Ahmed Mehmood indeed, a more progressive unified state would exist(not the Saudis)

even if the origin of the word Arab is dweller of the desert (and im no sure of it) that is not the reason north Africa is an Arab region. Arabs are an ethnic group originally from the Arabian peninsula that spoke Arabic, a Semitic language. After the unification of the Arabs under Islam and Muhammad (who unified the Arabian peninsula as one Muslim Caliphate) several caliphates followed that expanded the empire across north Africa to Spain, the Levant, Persia, central Asia and parts of India. with the empire also came the use of the Arab language and the spread of the Semitic Arab ethnicity. so no north Africans are not Arab because they live in the desert, they are Arab cuz they speak Arabic and are (at least in part, there was a large amount of racial mixing) part of the Arab ethnicity. also keep in mind that not all the Muslim world is ethnically Arab, Persians are a different ethnicity with completely different origin, same with the Turks and across north Africa there are also Berber peoples. most migration of ethnically Arabs and colonization (not just political conquest) happened in north Africa and southern Spain.

daniel ospina perez The origin of Arab is not "dweller of the sand" but simply "nomad". And some sources claim that it means "westerner" as Babylonians and Assyrians were the first to mention them. Arabs are an ethnic group made by two minor groups one originated in the peninsula and the other in the Levant. The peninsular Arabs would be Sabaeans and Levantine Arabs would come to be Nabateans. So pretty much Arabs didn't expand to the Levant because they were already in the Levant. Also keep in mind that the Arabic language came into being in the Levant. As peninsular Arabs spoke a close language but not Arabic. So please don't use the Levant as place with no relation to Arabs. The Persian satrap of the first Persian empire named senai and the south and eastern levant "Arabia" and so did the Roman province of Arabia that covered all of what is now Jordan, Southern Syria, east Syria, South Israel, Senai peninsula of Egypt, and north western Saudi Arabia.

CYFHD i said the dweller of the desert thing because the guy from the video said it was the origin of the word. i actually have no idea what the origin of the word is, thanks for explanation btw. and yes i know that Arabs were in the levant before the expansion of the Muslim empire, but peninsular Arabs were the ones that unified Arabs as one political entity. i know that most of the levant was unified by the Umayyads who were from the levant temselves so i can see were there might be disagreement regarding if the expansion of the caliphate over the levant is an actual expantion. what i was refereeing is political unity (since is this fact that is important for arab migration to north africa and spain), not cultural or ethnic relationships. and regarding the origin of arabs im not saying that the levant is not a native arab region, im saying that the arab race and language is, as far i know, peninsular in origin. still is true that the regions were connected and pinpointing a origin place is impossible. distinguishing between Semitic groups is not an easy task.

As for the origin of the Arabic language, It came from Aramaean and Assyrian and mixed with Sabaean and other South Semitic languages like the language of Jerhum tribe. Mostly Aramaean and Jerhum though. Ancient Arabs spoke Aramiac until Arabic was, you know, a language of it's own.

Miskogwan Red Feather They’re two different words.One is pronounced Ameer,the other is pronounced Aamer.

a couple of things: arab actually comes from the name of the grandfather of all arabs , a man named ya'arub bin qahtan. arab is not actually a pure race of people except maybe in yemen but every other country is extremely mixed since the middle east is literally in the middle of three continents, there are millions of black arabs and millions of white arabs and every shade in between, so the single unifying factor for arabs is language. and that's why we say that morrocans and somalians and even some people in west iran are arabs. it's not islam because we have a lot of non muslims and also turkey and iran are muslims and they're definitely not arab. also , next time color in palestine. even after years of mistreatment they still outnumber the jews in palestine. it's still definitely an arabic country.

Also fun fact: the name for the arabian peninsula in hebrew is khatzi ha’i arav meaning the half island of arabia

North Africa is Berber as well as Arab. It’s important not to wash away the “Berber”. They should hold a relationship similar to how the right and left eye have equal standing in the skull. 😂

North Africans are considered arabs because of the Arab and Islamic conquest in the 8th century. Unlike south/middle Asian countries who been concerned by the Arab like India and Afghanistan, North African adopted the Arabic language,that's why they're arabs even though the culture could vary significantly between each country.

Anonymous how ancient do you mean? Because before the Islamic conquest the region was inhabited by Berber , Amazighy and many other peoples. But the Arab influence was too strong and the people adopted the Arabic language. Before the 7th century you couldn't possibly consider them arabs.

If you remove the Saudis from the throne of Saudi Arabia, it would no oonger be named after them (at least, I don't think it would), so wouldn't that be called "Arabia"? Or would they just name it after the new dynasty?

Kaiser Wilhelm Had the Hashemite dynasty of Hejaz (who currently rule Jordan), as opposed to the Saud dynasty of Nejd United what is today Saudi Arabia, the state would likely have been named the Hashemite Kingdom of Arabia. Jordan, the last Hashemite ruled state left, is officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, whilst Iraq when it was under Hashemite rule was the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq and Hejaz during their rule was the Hashemite Kingdom of Hejaz.

This is one of the stupidest things I've heard from this channel, that North Africans, from Egypt to Morocco, are called Arabs because they "live in the desert". The vast majority live along the Mediterranean coast and Nile river, not the desert. The vast majority are not Arab people, but have adopted Arabic languages due to historical political reasons. That's why they are called "Arabs". The people who actually live in the desert are the Bedouins in the Arabian peninsula.

Linguistically, a majority of North Africans speak Arabic languages and dialects, but that's not enough for ethnicity. Otherwise by the same argument, Indians are all ethnically British. Of course, perhaps have a different definition for "ethnicity" that isn't about how people look, who their ancestors were, or their culture. Not even Middle Easterners are ethnically Arab, really. They, and North Africans, were converted to Islam, and one of the principles of Islam is using Arabic language. Also, the Arab empires wouldn't allow people to hold political office unless they claimed to be Arabs, so many nobles either falsified genealogies or married "Arabs" to gain the political advantage of being "racially arab". After many generations of Arabic based government, religion, and trade, Arab became the lingua franca of the region. And "Arab Identity" cemented itself in culture. This accelerated in the modern age with nationalism and politicized arabism. Before, oppression of local languages was a passive affair, but now language suppression became an active affair. Those in power, who hold office because of the lie that they are "Arab" aren't going to let go of power, and can't change their minds. So they reinforce the propaganda. People like Matoub Lounes were assassinated for defending their Berber heritage. You still hear on the news people like the Assyrians and Yazidis getting killed in Syria due to their "ethic difference". But Genetics don't lie. North Africans have strong genetic ties to their Berber ancestors who lived there long before Arabs were ever a group. North Africans also have lots of mixture from Europeans and other Africans, due to exchanges across the Mediterranean and Saharan trade routes, especially slave trading. Spanish people and West Africans have Berber admixture due to the Moorish empires that conquered them, and sent some settlers.

I’ve always wondered about this question… but the Hebrew word for desert is midbar מדבר (which has the root meaning “to talk” and I have no idea how that happened). With that tho, the Biblical word was arava ערבה. Nowadays, though, the words with that root (ערב) have to do with the evening and the west (and Arabic). The word erev ערב (evening) dates back to Biblical Hebrew. I’ve always found it interesting how that root could refer to people who originated east of Israel, and how the term mizrakhi מזרחי (literally “eastern”) refers to Jews from the same areas.

For example if something happened in Palestine, or Syria, Yemen, or Lebanon. My heart achs, because they are my people. But for somalia, meh, shit happens. the Arab league was created in 1945 for the benefits of ARAB countries such as Egypt, Iraq, Syria, KSA, and Lebanon, NOT for the benefit of Africa. After lots of BEGGING and lobbying of ARAB state members, somalia joined in 1978, as a NON ARAB state. The only reason it joined the Arab League is because they thought they could cash in free $$$ from Arab oil. It is called THE ARAB LEAGUE, NOT THE ABD LEAGUE. PROUD ARAB.

While it's natural to have ancestral influence from your neighbour, Lebanese and Syrians are mostly not ethnically Arab. Same way that the Gulf Arabs may have Levantine influenced ancestry, but are mostly non-Levantine.

Just a gradient of similarity from Morocco to Oman, with Arabic as the official written language.

Before Islam, the term "arab" was used to refer to those who live in open desert ( not in a town) moving from one place to another after rain and grass. Those who lived in town, like Mecca & Madina, referred to those who roam the desert as "arab", which basically means Bedouin/Nomads. After Islam, many new people and nations from out side the Arabian penuncila entered Islam and adopted its main language,Arabic, as amother tongue. After that, the term Arab was no longer used to refer to the Beduin, but to nations whose mother tongue is the Arabic language, and thats why countries like Egypt and Morocco are considered Arab. Also, the early Muslims, who came out of Arabia, migrated to Africa and stayed there thats why there is also a biological link between Arab countries in general. Important note: The grand father of those in the Arabian peninsula came from Iraq (Abraham) and their grand mother (Hagar) came from Egypt.

Jaziira means a piece of land mostly or completely surrounded by water and is also used to reference Mesopotamia in Arabic. Its principle use is in islands in MSA and other modern dialects, but the classical definition isn't wrong, it's just shifted from its modern sense.

*It's also surrounded by chains of mountains* hence _Island_ Plus; you forget to take _Arabia Felix_ and _Arabia Magna_

The Hebrew word for dessert is Midbar. Arbha (which is actually pronounced more like Arava) means more the edge of the dessert, and in modern times is used for an area in the east of the Negev dessert in Israel.

Hey mate! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I am an Israeli and Hebrew is my mother tongue and I have to make a small correction, Arava in Hebrew is somewhat of a Savannah and not a dessert. Arabs in Hebrew are Aravim (the suffix "im" plurulizes) and Arabia is Arav.
