Talk:Yemeni Arabic

It is considered to be the closest to Standard Classical Arabic (the Arabic of the Qur'an).
Removed from article as looks like Yemeni pride - and there is no mention of this fact in any of our articles on arabic. Secretlondon 17:51, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how much stock to put on it, but my copy of Lonely Planet's guide to the Middle East (2003 edition thereof) makes the following statement (p 753, under "Courses" in the Yemen section), "San'a is an ideal place to learn Arabic; costs are low and the language spoken by Yemenis is close to classical Arabic". Not necessarily "the closest" as the original author of this article had it, but I'll add something to this effect (and try to keep it a bit more POV).
