Arabic - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Arabic (818 words)
Arabic is also a language of religious and cultural significance in such other countries as Bangladesh, India, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, and Somalia.
Classical or formal Arabic is characterized by the retention of many unique Semitic phonemes, for example, the pharyngeal consonants, 'ain, ha, and qaf, ‘strangled’ versions of h and k; and the ‘emphatic’ consonants, d, t, s, z, characterized by a lateral or ‘l-coloured’ pronunciation and by their marked effect on neighbouring vowels.
Arabic is written in an alphabet probably invented in 5th-century Arabia, and short vowels are usually omitted except in children's books and the sacred text of the Koran.
