally from right to left, with consonant-based spelling and optional vowel marks.
A distinctive feature of Classical Arabic is its root-and-pattern morphology, in which many words are built from usually three consonants combined with vocalic patterns to express related meanings. It is the language of the Quran and of a large body of early Islamic scholarship, poetry, and prose. Classical Arabic also stands in a close historical relationship to Modern Standard Arabic, which preserves much of its grammar and vocabulary while serving modern formal writing and speech.
