Answer 2

PEOPLES

Except from small pure Berber populations in the west and Nubians in the south, the population of Egypt is a mixture of principally Egyptians and Arabs, but also with some Nubian and Berber blood.
As Egypt has always been an international country, mixture of races has been going on continually for at least 6,000 years. Hence, it is hard to point to any form of original Egyptian race or races. But we can clearly assume that the amount of Arab blood is quite little compared to the Egyptian, although Arabs had a strong impact on the Egyptians, bringing about a change in their language and cultural identification. Today's Egyptians consider themselves as Arabs, as well as direct descendants of the Ancient Egyptians. Both ideas are correct.
Egyptians become gradually darker in skin color the further south one goes in the country, shaped by contact with ******* peoples from the Sudanese area.
People belonging to the Coptic church are also slightly different from the rest of the Egyptians in racial terms. The Copts are normally considered as the group that is least mixed with invading peoples, at least since the Muslim era started in 7th century.
Jews have mainly avoided intermarriage with other groups in recent centuries, but they speak the same Egyptian Arabic language as everyone else.
The Berbers living in the west (Siwa oasis, the oases west of the Nile and along the coast west of Alexandria), primarily speak Arabic, but Berber language is still strong in Siwa.
Most Nubians in the south have now been Arabized in language and culture, and consider themselves mainly as Arabs, even if they racially are not. A large minority of them still, however, do speak the Nubian language.

Answer 5

Let's see... they speak arabic, they eat arabic food, they listen to arabic music. they breath and live arabic. they're brought up with arabic culture, i.e.: family values, business savvy etc. HENCE, they're arabic. of course every country has different ethnic tribes within them and a history of mixing, but it's the country as a whole that influences its people and their culture.

the only two countries in the middle-east that are not arabic are turkish and iranian people. if you consider afghans to be sociologically part of the mid-east then they're not arabic either.
