Abstract

Arabic is the official language in 23 countries in the Middle East (all except Turkey and Iran) and North Africa (Suleiman 1999). In four countries (Israel, Chad, Somalia, and Djibouti), Arabic is an official language alongside other languages. Outside the Middle East and North Africa, Arabic has a special status in Islamic countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia as the language of the Koran.
