I was talking with a Saudi that I know and as converstations between native and non-native speakers of Arabic tend to go we got onto the subject of dialect. We were speaking about the new Egyptian dialect DLPT5. He made a remark that I found rather funny, whic is roughly paraphrased below.
"Egyptians use lots of humor when they talk. It's just their way. When a real arab meets an egyptian they just start cracking up. They can't help it, it's just that they sound like a clown or a comedian"

Fascinating, not only that Egyptians use a dialect that's numerically cataloged, but that humor is part of that dialect.
Defense Language Proficiency Test Level 5 is as high as you can score. The test qualifies for payment of Foreign Language Proficiency Pay (FLPP). Now I know why Robby avoids me.
