On Language, State, and Class in Egypt
Author(s)Hamel, Rainer E. Hamel
AbstractThe common language in Egypt is called Masri. Fusha is the classical Arabic of the Quran and the official language. English and other languages are taught in private schools and they play a big role in the labor market. Only the wealthy class has access to private schools, resulting in a linguistic market where the wealthy class has more opportunities and assumes a dominant role in the labor market.
