Today
Arabic is spoken throughout the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Syria, Jordan,
Lebanon, Palestine, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Mauritania,
and Chad. It is the mother tongue of over 225 million people in Africa and
Asia. And since the Qur'an is written in Arabic, people in other Muslim
countries have from basic to advanced knowledge of Arabic like in Indonesia
(largest Muslim population), Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan,
Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan,
Turkey, Israel, India also has one of the world's largest Muslim populations,
although Islam is not the principal religion there. Djibouti, Gambia, Guinea,
Mali, Niger, Senegal, Somalia, and Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania
(Zanzibar is predominantly Muslim), Nigeria ...and in many places where Islam is
the dominant religion, or even among small Muslim communities, since Arabic is
related directly to the Qur'an, the holy book of Muslim.
Arabic is like any other language, easy in some aspects and hard in some
others, depending on the learner’s background, and ability to adapt to new
rules. A person whose mother tongue is Hebrew will find it easier than a person
whose mother tongue is Spanish or English, because of the similarities, also a
person who speaks more than one language is more likely to learn it easier,
because his/her brain is already trained to deal with more than one language
and adapt with new rules, new vocabulary...
