Arabic in the Indian subcontinent
Arabic is one of the oldest languages still spoken today, with roots going back to the 5th century BCE. More than 400 million people speak it, making it the 5th most spoken language in the world. It is the official language of 22 countries and also one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
In India, Arabic has had a deep influence for centuries. It shaped religion, culture, and even trade. For Indian Muslims, Arabic is sacred because it is the language of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. Millions study it to connect with their faith and understand the Quran in its original form.
India’s long trade and cultural exchanges with the Arab world also brought Arabic words into many Indian languages, leaving a lasting mark on its heritage. Today, with India’s strong economic ties to Arab countries, knowing Arabic is a valuable skill. It can create opportunities in business, translation, diplomacy, and the energy sector in the Middle East.
