== this is full of shit == 

 i don't know how such a wrong informations and such an ignorance can be on wikipedia ? too much of using arabization without having any idea about the history of Arabs ? Arabs were in levant from long time ago not only in the desert of Syria as you ignorantly written ? the commander of Byzantine army in the war against Muslims were an Arab and that shows that Arabs have been there long time ago and there are majority , despite the Nabataeans  and many the other families, and yeah by the language (Aramaic , Arabic and other semitic languages) it were almost the same , and the whole semitic people were almost speaking the same language , they spoke Aramaic , they spoke old arabic and then they turn to Arabic , Semitic were talking each other language and choosing the most developed language during the history  , So , do some research about that
