 The producers wanted to present the characteristics of the Arabic language and its alphabet . Because pre @-@ production research showed that , although many dialects are spoken in the region , 90 % of Arab children were able to understand Modern Standard Arabic ( MSA ) , it was chosen as the show 's language . Linguist Kees Versteegh stated that the language used in Iftah Ya Simsim was " based on an explicit didactic and linguistic concept " . The show 's developers decided to use specific aspects of the language . Despite the absence of case endings in the dialects spoken by many of its users , the producers used them and other indispensable features of MSA . They also spelled out what features should be used sparingly , like passive verb forms , and what features they wanted to completely avoid , such as some prepositions . According to Versteegh , " These principles have been followed rather closely " . Children who appeared on the show made few grammatical errors in MSA , and although colloquialisms were used rarely , there was an informal quality in their conversations and speech patterns . Versteegh postulated that it was due to the use of intonation patterns and interjections , instead of the use of grammatical and lexical items from the vernacular use of the language . He also said that Iftah Ya Simsim proved that it was " possible to use an informal register of Modern Standard Arabic " . Versteegh reported that although the show was criticized in some Arab countries , Egypt in particular , for containing too many colloquialisms , he thought the criticism was biased and that " the selection of lexical items in any pan @-@ Arabic programme will probably never satisfy everybody " .
