How many people in chad speak french?
Answer 1
Since 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 2
It 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.
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.

Beginning in the 7th millennium BC, human populations moved into the Chadian basin in great numbers. By the end of the 1st millennium BC, a series of states and empires rose and fell in Chad's Sahelian strip, each focused on controlling the trans-Saharan trade routes that passed through the region. France conquered the territory by 1920 and incorporated it as part of French Equatorial Africa.
In 1960 Chad obtained independence under the leadership of François Tombalbaye. Resentment towards his policies in the Muslim north culminated in the eruption of a long-lasting civil war in 1965. In 1979 the rebels conquered the capital and put an end to the south's hegemony. However, the rebel commanders fought amongst themselves until Hissène Habrédefeated his rivals. He was overthrown in 1990 by his general Idriss Déby. Recently, the Darfur crisis in Sudan has spilt over the border and destabilized the nation, with hundreds of thousands of Sudanese refugees living in and around camps in eastern Chad.
So Chad is an African country because they gained independence.
