If we enter a common Romanian school and talk to teenagers, we'll find out that most of them speak English, some pupils have some French knowledge, even fewer of them know a few words in German or Spanish.
Less than two decades ago, everyone in Romania used to speak Russian, nowadays only a few people have kept alive their interest in this language, drawing Russian to be considered "an almost exotic language".
Another language of which Romanian people have only a few abstract notions is Arabic. What is hidden beyond bellydancers and camels?
Today, Arabic language has assumed the status of an international language with a number of native speakers between 186 and 422 millions and as many as 246 millions non-native speakers in the four corners of the world. It is also known as "the language of Islam" and has served for centuries as the sacred, literary, and official language of Middle East countries. Moreover, how Philip k. Hitti remarked "For many centuries in the Middle Ages it was the language of learning and culture and progressive thought throughout the civilised world".
The European countries are "indebted" to Arabic for part of their vocabulary, idiom and diction. As the Oxford English Dictionary reveals the fact that a vast number of English words are of Arabic origin. And we shoudn't forget that its alphabet has been adopted by Persian, Pushtu, Urdu, Sindhi, Turkish, Malay and several other Oriental languages.
I, for instance, am one of the Romanian students fascinated by Arabic, a language which contains the basics of many philosophical and mathematical systems ( the numbers we use, the word "algebra" itself derive from Arabic), the language of the Quran, but also a never ceasing to exist source of literature.
Only a few people know that Arabic literature had a great influence on Shakespeare's plays and that Dante Aligheri's famous "Divine Comedy", considered the greatest epic of Italian literature, derived many features of and episodes from Arabic works, an Islamic eschatology: the "Hadith" and the "Kitab al-Miraj".
Some of the greatest masterpiece are "Layla and Majnun", a tragic love story like the later "Romeo and Juliet", and the famous arabic fiction "One thousand and One Nights ( Arabian Nights )".
An attempt at promoting Arabic culture and language was made by the students of the Arabic department from the University of Bucharest, by launching the project called "Cultural Arabic Horyzons", a website containing information about Arabic personalities, cuisine, culture and civilisation, which can be accessed at http://www.e-scoala.ro/arabic/
