terminology which was subsequently borrowed by traditional Arab scholars who started to
describe their own language scientifically. This has been rejected by some Muslim scholars who

Arabic language before the dawn of Islam. The research focuses on the linguistic corpus
development in order to give a balanced judgment. |
