|1112.00/16.1101 | |regional colloquial variants in the |
|New CB00 needed | |Arab world. Because the Arabic |
| | |language has a number of very |
| | |different spoken vernaculars, being |

| | |all Arab countries has become a |
| | |challenge for English speakers. This|
| | |course teaches a standardized variant|
| | |of spoken Arabic that is close to, |
| | |but more natural than, the literary |
| | |Modern Standard Arabic. |
