===Religion===
The majority of the Arab League's citizens adhere to [[Islam]], with [[Christianity]] being the second largest religion. At least 15 million Christians combined live in [[Egypt]], [[Iraq]], [[Jordan]], [[Lebanon]], [[Palestine]], [[Sudan]] and [[Syria]]. In addition, there are smaller but significant numbers of [[Druze]], [[Yazidis]], [[Shabak people|Shabaks]] and [[Mandaeans]]. Numbers for nonreligious [[Arabs]] are generally not available, but research by the [[Pew Forum]] suggests around 1% of people in the [[MENA]] region are "unaffiliated".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pewforum.org/2014/04/04/global-religious-diversity/|title=Religious Diversity Around The World|date=4 April 2014|work=Pew Research Center's Religion & Public Life Project|access-date=9 September 2014|archive-date=5 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140405213639/http://www.pewforum.org/2014/04/04/global-religious-diversity/|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Languages===
The official language of the Arab League is [[Modern Standard Arabic|Literary Arabic]], based on [[Classical Arabic]]. However, several Arab League member states have other co-official or national languages, such as [[Somali language|Somali]], [[Afar language|Afar]], [[Comorian language|Comorian]], [[French language|French]], [[English language|English]], [[Berber languages|Berber]] and [[Kurdish languages|Kurdish]]. In most countries, there is a dominant non-[[codification (linguistics)|codified]] [[varieties of Arabic|spoken Arabic dialect]].
