The Tunisian pop singer Latīfah has a famous song in ECA in which she defines “the Egyptian.” Her main definition of an Egyptian is one who speaks Arabic. Arabic as a classification category has been discussed in the last chapter and will recur throughout the book, especially in Chapter 6, in which I discuss how the media, during the 2011 Revolution, claimed that speaking Arabic was the primary criterion for defining “the real Egyptian.” However, the reference to Arabic in this song is both ambiguous and general. The sentence b-ism illa:h wa b-ism bila:di: (“In the name of God and my country”), when said in Arabic, is largely neutral; it is chosen intelligently to be realized almost identically in spoken SA and ECA. For an Egyptian, it does not evoke the associations of ECA, nor of SA. Tactfully, the producers of the song avoid tackling the issue of Standard Arabic versus colloquial. However, they still provide another proposition about language and identity and the close relationship between “Arabic” and the Egyptian identity, yet provide no answers about which “Arabic” is associated with identity and thus avoid the tension that occasionally exists between advocates of standard and colloquial forms of Arabic.
