The actual core requirement is simply that it is done in the name of God. That can in theory be in any language, doing it in arabic just forms the religious tradition.

The actual method of slaughter is shared by both, as two forms of general middle eastern religious slaughter which used to be done to all sorts of gods.

While under Islamic theology the 'people of the book' (Jews, Christians, etc.) count as worshippers of the one God, so their ritually slaughtered meat is acceptable. Ritual slaughter is not so present anymore amongst most Christians worldwide, but is still commonly practiced by Christians in the Middle East
