	The Arabic language
		ARABIC ranks sixth in the world's league table of languages, with an estimated 186 million native speakers.

	NITLE Arab World Project
		The plural noun 'A'rab indicates the Bedouin tribes who lived in the desert and resisted the message of the Prophet, as for instance in Q 9/97 al-'A'rabu 'ashaddu kufran wanifaqan 'the Bedouin are the worst in disbelief and hypocrisy'.
		Thus, the hierarchy of Arabic dialects culminated in the language of the Higaz, the region where the Prophet was born, and the language of the Quraysh, the tribe in which he was born.
		From here, the poetic language is assumed to have spread to other centres, in the first place to the court of al-Hira, the buffer state in the north between the Bedouin tribes and the Persian empire.

	Arabs
		Arabs are living in an area of 10 million km², with a total population of 250 million.
		Although Arabs originating from the Arab heartland at some time emigrated into all the new territories which today have a population defined as "Arabs," these territories were already peopled by a population far larger than the immigrants.
		Islamism has been felt by non-Arabs as another way to impose Arab language and culture on them, and Islamism has had to change its form to catch on in these societies (Iran's Islamism has major differences from the Arab Islamism, since almost all Iranians are not Arabs).

		The so-called Himyarite language described by Al-Hamdani (died 946) appears to be a special case of language contact between the two groups, an originally North Arabic dialect spoken in the South, and influenced by Old South Arabic.

	Arab Nationalism: Mistaken Identity by Martin Kramer
		The Arab nationalist state under Faysal in Damascus proved to be chaotic, and his subsequent reign in Iraq rested on the bayonets of the British.
		It is only when the Arabs succeed in ridding themselves of the highly idealized Arab nationalist vision of their past that they will be able to live together in the modern Arab world as a coherent political community whose various members relate to one another constructively and without reserve.
		Arab nationalism acknowledged them as fellow Arabs, but it glorified precisely that "golden age" of Arab history that the Shi'ites mourned as disastrous, during which their heroes were martyred by the very same caliphs lionized in Arab nationalist historiography.

		Arab philologists of the nineteenth century were aware of the increasing impact of the media, and the Lebanese Ibrahim al-Jazidji (1847–1906) wrote his book Lughat al-Sahafah (The Language of Dailies) to draw attention to faultiness and deviations from classical norms.
		The Arabic language (Arabic: اللغة العربية‎ transliterated: al-lughah al-‘Arabīyyah), or simply Arabic (Arabic: عربي‎ transliterated: ‘Arabī), is the largest member of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family (classification: South Central Semitic) and is closely related to Hebrew and Aramaic.
