Evidence

The deeply felt sentiments of injustice, frustration and animosity that the Arabic-speaking soldiers and their junior officers had towards the Turkish-speaking military elite was a powerful ingredient in forging the rising national consciousness and was made even more potent by being echoed in the civilian society at large. For the ethno-linguistic “division of labor” that characterized the Pasha’s army was mirrored by a similar one in the civilian administration where the ruling elite remained “Turkish” and where “Arabs” were prevented from being promoted to higher posts. — Khaled Fahmy, All the Pasha_s Men_ Mehmed Ali, his…, 1693
