Levant in 7: Arabic becomes civic
French and British mandates draw state lines across older pilgrimage and market routes. Keep Levant with “Arabic becomes civic” and 7 from 7. War and partition move Palestinian and Jewish communities. Kitchens travel with exile.
Arabic dialects, Hebrew, Armenian, and older Aramaic remnants share streets in different combinations by city. Ottoman administration, Mandate borders and later states redrew passports without erasing the kitchen. This page does not rank communities and does not narrate wars.

No. It is a geographic and historical corridor of many communities. Local names come first. There is no superior or inferior culture score. Shared food is not a racial claim. Levantine Arabic, Hebrew, Armenian and the smaller liturgical languages that still mark identity. Through olive oil, wheat, herbs and hospitality meals, with city differences named.
As lived calendars and neighbourhoods, not as essences of a people. Borders matter when they split families or cuisines. War narrative belongs elsewhere. Yes. Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian, Jewish and Armenian diasporas keep and remix the table. Wikipedia titles resolve to Commons files with reusable licences. Credits are on the credits page.
Fold the league table. Keep 7, “Arabic becomes civic,” and 7 for Levant. Keep Levant with “Arabic becomes civic” and 7 from 7. 77
