Why we Egyptians do not speak Arabic

Submitted by Ahmed Egyptian (Canada), May 24, 2010 at 11:22

The reason is obvious, we had never spoke Arabic in our whole history and Arabic never been our language. Egyptian Arabic have borrowed a lot of words from arabic like English borrowed a lot of words from french. the real Egyptian language were actually afro-asitic language like arabic, hebrew, and berber which means all these languages were close in the first place which made it easy for Egyptian to get and borrow arabic words. And let us not forget that Arabs themselves are half Egyptian because Hajar the wife of abraham was Egyptian.
