I must say that I am not entirely convinced with ´I am arabic´. You might be using it as a native speaker but I never heard of ´I am arabic´ but ´I am an arab´.
Dictionaries giving ´the inhabitants of Ireland and their descendants elsewhere´ for irish for example. And also turkish as ´Of or relating to Turkey or its peoples, languages, or cultures´ (some of them).
Maybe it is just easy and simpler to use in daily spoken English.
Arabic is the language, it is:
I am an Arab
I am Arabian
I am an Arab
He is an Arab
He is Arabian
He speaks Arabic
I speak Arabic
I am Turkish
I am a Turk
He is a Turk
He is Turkish
I speak Turkish
He speaks Turkish
btw I have traced much of my family back to the late 18th/early 19th Centuary except for my Great Grandfather who was a Turkish Sailor and moved on leaving my Great Grandmother pregnant with my grandmother. He most probably did not know this of course, therefore he was an early 20th Centuary Dudu, very likely the first and most original.

you`re quite wrong. the first Turkish dudu was Baltali Mehmet Pasa which means Mehmet Pasa with an axe!
The story goes, Catherine surprised the Axe Man by visiting him in his tent one evening. Once she got rid of her headdress, Mehmet Pasha became aware of being in the presence of royalty, and was awestruck. She offered diamonds, and then whispered, "Along with the diamonds, I´m yours."

There are many sources saying that baltaci-catherina never met in reality..
But we Turks like this version anyway
It makes us feel good..
