"Modern Times"...[edit]

Saddam Husseins strategy in al-Anfal campaign was not fuelled with an intention to "Arabize" Kurdish-speaking groups in Kirkuk. He was in fact trying to spread out the opposers of the solidarity of the state. If the rebellion against him wasn't staged for political and economical gain by the Kurds, the Anfal campaign wouldn't have come to fruitition, thereby debunking any claim that it was "forced" Arabization. I think we need to revise that section. 213.42.2.11

Early Antiquity[edit]

The Neo-Babylonians spoke Aramaic, not Akkadian (the language of the Old Babylonian Empire with Sargon, etc...). A reference for claiming that Akkadian was particularly close to Arabic would be useful. Anyway, the passage down to the Nabateans is pretty much off the mark

Arabic vs. Arab[edit]

Arabic is the language. Arab is the race/ethnicity/culture/identity. If you do not know the difference between Arabic and Arab, please do not edit the article and fill it with inaccurate terminology.
