Reviewing the requirements of current policy http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Language_proposal_policy i thought in standard arabic language, and the inevitable consecuense: this language cannot meet the requirement. Standard arabic isn't speak anymore as first language. it's based in Religious arabic languages, it's archaic, and it is neccesary to learn at school to understand it. its situation is similar to medieval latin. Then, the consecuense will be absurd: the rejection of any new project in this useful language.
on the other hand, there are several native languages, all daugthers of classical arabic, like Egyptian arabic (or Masri), whose proposal has been approved

Arabic is the language, Egyptian Arabic (and the rest of ~20) are the dialects, regardless of what people say that it is a different language. please don't compare medieval Latin with Arabic.
Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia is a playground, lets hope it becomes something useful someday.
