===Arabic=== In Arabic, the euro is usually referred to as {{lang|ar|يورو}} {{IPA|ar|ˈjuːro, ˈjuːru|}}, which is an adaptation of the English pronunciation of the currency's name. Another naming is {{lang|ar|اورو}} {{IPA|ar|ˈʔoːro|}}, which is an approximation of the French pronunciation {{IPA|fr|ø.ʁo|}}. In most cases this term is used both for the singular and the plural form, although the plurals {{lang|ar|يوروات}} {{IPA|/juːroˈwaːt/}} and {{lang|ar|يوروهات}} {{IPA|/juːroˈhaːt/}} are sometimes encountered. The name for Europe in Arabic is {{lang|ar|أوروبا}} {{IPA|/ʔo(ː)ˈrobba, -ˈroppa/}}. Because [[loanword]]s are not of [[Classical Arabic|Arabic]] origin, they are pronounced in accordance with the spoken [[varieties of Arabic]] phonology. For example, {{lang|ar|أوروبا}} is pronounced {{IPA|arz|ʔoˈɾobbɑ, -ˈɾoppɑ|}} by [[Egyptian Arabic]] speakers, while {{IPA|[ʔoːˈrobba, -ˈroppa]}} by [[Levantine Arabic]] speakers. Attempts to artificially arabize the pronunciation according to the [[Arabic phonology|standardized Arabic phonology]] would be more conforming to [[Arabic transliteration]]s such as ''{{transliteration|ar|DIN|Yūrū / ʾŪrū, ʾŪrubbā}}'' which would be theoretically pronounced {{IPA|/ˈjuːruː, ˈʔuːruː, ʔuːˈrubbaː/}} for {{lang|ar|يورو,‎ اورو,‎ أوروبا}}, respectively. See also [[List of diglossic regions#Arabic|Arabic diglossia]] to understand why the pronunciation differs from region to region.
