There is Common Arabic, to speak of... what's it called now... el 'araby fasl(i) or something like that. The numbers I put in Common Arabic and the sentence I tried to make into Common as much as I could, considering I don't speak it.

As for the case with the numbers, it's a safer bet to learn the arabic that's considered "official", rather than dialects (for instance, we use 'g' in some of our words, such as in coffee, jump, and rise (as in 'stand up').

If I were to say that "I'd like to meet new people" in my own dialect, I'd say, "Ahib ashof nas jedida".
