Classical Arabic in Africa

Apart from Egypt, and the Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt, which is arguably, the first ever full fledg university in the history of civilization and the world of knowledge. Al-Azhar University was founded before Oxford, Cambrige, Yale, Harvard, and many other most presigious universities of the world today. And with the exception of all other majorly Arabic speaking north African and central African countries; classical modern Arabic language is vastly spread throughout sub saharan Africa, though this fact is contrary to the common notion among some Arabs of the Middle East. Perhaps, West Africa is historically more popular, especially from the time of Timbuktu, now in Mali, the acclaimed center of knowledge, commerce, and civilization. This part of Africa is what is known currently from the Ethiopia and Sudan in the East, to Senegal, in the Wstern partof Africa, this area used to be called Ardu Sudan or the Land of the Black in history. Undoutedly, all other parts of Africa have played important role in spreading and learning the language. This is true from Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania, to the remaining part of Africa, all the way to Comoros Island, Muzambique, and South Africa, most especially, the beutiful city of Cape Town. The first copies of translated Bibles were arguably in Arabic language before English copies were made available, and thereafter, the Bible was translated into many Africa languages, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, etc.
