Question
I just found out that Egyptian's primary language is Arabic and I want to know that is it a direct or indirect language? What I mean by direct is that do they use direct words to express their feeling (for example: like English). Otherwise, it is a indirect language, like Chinese.
Thank you!  

Answer
Exist and language in Egypt that is the Arabic used in that country,but exist a general Arabic language knew like alfus'ha,that is spoken in all arab countries,in similarity US,Australia,United Kingdom are places where English is spoken but with some differences,is the same in Arab countries,each of that has own Arabic language but is understable for any arab.
