Abstract
We begin with two questions about the relative status of Arabic and English in the Arab World: Is there an Arab English? And should Arab science be reported in English or Arabic? To investigate the first question, we collected a WWW corpus of English from Arab countries, and used this as a basis for comparison with UK and US English WWW-corpora. We present the differences found, and possible explanations for the differences. This leads us to some conclusions and ideas for further investigation.
