Is Dubai Arabic same as Saudi Arabic?
Saudi Arabia actually has several different dialects depending on where in the country you are. Hejazi, which comes from the northwest is the most dissimilar to Emirati Arabic (what they speak in Dubai). There are also Bedouin versions of Arabic and some Yemeni and Omani spillover near those borders. While the Saudi dialects are different than the Emirati dialect, it is not difficult to communicate with an Emirati even if you speak Hejazi and vice versa.
Why do somalis look like Arabs?
The answer is no- Somalians are not Arabs due to the geographical location , i.e Africa which make the African.The DNA of the Somali people is still being disputed of but it's likely that their previous ancesters could have been the Ethiopians. In addition, what is known when it comes to DNA is that they have Eurasion blood which therefore explains their unique characteristics if not caucasion features.
Seeing as Islam spread much during the 7th century over Africa- that could be one influence that the Arabs had similar with Somalians as well as some parts in language and culture.

Who should occupy Israel the Jews or Palestinian Arabs?
The way the question is written is to assume that it is not theirs, which is not the case in the slightest. According to historical, religious, legal, and political grounds, the territory of the British Mandate of Palestine at least partially, if not entirely, belongs to the Jewish people.
1) Historically: The Jews have an undeniable presence in the land from at least 700 BCE until 70 CE and this is proven not only by the Biblical account, but from Assyrian Ruins, Babylonian documents, Hellenistic inscriptions, and Roman volumes. Jews had a continuous presence in the land from 70 CE until the present day (even though they were nowhere near the majority) even though they were forcibly deported from the territory. The fact that they survived, as opposed to the Arameans or Hittites who were similarly exiled does not illegitimate their claims.
In addition to the population-part of the historical claim, Jews have physical ruins and cities that are very sacred to them in the territory of the British Mandate of Palestine. The city of Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Jewish Bible. The city of Nablus used to be the Northern Metropolis of Shechem. Hebron was the first capital of Ancient Israel whence Saul ruled and David ruled until he conquered Jerusalem from the Jebusites. Even more recent sites like Masada document the Jewish presence and struggle to persevere.
2) Religiously: The Jewish claim to have a connection to the land of the British Mandate of Palestine is firmly grounded in their religion. Jews as early as the Babylonian exiles wrote about returning to the land because God had promised it to them. According to the Pentateuch, God promised Abraham that piece of land. (This promise is even acknowledged in the Qur'an 5:20-21 and 17:104.) Many Jewish Holy Sites are in Israel such as the Kotel Hama'aravi (Western Wall).
3) Legally: By international law, the Ottoman Empire took the territory from the Seljuks and Abbassids by internationally recognized conquest. The territory was ceded to the British as a Mandate by the Ottomans as a term of surrender in World War I. (Even though the British had promised the territory to both the Arabs and Jews during the War, neither promise is legally binding.) According to the terms of the Mandate, even though the British were in control, the League of Nations had official jurisdiction. In 1947, the British gave direct authority to the League of Nations' successor, the United Nations, in accordance with the terms of their Mandate. The UN passed the 1947 Partition Plan that gave both a Jewish State and an Arab State the Right to Declare Statehood. The fact that the Arabs decided not to immediately declare such a state does not make the Israeli declaration any less valid. (It is important to note that Palestine did declare statehood on these grounds in 1988, which further cements the legality of this view.)
4) Politically: Jews invested a lot in building the political and physical infrastructure of the land even before they had control. Jews built farms, trained military brigades, created political parties, studied government, and defended themselves. This created a system that was able to repel the Arab Attacks in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, secure expanded borders in the Six Day War of 1967, and hold those borders in the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. Israelis were actually able to exert control over this territory.
Of course, this list is not exhaustive, but should capture the sentiment of the question.

Is there a difference between Arabs Kurds and Persians?
Answer 1
The difference between Persians and Turks are that Turks are of Mongol descent. Persians are Aryan.
Answer 2
Persians are an Indo-European people who developed a civilization in what is now Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The Persian Empire is known for a vast expansion, characterized by a tolerant attitude towards minorities and gifts of autonomy to local regions, governed by an absolutist king. Their historic religion is Zoroastrianism, but after the conquest of Persia by the Islamic Caliphate, the majority religion of the Persians (as well as the ethnic minorities of Iran) has become Shiite Islam.
The Turks are composed of two historical groups that intermarried and created a unified culture. Oghuz Türk nomads, an Altaic people from Central Asia, conquered Anatolia and brought it under their rule. During that period, those former Byzantine citizens who converted to Islam began to take on the same mannerisms as the foreign Türks who had conquered them. They began to speak the same language, dress in the same clothes, and believe in the same general ideologies. This process is well-documented by Turks and is called Turkification or Türkleşme. Turks primarily exist in Turkey and Cyprus with a significant diaspora in the USA and Germany. The historic Turkish State was the absolute monarchy of the Ottomans and the modern Turkish State is the Secular Turkish Republic. Sunni Islam has always been a central part of Turkish identification and culture and was one of the earliest markers of "Turkishness". With the advent of the Secular Turkish Republic, there has been a push to determine Turkishness based on forms of identity other than religion, to make Jewish, Christian, and Alevi citizens of Turkey into Turks as well.
What dif Ghana and Arabia trade with each other?
Ghana and Arabia traded salt and gold because Ghana was low on salt.
What year did the UN divide Palestine into a jewish state and an Arab state?
The Answer you are looking for is "the United Nations Partition Plan for the Mandate of Palestine".
However, there are two minor errors in the phrasing of this question. The first is semantic: the UN Partition Plan came out of UNGA Resolution 181 which was passed on November 29, 1947, not 1948. Israel declare independence according to the provisions of UNGA Resolution 181 on May 14, 1948, but that was not when the "division" occurred.
The second error is that Palestine was not actively divided. The UN took a map and made a prescriptive judgment about where a Jewish State should be and where an Arab State should be. It would have been binding had both sides agreed, but the Arabs were not interested in allowing for any Jewish State and therefore prevented an agreement from being realized. Therefore, Palestine was not actually divided physically, just potentially. Israel used this window of permissibility to declare statehood in 1948 and Palestine used this to declare statehood in 1988.

Answer
Urdu, the national language of Pakistan, was created around the 1600's in Central Asia. The word 'Urdu' comes from the Turkish word 'ordu' meaning 'camp' or 'army'. It was used as a unifying communication tool between the Muslim soldiers during their conquest of Ancient India (including Countries east until Myanmar) and Eastern Persia.
These soldiers were of Persian, Arab, or Turkish descent. The majority of the soldiers, however, were of Persian origin. This directly affected the language to be used between them. The language of the government and that which dominated earlier on was Farsi, but eventually changed to Urdu to accommodate the other races. Despite the fact, Urdu vocabulary contains approximately 70% Farsi and the rest being a mix of Arabic and Turkish.
The grammar takes some elements from Farsi and Arabic but also has elements that are unique and different from all three of its mother tongues. In current times, however, many Urdu speakers have adopted many English and Hindi terms following the effects of globalization and the success of Bollywood, the Indian film industry, in Pakistan.

How do you say hello in Lebanese?
Well in written Arabic it's (ila al lika')which means "until another encounter" like au revoir in French. But we never use it in spoken Arabic (Lebanese). Some religious people say "assalam aleykom" which translates "may peace be upon you". As for the majority of Lebanese, they say informally "yalla bye" which means "ok bye". There's as well "alla ma ak" if they are saying good bye to someone who is leaving, which translates to "may god be with you". You don't have to be religious to say that, it's a very common way of saying bye too. hope it helped.

How did Chad get their Arabic language?
Answer 1
Chad is a Muslim country, and so Arabic-being the main language of many Muslims-is spoken there.
Answer 2
Although Chad was never under the direct power of any Arab Caliphate (like the Umayyads, Abbassids, or Fatimids), those empires had a strong influence on Chad. As a result of the power of these empires, the Arabic language became a lingua franca for Trans-Saharan trade. Over time, it changed from being a language spoken only for trade into a language that people spoke in their homes. How it became dominant over much of Chad is still not known.

ok, so, the arabians are people from Arabia, a southern portion of India, who loved telling stories, riding cammels, finding treasure, etc.
you might have heard the story of Aladin, it was a place of high climate and the arabians rode cammels and wore lots of clothes, so when they sweat it kept them cool.
______________________________________________________________________
Arabians are the people that form middle eastern tribes. Truth be told there are no such people called arabians, each person who lives in Saudi Arabia actually says they are from whatever tribe they belong too. Saudi Arabians are actually a separate tribe upon themselves and due to their growing power that came from westerner influence, they were able to create the country of Saudi Arabia, literally naming the country after their tribe. This was a highly controversal situation for those who belonged to other tribes, yet the Saud tribe was considered the Royal Tribe so the claim went unchallenged due to their power in numbers and in name.
What the person above is describing is kind of a old out dated view of Arabs. Bedoins, nomadic desert dwellers, are also Arabs who have chosen to live off the land, herding goats and camels and living within tents. Due to westener influence Arabs are quite prosperous and live in cities not necessarily the desert, in fact Saudi Arabia is placed upon a plateau and the desert surrounds it.
