The primary language of Egypt is Modern Standard Arabic. This language emerged after the Arab conquest of Egypt in the 7th century and has since become the official language of the country. Egyptian Arabic, a dialect of Modern Standard Arabic, is widely spoken in daily life and has unique vocabulary and pronunciation. In addition to Arabic, there are minority languages spoken in Egypt, such as Nubian in the south and various Berber languages in the western desert regions. Despite this linguistic diversity, Arabic remains the central mode of communication for the majority of the population.
