The other 16 countries that have Arabic as an official language are for the most part also tiny or at least not very populous.

Not very tiny - about twice the size (in both area and population) of Ireland, for example

It's not even the tiniest country on this quizz: it's more populous and nearly twice as big as Jordan.

I have the percent of Arabic speakers in Oman as 88.6% according to Wikipedia. This is probably wrong, so what source are you using?

the percentage does not really matter. The total in oman is 2.5 million so not enough to make this list.

What source are you using? Because for saudi Arabia I get more like 90%. 27 million instead of 17 million native arabic speakers.

(or a typo? accidentally used a 1 instead of 2 ?)

I assume it includes the millions of expats from the Philippines, India, Pakistan, the USA, Indonesia, Bangladesh, etc - almost none of which speak Arabic - who make up more than 30% of the population of the country.

2019 update: The percentages used on this quiz should be considered to be estimates. The Wikipedia article for this topic is a mess with some very wrong percentages for Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Yemen, and probably other countries too. I did my best to find a percentage that makes sense, but there is simply not accurate data to be found.

Hey Quizmaster, do you think we could have the ability to switch the type of quiz we are making (i.e. normal, picture, and multiple choice) as we are making it. I cannot tell you how many times I have been trying to make a picture quiz, and I am 5 minutes in and I realize I am making a normal, not picture, quiz. You do not have to, but I think it would be a nice feature.

Arabic dialects differ greatly from country to country. The Levantine (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine) countries all speak similarly, but there are still noticeable differences between how a Palestinian and Syrian would speak Arabic. The Gulf countries also speak a little differently. Living in the UAE, I noticed the Arabic that Emiratis spoke had strong influences of Hindi and Farsi, likely because of how many Indian and Iranian expats there are over there. Egypt has its own unique dialect, infamous for using the 'G' in 'gumdrop' in place of the G in 'Giraffe' most of the time, despite the fact that the former sound does not exist in formal Arabic. Then you go to the north African countries, and you find that they have strong influences of French and Berber. I cannot for the life of me understand a word that someone who speaks traditional Moroccan is saying. Algerians also tend to speak more French, at least that's what I noticed from the ones I met.

Highest number? Or highest percentage of the population? The wording is unclear
