in theory, yes....in practice, difficult.
fas'ha can be understood throughout Arab world --for those who have learned it (through Quran or Arabic classes). On the streets of Damascus or Cairo or Rabat or Manama --if you speak fas'ha people will either laugh at you and/or know you are obviously not a local.
it's like going to Hollywood Los Angeles and speaking Shakespearian English!![Mrgreen :D :D](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mrgreen.gif)
even among Arab peoples, there are lingual/colloqial differences. Tell an Algerian to try communicating with a Saudi in colloqial, and see what happens![Mrgreen :D :D](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mrgreen.gif)

i do think that Pakistanis should be trained in school to learn fas'ha in the interests of better understanding of Quran. Many Pakistanis who are working as expatriates especially in Gulf get a good grasp of the language as that is their means of communication with their employers
actually, more and more gulfies are learning Urdu. Why dont the Arabs adopt Urdu instead![Mrgreen :D :D](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mrgreen.gif)
