Not sure why this is being downvoted - a quick Google search gives me numbers ranging from 250-450 million, and 350 million sits comfortably within that range.

It's possible that the article refers to the number of readers of Arabic script in any language, which I imagine would be a bigger number.
- cyborgx7 4y ago> Not sure why this is being downvoted Because it's comparing the wrong numbers. The article specifies what the 2 million refers to: "Here's a 18 minute video of I talk I gave at XOXO in 2015 that'll teach you more than enough Arabic to not embarrass yourself in front of everyone who can read the Arabic alphabet to some degree. That's about 2 billion people, or 28% of the human population, and they will absolutely notice that you don't know what you're doing and laugh at you in languages you cannot even read."
