https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabs Arabs (Arabic: عرب‎‎, ‘arab) are a panethnicity of peoples native to the Arab world. They primarily inhabit Western Asia, North Africa, and parts of the Horn of Africa. In modern usage Arab refers to a heterogeneous collection of Arabic-speaking peoples in Western Asia and North Africa. The ties that bind Arabs are linguistic, cultural, political, and ethnic, with Arabized Arabs displaying genetic admixture from the Arabian peninsula as well as indigenous elements. As such, Arab identity is based on one or more of genealogical, linguistic or cultural grounds, although with competing identities often taking a more prominent role, based on considerations including regional, national, clan, kin, sect, and tribe affiliations and relationships. Not all people who could be considered Arab identify as such. If the Arab pan-ethnicity is regarded as a single population, then it constitutes the world's second largest group of people after the Han Chinese. In terms of the way they're using it, they're not talking about "kinship". They're talking about the countries in a general region that are generally majority Arab population, and their relationship to one another. It's like "Western world" or "Eastern world", but much more narrow.
