The most widely spoken language in Egypt is Egyptian Arabic (Masri), which is part of the Arabic language branch of the Afro-Asiatic family of languages. The Arabic language was brought to Egypt during the Muslim conquest of the 7th century, and its development was mainly influenced by the indigenous Coptic-Egyptian language of pre-Islamic Egypt, and later by other languages ​​such as Turkish. Arabic is the national language of Egypt, spoken by over 76 million people. It is also one of the most widely spoken and studied languages. The Coptic language, a direct descendant of the ancient Egyptian language that was once written in Egyptian hieroglyphic, hieratic, and vernacular scripts, is used by the Coptic Orthodox Church. The Coptic alphabet is a modified form of the Greek alphabet, with some letters derived from the vernacular. The official language of Egypt is standard Arabic and is used in most print media. English and French are also widely spoken and used in business circles.

Egyptian phrasebook

The two most common Arabic phrases that you will hear around you every now and then during your stay in Egypt are:
"In shcha alla!" - "If Allah wills!", and
"Il hamdul illa!" - "Thanks God!".
Using these phrases to the point and even inappropriately, you can "keep up a conversation" with the Egyptians for a long time, and in such a way that they will not immediately suspect that you absolutely do not know their language. Imagine that you will be asked questions in Arabic:

You are from Russia?
- Il hamdul illa!
- you will answer.
- Have you come to rest?
- In sha alla!
- Do you like Egypt?
- Il hamdul illa!
- etc. to infinity.

And here are the Arabic words that everyone should know polite to a foreigner in an Arab country:

Yes - ayua,
no - la,
thanks - shukran,
please - afuan,
Sorry! (to attract attention) - leusomacht!
maybe, maybe - mumkin.

For shopping you will need the following words and expressions:

How much does it cost? - Bikum huh?
Can I watch this? - Mumkin ashuf yes?
money - fulus,
surrender - fakka,

When moving the city may need the following words:

To the right - yaminak,
to the left - schimalek,
here, hyena
Where are you going? - Inta raih dryer?

For orientation in time useful to learn:

Today - innaharda,
yesterday - imbarih,
tomorrow - bukra.

Word " bokra" is often used as a polite refusal. If you are promised that they will do something for you "tomorrow", then this may mean that they will never do it ... Europeans jokingly call this phenomenon of Egyptian national psychology the abbreviation "IBM" - " In sha alla, Bokra, Mumkin", which means "If Allah wills, Tomorrow, Maybe!".

twenty - esrin,
