No Arab country is a developed country, but why has it become one of the working languages of the United Nations?

At present, the United Nations has six working languages, namely Chinese, English, French, Russian, Arabic and Spanish. It is not surprising that Arabic has become the working language of the United Nations. As the common language of Arab countries, Arabic is widely used. Although no country in the Arab world is a developed country, its world influence is enormous.

The language that can be used in all meetings, official documents, relevant records and business of the United Nations is called the working language of the United Nations. At present, the United Nations has six working languages, all of which are used by the five permanent members. As the working language of the United Nations, it shows that this language has a very high influence and universality in the world.

English is the common language of the five permanent members of Britain and the United States, and is widely used in many Commonwealth members and former colonial countries. English is also the most widely used language in the world today. It is regarded as a standard international language, and its world influence exceeds all the languages in the world.

Chinese is the common language in China and the most populous language in the world. With the early immigrants from China, Chinese has spread all over the world and is now very influential in Southeast Asia. In the United States, the number of Chinese speakers ranks first.

French is not only the common language of France, but also widely used in Europe, Asia, Africa and America with the spread of foreign colonization of France in the past.

As the largest country in Eastern Europe, Russian is widely used. With the establishment of the Soviet Union, many countries in the former Soviet Union also used Russian. Russian has a wide influence in Northeast Asia and Eastern Europe.

Besides Chinese, English, French and Russian, which are the languages used by the five permanent members of the United Nations, Spanish and Arabic have also been added to the working languages of the United Nations.

Spanish has been the working language of the United Nations for a long time. It has been the working language since the League of Nations, the predecessor of the United Nations, and it has been used ever since. Spanish became the working language of the United Nations mainly because of 15 and16th century. At that time, Spain expanded everywhere with its strong national strength, and colonies spread all over the world. In addition to Spain, the main user country, many countries in the Americas use Spanish as the official language, which shows that Spanish has a high international influence and popularity.

Arabic became the working language of the United Nations at the latest, 1973. In view of Arab influence in the Middle East and the whole Arab world, it was officially recognized as the working language of the United Nations.

There are many reasons why Arabic can become the working language of the United Nations.

First of all, many countries and nationalities use Arabic. Arabic is mainly used in West Asia and North Africa, and as many as 18 countries are called Arab countries. The number of people who speak Arabic as their mother tongue exceeds 260 million, and the number of people who use Arabic globally reaches 440 million, accounting for 6% of the world population.

Secondly, 1973 Arabic was recognized as the working language of the United Nations. At that time, the most turbulent and chaotic order in the international community was the Middle East. From 1948 to 1982 to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that displaced countless people, these five Middle East wars almost turned the Middle East into a powder keg where World War III could break out at any time. It can be said that the Middle East issue has never stopped since the founding of the United Nations. At the United Nations General Assembly, the Middle East war has always been the focus. If the United Nations wants to achieve international solidarity, it must solve various regional disputes in the Arab world. In order to carry out our work better, it is reasonable to use Arabic as the working language of the United Nations.

Finally, Arabic has a great influence. From West Asia to North Africa, it has always been the region with the strongest Islamic roots. Islam, as one of the three major religions in the world, originated in West Asia. Every year, countless worshippers go to Mecca, Medina and other Islamic holy cities. Arabic is the common language of Muslims. From the perspective of religious influence, the population who believe in Islam exceeds 654.38+0 billion. With the spread of Islamists around the world, Arabic will spread more widely in the future.
