Arabist

Ingenuously labeled, Arabist, refers to a person who specializes in or mastered the Arabic language, culture, and literature. Although it has roots back to medieval Spain, currently, and more often, it is used by ambassadors and foreign service officers from the US. Although it may not be a piece of knowledge that you sit back and digress or really incorporate it into existing knowledge of the middle east in the essence of "the now', rather Arabists are to credited with an amassment of the cultural translation we have.
