Note
A plural that makes sense only once the language is counted as several: it names varieties of Arabic, while the singular usually stands for the language as a whole. It can also be short for Arabic numerals. Avoid it as a plural for people. Using Arabic to mean an Arab is proscribed, and Arabs is the safe word.
