User:Inqilābī/Islamic languages
Islamic languages[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] are the various languages and dialects that were or have been traditionally used by Muslim communities in Asia, Africa and Europe.
Overview
[edit]Classical Arabic is the liturgical language of Islam and traditionally the dominant language of Muslim scholarship, while Classical Persian served as a literary language as well as lingua franca under many Islamic dynasties. With the spread of Islam across Asia, Africa and Europe, many local languages borrowed vocabulary from Persian (including the Arabic elements present in Persian), and many also came to be written in the Arabic script. Thus, several Old World languages whose speakers had adopted Islam, developed and prospered with Islamic influence.
