Description[]
Arabic is a Central Semitic language complex that first emerged in Iron Age northwestern Arabia and is now the lingua franca of the Arab world. It is named after the Arabs, a term initially used to describe peoples living from Mesopotamia in the east to the Anti-Lebanon mountains in the west, in northwestern Arabia, and in the Sinai peninsula.
The language is never heard in conversation between Karthstanis, who prefer to speak English (or whichever other languages the game has been localised to).
Most Middle Eastern nations use the language as official.
