Ajam of Bahrain are an ethnic group in Bahrain composed of Shia Bahraini citizens of non-Arab Iranian national background (mainly Persian and Lurs). There is also a substantial community of Sunni citizens of Persian heritage or descent, although they are not identified as Ajam.〔(Dialect, Culture, and Society in Eastern Arabia: Glossary ). Clive Holes. 2001. Page 135. ISBN 90-04-10763-0〕 The Ajam are mostly bilingual in Persian and Arabic. ==History== Persian immigration into Bahrain has been constant for hundreds of years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dialect, Culture, and Society in Eastern Arabia: Glossary )〕 There has always been a flow of Persian-speaking Shi'a into Bahrain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dialect, Culture, and Society in Eastern Arabia: Glossary )〕 In 1910, the Persian community funded and opened a private school, Al-Ittihad school, that taught Persian amongst other subjects. Nasser Hussain says that many Iranians fled their native country in the early 20th century due to a law king Reza Shah issued which banned women from wearing the hijab, or because they feared for their lives after fighting the English, or to find jobs. They were coming to Bahrain from Bushere. This was between 1920 to 1940. It takes 18 hours to arrive at Bahrain by boat from Bushere.〔http://www.alwaqt.com/art.php?aid=184648〕 In the Manama Souq, many Persians were clustered in the neighborhood of Mushbir. However they resettled in other areas with the development of new towns and expansion of villages during the era of late Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa. Today, a significant amount of them are based in Muharraq's Shia enclaves and Bahrain Island's modernized Shia towns. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ajam of Bahrain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
