Classical Arabic (CA) also known as Quranic Arabic is the form of the Arabic language used in literary texts from Umayyad and Abbasid times (7th to 9th centuries). It is based on the medieval dialects of Arab tribes. Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the direct descendant used today throughout the Arab world in writing and in formal speaking for example prepared speeches some radio broadcasts and non-entertainment content.
