Many Westerners are unaware of the diversity of language and art across the Middle East. Arabic dialects differ based on region and country, and many other Semitic and non-Semitic languages are spoken across the Middle East. Art and technology also develop based on distinct cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic influences. This book examines art, technology, and language on a per-country basis to show students the richness and diversity of culture across the region.
