Detailed explanation-1: -Spread into the western regions of the Silk Roads, Arabic is one of the languages that was diffused as Arab merchants and scholars travelling along the Silk Roads helped promote the diffusion of their language to various regions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary way in which Islam helped to spread Arabic culture was to make Arabic the everyday language of the people in the lands to which it spread. Arabic was once a relatively obscure language spoken on the Arabian peninsula, but after the 7th century, it spread all over the Middle East and North Africa.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arab conquests, starting in that century, spread the language across North Africa and West Asia, and Arab traders introduced it from India to China. Arabic today can be found in regional dialects as well as Modern Standard Arabic, which is based on Fos ha, or Classical Arabic.
Detailed explanation-4: -The influence of Arabic has been profound in many other countries whose cultures have been influenced by Islam. Arabic was a major source of vocabulary for various languages. This process reached its zenith between the 10th and 14th centuries, widely considered to be the high point of Arab culture.
