History
Arabic has been the liturgical language of Islam since the 7th century. It is classified as a member of the Semitic language family. It is closely related to Hebrew and Aramaic and shares a Proto-Semitic ancestor. During the Middle Ages, it was a major vehicle for scientific and philosophical culture. As a result, many European languages have been borrowed words from Arabic. The influence of the Arabic language is especially strong in Spanish and Portuguese. -
