Reginal differences abound with all languages
ward ... does you try to trap me
I have some background about who is speaking more or less Arabic, just because I was residing several years in those country
yourself ward you have a clear idea about that matter, isn't
for the new-by ...
- classic Arabic, is the pure Arab language, used for religion (Quran wrote in this language), but also, all newspapers, courses in University, news in TV, in ALL Arabic Islamic country

- KSA is the country where the colloquial language is the nearest from classic form

- Egypt, has some few difference, with typical idioms, but yet near to classic

- Libya, it's in between of KSA and Egypt

- Algeria, ... the mess ... 3 words in French with "at" at end, then 2 words in Arabic, 1 word in Berber
all Berbers (5 ethnics) are not speaking Arabic AT ALL, and they refuse to learn it ...
black population from Adrar (Timimoun) are speaking a very good and clear Arabic

- Morocco, they speaks Berber for a large majority, few are using Arabic language, otherwise, they use mainly French language

all that is a bit schematic, not easy to summarize, but I must be, more or less, not too far from ... my truth

I'm "respectfully for Moroccans",
my own grand-daughter has 1/4 blood from them
but facts are there ...

best Regards ward
