This study is devoted to the analysis of the linguistic situation in the Arab world, which is characterized by the phenomenon of diglossia, which causes certain difficulties not only for native speakers of Arabic in situations of interethnic communication, but also for students of Arabic as a foreign language. This study examines the phenomenon of diglossia, as well as its characteristics. In addition, the variants of the Arabic language that exist today in the Arab world are considered. The study also presents the results of research on the language of interethnic communication as well as discusses the prospects for applying the results in the field of teaching Arabic as a foreign language.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Значительно возрос интерес к изучению арабского языка как иностранного, что ставит новые задачи перед исследователями, занимающимися вопросами изучения арабского языка в целом, а также проблемами обучения арабскому языку. Исследована языковая ситуация в арабском мире, которая характеризуется наличием диглоссии, что вызывает определенные трудности не только у носителей арабского языка в ситуациях междиалектного общения, но и у изучающих арабский язык как иностранный. Изучено явление диглоссии, а также ее особенности. Кроме того, рассмотрены варианты арабского языка, существующие в арабском мире. Приведены результаты исследований, касающихся языка междиалектного общения. Оценены перспективы применения результатов исследования в сфере преподавания арабского как иностранного.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Arabic</kwd><kwd>dialect</kwd><kwd>standard language</kwd><kwd>diglossia</kwd><kwd>teaching Arabic</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>арабский язык</kwd><kwd>диалект</kwd><kwd>стандартный язык</kwd><kwd>диглоссия</kwd><kwd>препода- вание арабского языка</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Belikov, V.I., &amp; Krysin, L.P.
