Arabic is natively known as العربية and belongs to the Afro-Asiatic, Semitic, Central Semitic language family.
There are approximately 310 million native, 420 million total worldwide.
Arabic is the fifth most spoken language in the world and an official language of 26 countries and the United Nations.
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is used in formal settings, while dozens of regional dialects are spoken in daily life, some mutually unintelligible.
The Arabic script has been adapted for many other languages including Persian, Urdu, Pashto, Kurdish, and historically Turkish, Malay, and Swahili.
Arabic is written from right to left, with letters changing form depending on their position in a word (initial, medial, final, or isolated).
Arabic has had a profound influence on many languages, contributing vocabulary to Spanish, Portuguese, English, Hindi, Turkish, Malay, and Swahili among others.
Arabic speakers form one of the largest non-English-speaking communities in Australia, with over 320,000 people speaking Arabic at home. Migration has occurred in waves from Lebanon since the 1880s, followed by Iraqi, Syrian, Egyptian, and other communities. Sydney's western suburbs, particularly Lakemba, Bankstown, and Auburn, are major hubs.
About Ascot
Ascot is a predominantly affluent residential suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, characterised by large Queenslander homes. Located 7 kilometres (4 mi) from Brisbane, the suburb is well catered for in terms of public transport with many bus and train services departing from Ascot railway station.
Ascot is home to the Eagle Farm and Doomben racecourses, and is best known for its racing carnivals and for the precinct of Racecourse Road, with its cafes, restaurants, boutique shops and poinciana trees lining the street. Historically, the land was occupied by the Aboriginal Turrbal group. In 1855, pastoralist James Sutherland purchased a large portion of area including Ascot and its surrounds.
In 1882 a railway line was built from Eagle Junction to Ascot for access to the racecourse that had already been established. During World War II, several buildings were used by Douglas MacArthur and the Central Bureau, which had its headquarters at "Nyrambla", 21 Henry Street. Also used was the fire station at 77 Kitchener Road and several other locations in nearby Hamilton.
