Arabic is the mother language of over 250 million people in the Middle East (West Asia and North Africa), and one of the six official languages of the United Nations. It was the language of an ancient civilization, which contributed greatly to human knowledge. Arabic is also the living medium of a contemporary dynamic literature and culture. Its rich and magnificent poetry, classical and modern, is especially captivating. Persian (otherwise known as Farsi) is spoken today primarily in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan and was once widely understood from the Mediterranean to India, and has a rich historical and cultural legacy.
