Fusha

Fuṣḥa is a collective term referring to the standardized, non-spoken dialects of the Arabic language, as opposed to the spoken varieties of Arabic. The two most common Fuṣḥa varieties are Classical Arabic (ca. 550 AD) and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) (ca. 2000 AD). Despite the large time differences, the two varieties remain largely intelligible, and MSA remains relatively uniform regardless of its place of origin.
