[lg policy] classical Arabic vs Modern Standard arabic

[mostari hind]

Hi all , 

First of all , Merry Christmas !

Through out my humble readings , what I know is that classical Arabic is  the language in which Coran ( the sacred book of Muslims) has been written and the is also the language used by Arabs until 7th century .
But now, we speak about Modern standard Arabic which is the actual modern version of Classical Arabic .

Do you have other definitions or the same as mine ? because I received one stating that Classical Arabic still exists nowadays but I personally disagree because what we have is rather Modern Standard Arabic !

Best
Mostari
