Overview:
The Arab World encompasses all areas in which Arabic is the dominant language, even though many peoples that speak languages that pre-date the Arab invasions are included in this affinity bloc.
The Arab World is located in Western Asia and North Africa. More than thirty Arabic languages are spoken by the nineteen people clusters that comprise this affinity bloc. Included among these are two Bedouin clusters and five Berber clusters.
