which language comes first, Arabic Language or English?

Answer 1

English has some words derived from Arabic so Arabic comes first.

The Arabic language (Arabic: اللغة العربية‎ ​ transliterated: al-lughah al-‘Arabīyyah), or simply Arabic (Arabic: عربي‎ ​ transliterated: ‘Arabī), is the largest member of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family (classification: South Central Semitic) and is closely related to Hebrew and Aramaic. It is spoken throughout the Arab world and is widely studied and known throughout the Islamic world. Arabic has been a literary language since at least the 6th century and is the liturgical language of Islam.

Quite a few English words are ultimately derived from Arabic, often through other European languages, especially Spanish, among them every-day vocabulary like "sugar" (sukkar), "cotton" (quṭn) or "magazine" (maḫāzin). More recognizable are words like "algebra", "alcohol" and "zenith" (see list of English words of Arabic origin).

Answer 5

Arabic. I will tell you reasons. In the Middle East Asia where both Muslims and Christian fought for nations, the Muslims were driven away from their homeland. From middle east they walked by foot and settled in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan. Some ventured through African continents and settled. Some settlers from Saudi Arabia using the south west monsoonal wind sailed along the wind direction and landed in western coast of India. Some along the wind direction landed in Indonesia. Thus Islam spread throughout the eastern hemisphere. Arabic is the main language of Islam. Hebrew being the language of bible and Christianity spread the western half of the sphere. English developed later. Thus Arabic is the oldest language.

Answer 6

In absolute terms, I'm sure Arabic is older. In terms of how ancient Arabic compares to modern, and "ancient" English compares to modern, I couldn't say, since I know nothing of Arabic. However, I know that the very name "English" is not all that old. There was Celtic (which is not similar at all) and there were the Angles and the Saxon, making up Anglo-Saxon, and even the middle ages English of Chaucer is almost unreadable today. So English has evolved very fast.
