Abstract
The impact of globalization processes on language is an emergent field in sociolinguistics. This chapter gives an in-depth look at this in Asia, by paying particular attention to the rise of Arabic language and cultural contexts of Asia, specifically the Islamic civilizations that give the processes of globalization and language a unique dimension.
