There are many languages spoken in Oman but there is only one main and official language for the Omani.Arabic is the Sultanate’s official language but there are minorities who speak Asian languages in the country. These languages include Urdu, Baluchi, and Hindi. Some people speak Swahili but not as much as before, this is only a reminder of the Sultanate’s former African presence.
In business, English is widely used but most people in Oman do not understand English that much. Like any Islamic state, Arabic is the main language of the Omani people. This form of Arabic however is still the same with original Arabic just with a few alterations. In Saudi Arabia, the people from cities speak a different brand of Arabic compared to the Arabic spoken by Saudi Arabians in rural areas. This is the same with Oman, Arabic in one area can be a bit different compared to another area. People from Oman still understand each other of course because there are not many changes in the language just a few localized additions or versions.

Migrants from all over the world who visit Oman or stay in Oman permanently also speak Arabic but some of them also speak other Asian languages such as Chinese, Filipino, Korean, among others.
