Answer 2

Most people would say they are outgoing, not afraid to speak up. It depends on the person though. Some are shy some are not afraid to curse people in public!! lol. They usually have dark/tan skin. Brown Eyes. Not petite. Not huge. In any description, i would say Arabs are awesome...mainly cause im part Arab..well...Palestinian...(not sure if that's spelled right, my dads family tree started in Al Rumlah, Palestine.) But, lots of Arab kids that were born out of the USA and brought here at a young age would have the ability to speak with an American accent and perfect Arabic accent. Mainly because they would be speaking Arabic with their parents at home or learning it in a school that teaches that language. And speaking English because of school hours in an all English speaking school. The Arabic language actually has every single sound of every letter in any other language. if you speak Arabic, you can pronounce any other language is what im trying to say. some may get confused with Hispanic and Arabs. because both usually have darker skin, but i would say ask them. if they don't know, find out from their parents.

Answer 3

According to Maxine Rodinson (The Arabs), the modern definition is simply one who identifies as an Arab. Thus, most Berbers (but not all) of North Africa now identify as Arabs and therefore are Arabs. Egyptians similarly identify as Arabs. The Palestinians identify as Arabs, although they are probably of mixed Canaanite, Philistine, Nabataean and Arab ancestry.

More specifically, Arabs are a semitic race, originating from and near the Arabian peninsula of the Middle East.

The Nabataeans were an Arabic nation that occupied parts of Jordan and southern Palestine in late biblical times.
