He doesn't look middle eastern at all, he looks like a black guy with a little straighter hair (curly and not coily.) Most of us Maghrebins aren't Arab, we're Berber/Amazighen. I even took a DNA test, I'm only 6% Arab. Keep in mind Tunisia is the most Arab of the Maghreb countries (well Libya is if you include it,) so imagine Morocco. We're only culturally Arab, and even there it's different. Just because a lot of us looks like Arabs it does not mean we are Arabs - a lot of Spaniards, Portuguese and Italians could easily pass for Arabs.

      @@ritzzbitzz however, remember that we are almost the only country that could take control of which language can affect us! the history tells us that we never liked Romans -for example- that's why we never spoke latin, but we liked greek poeple and Coptic was spoken alongside greek until the time before islam. and nobody complained bcuz the choice of language depended on the religion and greek mostly belonged to a different church. After islam we CHOSE to change our language at first. I mean it's similar idea to Aramiac in the Levant, when levantine people changed it into Syriac as they were identifying themselves as "Christians" and they believed that the people who still speaking Aramiac at this time were disbelievers. After the time of islam the Egyptian Muslims convert to islam and also to Arabic speakers because it was helpful to understand their new religion which they were proud of. Remember that we are using now the language of the English colonizer too😂 it's very hard now to revive Coptic in everyday street language. It's still sacred in the Egyptian coptic Church but it's still dead. if you really want to revive it I recommend you to read about how Israeli Jews revived Hebrew. This is the only linguistically successful method to revive a dead language.

    When Japanese don't have a word or don't know one they usually take it from a romanized version of english. Because the fast majority of characters are two two letters by English language conventions {Yu being a single letter, shi being a single letter} a lot of romanized words often have an "Engrish" sound. For example dreadlocks could be pronounced doredorokusu.

I know it's technically only a translation of Ice cream, but I cannot bring myself to say "glace"! Btw, the Egyptian girl has a very beautiful face!
