Emirati Arabic varieties can also be distinguished based on environmental factors, including variations associated with Bedouin communities, coastal, agricultural, and mountainous regions.
The Federation of Arab Emirates (FAE) (Arabic: اتحاد الامارات العربية), also sometimes Union of Arab Emirates, was a proposed sovereign federal union of nine sheikhdoms of Britain's Persian Gulf Residency, comprising Bahrain, Qatar and the rest of seven emirates of the Trucial States, namely Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Umm Al Quwain, Ajman, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. The union existed during much of the unification of the United Arab Emirates and came into being as a semblance of a transitional government in February 1968 following a meeting between the leaders of these emirates in less than two months after the British decision of withdrawal was announced. However, several disagreements between the leaders due to political and economic reasons led to the dissolution of the union when Bahrain and Qatar announced their respective independence by August and September 1971 whereas the rest of the Trucial States (with the temporary exception of Ras Al Khaimah) went on to form the United Arab Emirates in December 1971.
The following charts below are the family trees of the rulers of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates from the 18th century to present day. The House of Nahyan rules Abu Dhabi, the House of Maktoum rules Dubai, the House of Qasimi rules Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, the House of Sharqi rules Fujairah, the House of Mualla rules Umm Al Quwain, and the House of Nuaimi rules Ajman. The ruler of Abu Dhabi generally holds the presidency of the UAE and the ruler of Dubai holds the vice presidency and premiership.
The unification of the United Arab Emirates was a political and diplomatic campaign essentially led by the ruler of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan in the British protectorates of the Persian Gulf Residency primarily from February 1968 to December 1971 where he successfully convinced the rulers of the emirates of Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain to form an independent sovereign federal union with Abu Dhabi, initially known as the Federation of Arab Emirates and later as the United Arab Emirates on the eve of Britain's withdrawal and anticipated dissolution of the Persian Gulf Residency. The period may also include the two months between the federation's proclamation in December 1971 and up until the accession of Ras Al Khaimah in February 1972 which temporarily resisted the union upon its inception due to several geopolitical and economic reasons.
