5. Arabic

For starters, Arabic is just like the Chinese language in the sense that it is a macro-language, or a language that consists of many different dialogs. The cause is simply because the Arabic language has 242 million native speakers that are spread worldwide to 60 different countries. Also, because of the spread, Arabic speakers use a range of different forms and varieties.

Moving on, the very first Arabic "loanwords" in English date from the 14th century, such as these rather rare words, alkanet, a type of dye ( year 1343 ), and hardun, an Egyptian agama lizard ( year 1398 ). Other than the rare words, there are the more familiar words, like hashish ( year 1598 ), sheikh ( year 1577 ), and finally, kebab ( year 1698 ).
