Every Eritrean I met in my city or most of them speak arabic. Most Eritreans here are also muslim. I asked some Eritreans why all of them or most of them speak arabic and they said it's because many Eritreans go through Sudan while immigrating and learn arabic there.

Sudan and Eritrea also border each other so that might influence it also. I hear Isaias also mention Sudan, @Shimbiris translate please.
Intresting. All the ones I’ve met in Canada are all Christians. I met one Eritrean who was Muslim tho

Quite a lot of Eritreans speak Arabic. You have the Rashaida (straight up Hejaz Arabs who migrated in the 19th Century) for whom it is their first language as well as the Tigre and Beja folk who use it heavily alongside their mother tongues as a lingua franca. A lot of Tigrinya folk will also speak Arabic - normally those who are Muslim or do intl business/lived in Sudan. My father grew up in Kassala and worked in Saudia so he speaks Arabic as did his father before him (who also worked in Saudia). He taught me Arabic along with Tigrinya. Since I'm Christian and I don't live amongst many Arabs I use it very sparingly but it's pretty easy to maintain since it's not that different from Tigrinya

It's a fact :manny: Granted all the eritreans i know are muslim so that might have something to do with it. But other than english the only language they know is arabic.
What ethnic group? Unless they are Rashaida their parents should be ashamed that they taught them Arabic before their mother tongue. I can understand English if you live in a Western country but Arabic????

I also know an Eritrean who speaks better Arabic than his ethnic language

You people are weird. Purposely wanting to make people a minority in their own country because they aren't Muslim. Did you forget the part where we're told to respect others' faiths?

:gucciwhat:
Eritrean independence movement was started by Muslim ELF they got snaked with the EPLF and TPLF dual and are languishing in Sudan
EPLF has been a disaster for Eritrea
the demographic game shall change the outlook of Eritrea once they return

This guy @seldiboy is clearly an Ethiopian that is larping as Eritrean. Nearly all Eritreans speak Arabic as their first or second language. The country being near Arabia was for centuries subject to continuous Arab migrations.
Most Eritreans don't speak Arabic nevermind as their first language you doofus Stop trying to Arabize us.
