^ Literary Arabic is the sole official language.Egyptian Arabic is the national spoken language. Other dialects and minority languages are spoken regionally. "Among the peoples of the ancient Near East, only the Egyptians have stayed where they were and remained what they were, although they have changed their language once and their religion twice. In a sense, they constitute the world's oldest nation". Arthur Goldschmidt Jr. ^ See Daylight saving time in Egypt.
