Arabization and Arabized Between The Ancients and Modernists

Abstract

This research deals with the problem of translation to Arabic, which is one of the mostly discussed problems among people concerned with Arabic translation of other languages today. The reader will find in this research several Arabic words presently used in Arab societies, which have their origin in foreign languages. Such words are examples of the historical and linguistic flexibility of the Arabic language. Names of persons, places and cities e.g Ismail, Ibrahim, Samarqand are excluded from this paper because they are generally disputable among nation.
