Lebanon's prosperous culture has been created by many cultural traditions, including the Greek, Roman, Phoenician, Islamic Crusader, Ottoman Turkish, French, and recently American. The resulting culture is distinctively Lebanese, an amalgamation of east and west, past and present.
Dancing and folk music have a long tradition and are pervasive. Influential Lebanese writers emerged in the early 20th century and greatly influenced the proliferation of Arabic language.
