First & foremost Arabic language is an independent language & it's never made up of other languages !!!
On the contrary , many experts tend to believe that the Arabic language is the mother of all languages. A strong evidence that proves this openion is the too much similar words that are found in Arabic & many other languages worldwide, for example in Turkish,Indian, Persian (which also uses the same Arabic script).
In Maltese, the language of the island of Malta,which is a hybird mixture of Arabic & Italian & written in Latin charachters is another example.
Arabic has also made important contributions to a number of Western languages , mainly Portuguese & Spanish.
Such words in common English usage as: arsenal,algebra,alcohol,cotton,sugar,rice,lemon ,are only few of the many words found in Western languages that are either of Arabic origin or have been transmitted to the West through the medium of Arabic.
Arabic has evolved considerably since the seventh century when the Arab conquerors set out to build a vast empire ,which soon stretched from the Indus River in the east to the Atlantic Ocean in the West,& from the Arabian sea in the south to the confines of Turkey & the Caucasus in the north.
Hardly any language seems capable of exercising over the minds of its users such irresistable influence as Arabic. Even in modern times,anyone who has witnessed a public address in an Arab setting will soon realize the powerful -almost magical- effect of the language on the audiance. It's a very elegant great & wide language & those who speak it do know what I mean. Also, it's a very wide & rich language with too many roots comparing to other languages worldwide.
Despite its huge variety, Arabs say that their language is of no exact synonyms , this is a clue for how much expressful it is !
Consequently, Muslims in general & Arabs in particular have long regarded Arabic as
a God-Given language, unique in beauty & majesty. It's the language of several roles :
- As a medium of artistic & correct expressions.
- As an instrument of Religion.
- As a medium of culture.
- As a mainstay of contemporary nationalism.
After all , no wonder why Allah (God) has chosen it to be the language of the Holy Quran?
Remember that each prophet came with a miracle ,granted to him by Allah,in something that his people skilled at and famous for ,so that this will increase the challenge & consequently entrance those people & pushing them to faith.
certainly the main miracle for the Prophet Muhammad PBUH is the Holy Quran which is more than amazing in its fluency & majesty & many things (such as its science also ,which is addressing scientists whatever their tongue is)
& Arabs weren't & aren't & won't dare to face this miracle i,e the Holy Quran....I wanted to say that this is indirectly another proof for the fluency of Arabs & their language ... I hope that I've succeeded in clarifying the point & for more & more information read in history, it's full of stories about the magical genius Arabic language.
Answer BAllah (God) has chosen it to be the language of the Holy Quran because Islam raise from Saudi Arabia and they didn't have proper knowledge of reading and writing. (in any other languages).And before Islam there was the empire of Achaemenian which their main language was "Pahlavi" and Arabic and Persian made from it. Plus, There are 4 more letters in Persian which is one of the differences between Persian and Arabic.
Answer C (Hint on Answer B)I afraid I don't get the point in Answer B.Firstly, It is already well known that in the early centuries you hardly find people knowing more than one energy any where even with the Romans and the Greeks who were the holders of known civilizations. So, it is very logic and usual that the Arabs were at that time knowing only their own language. They are not exceptions of other parts of the world. However, the Arabs at that were in much better cultural position than neighboring lands because they were mainly working in trade and this allowed them to be familiar with the languages and cultures of many other countries and empires.
Secondly, it was God wisdom to put His Islam message within the Arabs, as the starting point for future world spread. This God wisdom, from my own view point, is attributed to two reasons:
- the first is that the Arabs were very much proud of their language and of their superiority in Arabic literature and poetry. They were holding periodical literature and poetry competing festivals. God liked to have Quran as prophet Muhammad miracle by Quran special rhythm as challenge to their language mastering.
- the second is that the Arabs were not belonging to any of the superpowers/ civilizations at that time. Accordingly, the future rise of the Islamic civilization, that Allah the All-knowing is knowing in advance its future occurrence, would be absolutely attributed to Islam motive power and not to other former civilizations.

Did Arabic replace the native spoken languages of West Africans?
Generally speaking, NO. Most West Africans preserved their local languages. Every country south of the Sahara from Senegal to Niger and all countries along the Atlantic Ocean retained their unique spoken languages. To this day European languages brought by the colonizers (French, English, and Portuguese) are more commonly used and understood than Arabic ever was. Arabic in West Africa was primarily used as a language of record, meaning that scribes would write down information and historical accounts in Arabic and officials occasionally spoke in Arabic, but Arabic was not a commonly used language. A similar equivalence could be made concerning French in Britain prior to the 1700s.Conversely, in North Africa, as far south as Mauritania and northern Chad, Arabic did displace a number of local languages especially in the lowland and coastal regions. However, local Amazigh (Berber) and Touareg Languages remained the dominant languages in areas far from the Arab-led coastal cities, such as the Atlas Mountains, or the Sahara Desert.

Why are the official copies of the Quran only written in Arabic?
The Qur'an answers this question itself, in Chapter 43, Verse 3: "Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand." The message of God revealed through Muhammad (S) was initially told to the Arabs, in Saudi Arabia. No one would understand the Qur'an and what God was trying to say if it was revealed in another language, as the Arabs of Mecca and Madinah spoke the Arabic language. Today, the Arabic language is spoken by over 200 million people and there are numerous translations of the original text in all languages, so that all of mankind can understand.
