Arabic language

People told me that Arabic language is very important in Africa and Asia.

For example it is spoken by minorities in Black Africa where children study this language in Muslim madrasas (schools).

In this map, we can see that Arabic is spoken in Mali, Niger and Senegal, but it is even studied and spoken in countries like Guinea, Ghana, Nigeria, Central Africa Rep, Cameroon, Uganda or Kenya.

At the same time, Arabic is very useful in Asia where it is also studied in madrasas in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Central Asia, Malaysia, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Indonesia and other countries.

For example, in Al-yazeera people from these countries speak in Arabic in this channel. So, it is true that this language is becoming a Wold language.

What do you think about?

It is also very useful if you intend to go to Meca and throw stones to the devil

Looking at that map I can't see how could it become a world language.

I thought that was a desert area. I wonder how can so many millions of people live there.
Is it because the oil that pays for anti-natural settlements like Dubai?
