   An Arab (Arabic: ?????, ?arabi) is a person who identifies as such on linguistic or cultural grounds. The plural form, Arabs (????? al-?arab), refers to the Ethnocultural group at large.
   Though the Arabic language is older, Arabic culture was first spread in the Middle East beginning in the 2nd century as culturally Arab Christians such as the Ghassanids, Lakhmids and Banu Judham began migrating into the Northern Arabian desert and the Levant. The Arabic language gained greater prominence with the rise of Islam in the 7th century AD as the language of the Qur'an, and Arabic language and culture were more widely disseminated as a result of early Islamic expansion.
