One of the six official languages of the United Nations, Arabic is spoken by more than 300 million people in more than 20 modern Arab states in the Middle East, spanning from Morocco on the Atlantic Ocean to Oman on the Arabian Gulf. In addition, around 1.3 billion Muslims around the globe use Arabic as the language of their daily religious life. The modern Middle East is populated by people known for their hospitality and generosity and their rich cultural and intellectual heritage. As the cradle of civilization and the birthplace of three of the world’s great religions, it is home to some of the world’s most important archeological and historical sites. Various cities throughout the Middle East were important centers of learning and civilization for several centuries. The region is also rich in oil and other natural resources, with about two-thirds of the world’s known oil reserves, and sits at an important crossroads for trade and business between East and West. As quoted from The American Association of Teachers of Arabic, "Events in the Middle East affect our daily lives, and only through the study of Arabic can one gain necessary insights into the cultural, religious, and political forces which motivate the inhabitants of that vital region; insights that our monolingual media seldom provide."
