Short description:
In this article, Eduard Glaser (1855-1908) discusses how the Arabic language penetrated the Arabian Peninsula from the north - a process that he believes is not yet complete today.
Glaser introduces his article on the Arabic language by stating that 'the Arabic language, one of the oldest branches of the Semitic language family, is essentially nothing other than the dialect of Quraiš' and that 'this dialect was spoken from time immemorial in the Ḥiǧāz, from where it spread with Islam first over the whole of Arabia and later also over a large part of Africa.'
On the basis of the Liḥyānite Inscriptions discovered by Julius Euting (1839-1913), Eduard Glaser concludes that 'Arabic must have become the vernacular language of the Ḥiǧāz after Liḥyanitic was replaced, i.e. not long before Muḥammad. And since Arabic is undoubtedly an ancient Semitic language, it was certainly spoken centuries earlier, albeit someplace quite different.' (p. 381)
