Best Answer

There are a large number of Arabs in several countries formerly occupied by France (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, and Syria) who speak French. In some cases, especially in Lebanon and Tunisia, there are some Arabs whose first language is actually French. However, the majority of Arabs do not speak French and their native language is usually a local dialect of Arabic.

Some Arabs may speak French, as it is one of the official languages in many Arab countries due to historical colonization. However, not all Arabs speak French, as Arabic is the primary language in most Arab countries.

Some of them speak both Arabic and French. France has had close ties historically with some Arab countries, such as Tunisia and Algeria.

Can Arabs speak American?

Considering that there is no language as "American", the question is unanswerable. If the question is asking whether Arabs can speak English or other Western Languages, this depends. Arabs who grew up in Western countries naturally speak Western languages like anyone else who grew up there. In the Arab World, educated Arabs are usually bilingual, but the second language depends more on who the former colonizer was, i.e. former French colonies have mostly Arabic-French speakers and former British and Italian colonies have mostly Arabic-English speakers. I would say that a much higher percentage of Arabs speak English than Americans speak Arabic.
