@Pretty, sounds awfully repetitive. I get what it means, but I guess there should be some commas or sth like that... |

Arabs are a people
whose place of ethnic origin is the Arabian Peninsula.
The language which
they speak, and which has spread widely to other areas, is Arabic. �Arabic� is
not generally used as an adjective except when referring to the language or in
a few traditional phrases such as �gum arabic� and �arabic numerals.� Note that
in these few phrases the word is not capitalized. Otherwise it is �Arab
customs,� �Arab groups,� �Arab countries,� etc.
A group of Arab individuals is made of
Arabs, not �Arabics� or �Arabians.� The noun �Arabian� by itself normally
refers to Arabian horses. The other main use of the word is in referring to the
collection of stories known as The
Arabian Nights. ahhh, once I�ve read that Arab and Arabian both could be used to denote the inhabitants of Arabia or the Arabian horse. hope it helps!
