About Egyptian Arabic

Egyptian Arabic is a variety of Arabic spoken in Egypt, having developed from the Classical Arabic brought during the Muslim conquest of Egypt in the 7th century. It absorbed influences from Coptic, Turkish, French, English, and Italian over the centuries. Approximately 65 million people speak Egyptian Arabic as their native language.

Egyptian Arabic is written in the Arabic script, reading right to left. While Modern Standard Arabic is used for official purposes, Egyptian Arabic dominates daily communication throughout Egypt. It is the most widely understood Arabic dialect across the Arab world, largely due to Egypt's enormous influence in film, television, and music, making Egyptian movies and songs popular from Morocco to the Gulf states.
