Arabic literacy was more often than not pursued and attained at French-Catholic missionary institutions (with one marked Anglophone-Presbyterian exception), where although the Arabic language was vigorously cultivated, French remained the primary language of instruction” (F. Salameh, “Language, Memory, and Identity in the Middle East. The Case for Lebanon”, 2010, p. 210).
