@gpreport: Language by a ruling power with the explicit goal of completely destroying it. A gradual process in which a language loses its speakers over generations because the prestige, economic necessity, or social pressure of a dominant language (Arabic) leads parents to stop passing their language on to their children. The fact that languages like Coptic or Sabaean disappeared as spoken everyday languages, and languages like Tamazight or Nubian were heavily marginalized over many centuries, is indeed classified by many historians and linguists as the result of systematic marginalization and cultural . #language #arabi #arab #arabian #colonizer

MrCharcold :

More people in the world speak English than Arabic

Tactical_Purr :

it is colonization, finally someone is talking about this

Seriously le goat :

Arabic didn’t replace these languages :) they are still spoken. With conversions to Islam people converted to using Arabic to understand the Quran .

Cipher¹⁵ :

it's not ethnic replacement , ppl just stopped talking these languages slowly cuz Arabic offered a bigger field of communication

Greg Morris :

Arabic is a far more refined language than Hebrew and Aramaic. People liked it and spoke more.

tonyhayes :

English is spoken world wide much more than Arabic is that colonisation?

Lucas :

Do you think we should teach Arabic numerals in schools?

SanatciMimar :

The central point is simple: A language becoming dominant does not automatically prove that it was imposed through systematic cultural oppression. You cannot understand the spread of Arabic without understanding the profound love and reverence that Muslim societies developed for the Qur’an and its language.

غلاب🇸🇦 :

nour(🏳️‍⚧️🪓) :

these languages were basically just mixes of latin and other languages because people wanted to culturally seperate themselves from Rome.. and why do people keep forgetting north Africa welcomed Arabs anyways

tonyhayes :

Arabic is a semitic language same as pheonician or Hebrew Maltese very different to Latin or greek
