Talking about the speakers of Arabic in
the united kingdom, since there are different countries that speakers the
Arabic language, they are mostly spread out in numbers of groups. There has
been a long establishment of communities of Arabic speakers in the yememi in
Birmingham, Newcastle, Cardiff, Moroccans in the north Kensington and Ladbroke
Grove areas of London.
In the oil-boom of the 1970s, large numbers
of Arabs arrived from the Gulf and established businesses of different kinds in
the UK; they also occupied and lived in some of the rich areas of London. Of
late, political confusion in Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine has given
rise to growing numbers of refugees. However there is no given national figures
are available, a survey of London

commonly spoken language in the capital, used by 1.23 per cent of the school
population.

also known as the independent Arabic language newspaper Al Hayat is printed in London
with worldwide morning –of – publication supply. However an important cultural
centre which in Westbourne Grove known
as the KUFA GALLERY is used to promote the Arabic arts both in written, performance and visual form.
