Well, beiti beitak.
It's probably an advantage in the USA as well, or was recently, with the military & intelligence bureaus hiring people to translate the messages they intercept from al-Qaeda and stuff. I don't know any Arabic but Ancient Egyptian belongs to the same language family and has things like suffix pronouns and the stative verb. It also borrowed some words from Arabic during its later, New Kingdom phase (ca. 1250 BCE), such as thalg --> thalgu "snow," yam --> yam'ma "lake, sea," and salam --> shalama "peace." I only took up Egyptian as a hobby. There's no speaking or aural skills needed to study it, not even a foreign language, since it's just reading their texts with the aid of a grammar & dictionary.
