5) English is growing in Lebanon but French is very stable. There are some places in Lebanon where you would hear more French than Arabic. French has a history of being spoken in Lebanon since more than 1000 years (beginning with Normand crusaders) and was introduced to the local population in the 17th century by missionaries, and many Lebanese are very attached to it.

The Lebanese and French governments also have great relations, and there are no plans to "erase" the French language in Lebanon.
