Regional Varieties
Arabic Dialects and Variants We Cover
We match each assignment to the correct regional variety. Different dialects require different interpreters.
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)
The formal register used in legal documents, news media, government communications, and international diplomacy. Required for UN proceedings, court documents, and formal conference interpreting across the Arab world.
Gulf Arabic
Spoken in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. Essential for oil and gas negotiations, Islamic finance transactions, and government meetings across the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Egyptian Arabic
The most widely understood spoken Arabic dialect due to Egypt's media influence. Used for Cairo business meetings, Egyptian legal proceedings, and regional conferences where pan-Arab understanding is needed.
Levantine Arabic
Covers Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. Important for Beirut finance, Amman legal proceedings, and humanitarian and NGO interpreting contexts in the Levant region.
Maghrebi Arabic
Spoken in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. Distinct enough from eastern Arabic to require specialized interpreters for North African business, legal, and immigration proceedings.
