Best Answer

Yes. Chadian Arabic is not pure Arabic. It has a number of influences from Bantu-Khoisan Languages (which were indigenous to Chad prior to the arrival of Islam) and from French due to the colonization.

How many people in chad speak french?

Answer 1Since about 55% of the people of Chad are Muslim, it is safe to say that is the percentage that speak Arabic. But linguists have noted that the Arabic spoken in Chad is slightly different in pronunciation and slang from the Arabic spoken in some other Arab countries.Answer 2It is incorrect to claim that because a Chadian is a Muslim that he would speak Arabic. Arabs only count for 12% of the Chadian population and even fewer than that speak Chadian Arabic as a native language (7.5%). There are over 100 languages spoken in Chad and there is incredible linguistic diversity in both the Muslim and Non-Muslim populations. However, since Chadian Arabic is a lingua franca across the country, many Chadians can speak a few words of it in order to get their point across.
