What is MSA and how useful is it for my research or work in the region?
Like most academic institutions worldwide, we teach Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) which is the language of media, literature and education across the entire Arab World. Any highly educated native speaker is proficient in MSA. Although people do not speak MSA at home or in the street, courses, sources, archival materials, lectures, literary and academic works, newspaper articles and news broadcasts are in MSA.
