Arab people (Arabic: عربي, ʿarabi) or Arabs (العرب al-ʿarab) are an ethnic group whose members identify along linguistic, cultural or genealogical grounds.[11] Arabs are a Semitic people originating in Arabia, but today spread across most of Western Asia and North Africa, and many other parts of the world.[12]
The Arabic language became the lingua franca of the wider Mediterranean region with the rise of Islam in the 7th century CE as the language of the Qur'an, and Arabic language and culture were widely disseminated as a result of early Islamic expansion.[13]
Though the Arabic language is older, Arabic culture was first spread in Western Asia beginning in the 2nd century as culturally Arab Christians such as the Ghassanids, Lakhmids and Banu Judham began migrating north from Arabia into the Syrian Desert and the Levant.[14][15]
