Muslim's general opInIOn has always been that the Quran is sent down in Quraysh language. Language of all pre-Islamic poems and sermons has also been Quraysh language.

Now, our researches have indicated that the theory of Quranic language being of Quraysh is not confirmed by a good number of scholars as well as certain evidence. Here, we narrate a relatively comprehensive list of traditions and then deal with their comparison, survey, and criticism.
