That's not true. Although the vast majority of Arabs are raised on a
local variety, there are a small number whose native language is
indeed Modern Standard Arabic. Imagine, perhaps, that their father is
a well-educated Moroccan and their mother is a well-educated Syrian,
and they were raised in Yemen.

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

precissely for its native condition.
