Question: Was Abraham born in Irac!? if yes, did he speak arabic!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Abraham(the patriarch from the Bible), was born in the Chaldean City of Ur, Mesopotamia!.

Speculations: Abraham spoke a proto-semitic language, that became Hebrew!. Just like English is coming from Old English (Anglo-Saxon)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's Iraq and Abraham wasn't born there because the country didn't exist then!. There have been many, many changes in nomenclature for different bits of real estate in that part of the world!. Abraham was born to Herbrew parents and that's the language he would have spoken!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Abraham was born somewhere in Mesopotamia but of course Iraq as a country did not yet exist!.

Abraham would have spoken some form of an ancient semitic language!. Modern Arabic is derived from these ancient languages, but he would not have spoken Arabic as we know it today!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it is spelt IRAQ it is possible he did and mostly likely he didn't know Arabic but that doesn't make him a better or worse person!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
