What is the name of the dialect of Arabic spoken in Upper Egypt (south of Cairo), which preserves features of older Arabic and is often unintelligible to Cairene speakers at full speed?

• A Bedawi
• B Sahrawi
• C Fellahi
• D Sa'idi ✓

Sa'idi Arabic, spoken from Beni Suef southward to Aswan, is characterized by the retention of the Classical 'qaf' as a voiced [ɡ] (unlike Cairene's glottal stop), a distinct set of negations, and lexical conservatism that makes it the most divergent major dialect group within the country.
