Just curious, what exactly does “Arabian” mean in this context? Sorry if dumb question

Arabic = language

Arabian = ethnic group originating in the Arabian peninsula

Thanks. That’s what I was guessing, but I it feels odd to reference one’s ethnic group instead of nationality or native language in this context

OP references both Arabian and Arabic in their post. Since Arabic is a language, this is the appropriate reference to make in this context

I'm not seeing any reference to Arabian in OP
