The situation with the Literary Arabic (الفصحى "al-fuṣ-ḥā") versus spoken varieties of Arabic (العامية "al-`āmmiyya" or الدارجة "ad-dārija") differs from country to country, but every Arab country's official language is "standard Arabic" (MSA). Certain dialects have obtained a level of prestige. There is no consensus on which variety of Arabic should be taught to foreigners, although generally MSA is, since nearly all written Arabic texts exist in that variety.
