Egypt - Religion The official language of Egypt is Arabic, and most Egyptians speak one of several vernacular dialects of that language. As is the case in other Arab countries, the spoken vernacular differs greatly from the literary language. Modern literary Arabic (often called Modern Standard Arabic or al-fuṣḥā, “clear” Arabic), which developed out of Classical, or medieval, Arabic, is learned only in school and is the lingua franca of educated persons throughout the Arab world. The grammar and syntax of the literary form of the language have remained substantially unchanged since the 7th century, but in other ways it has transformed in recent centuries. The modern forms of style, word sequence, and phraseology are simpler and more flexible than in Classical Arabic and are often directly derivative of English or French. There are also other minor linguistic groups. Islam is the official religion of Egypt, and nearly all Egyptian Muslims adhere to its Sunni branch.

Religion in Japan Shinto and Buddhism are Japan's two major religions. Shinto is as old as the Japanese culture, while Buddhism was imported from the mainland in the 6th century.

Religion does not play a big role in the everyday life of most Japanese people today. Religions and Philosophies Other Religion Related Pages Geographic Regions of Egypt This chapter presents the main characteristics of the four geographic regions of Egypt. Since it runs in a north–south direction, the Nile Valley divides the Egyptian landmass into two vast regions: one in the west, and the other one in the east. The one in the west is called the Western Desert, and the one in the east (except for the Sinai Peninsula) is called the Eastern Desert. Although some landforms are repeated in more than one region, every region has its own landscape that makes it different from others. This means that Egypt is divided into four geographic regions: the Nile Valley, the Western Desert, the Eastern Desert, and Sinai Peninsula. Characteristic forms of each region are presented to draw a clear and accurate picture for each one of them, but also of the whole of Egypt.
