“What are you doing?” Across the Arab World
(lemmy.cafe)
- Arabs at the rise of Islam already were speaking different dialects and so they took those differences with them.
- Different regions have had different influences, e.g. Coptic and Greek in Egypt, Punic, Latin and Amazigh in North Africa, Nubian in Sudan, and so on.
- 1400 years of divergent history, including different foreign rule in different regions.
