Thoughts on Language in Lebanon:

• Arabic is the official language of Lebanon.
• Prior to 1938, French was also an official language.
• The constitution was amended to remove French as an official language, however it still says a law will determine the cases in which French is to be used.
• Many Lebanese (what percentage?, , etc...) are bilingual or trilingual, and learn French and/or English in school, in addition to Arabic.
• About 4% of Lebanon's population is Armenian. Many Armenians have kept their language, and use it to communicate amongst each other.
• Syriac?
• Different Lebanese dialects of Arabic
• French and English loanwords
