Recommendation to establish a federal law to protect the Arabic language

 
Page Content




The Federal National Council, at its 3rd meeting held on Tuesday, November 25th, at the headquarters of the Council in Abu Dhabi, under the chairmanship of Mohammed Ahmed Al Murr, Chairman of the Council, in the presence of Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture, Youth, and Community Development, and Dr. Anwar Mohammed Qarqash, Minister of State for Federal National Council Affairs, recommended the issuing of a federal law to protect the Arabic language and strengthen its position by requiring all federal, local and private institutions to use it in speech and writing.

His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan confirmed that the State’s policy in promoting the status of the Arabic language is guided by the directives of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan to work very hard to maintain the status of the Arabic language and its main and most prestigious position in the country, referring to the initiatives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister, Ruler of Dubai in supporting the Arabic language and allocating an international award, and to the great care of His Highness Sheikh General Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces , and his constant directives to pay attention to the Arabic language.

His Excellency explained that there is a number of challenges facing the Arabic language, most notably, the alienation of the Arabic language in schools, universities, work, and the media, and the upbringing of new generations on foreign languages without the awareness of the importance of the Arabic language in life, not using it enough in the areas of modern sciences, translation, and publishing, the chaos in the names of shops, in clothing, and social media platforms, the absence of studies and research, the urgent need for teachers who can deal with the Arabic language and means of teaching it, the lack of a clear framework for identifying the different social responsibilities to support the Arabic language status in all walks of life, the lack of a clear framework for the positive and constructive cooperation with the Arab and international institutions and agencies concerned with the status of the Arabic language and with the Arabic language academies, and the absence of a general climate that is keen on learning from the experiences of other languages.

His Excellency suggested to work on a number of axes in order to address these challenges, including communication with the education councils and media, allocating awards, conducting studies and research, the organization of language and study tests, and the expansion of the translation and publication activities, pointing out that the Ministerial Council for Services approved the establishment of the UAE Center for Arabic language. This Center works to achieve the desired status as a house of globally reputed expertise that coordinates with all stakeholders to develop the Arabic language teaching environment, conduct research, organize conferences, and pay attention to the translation and publication programs and the use of appropriate technology programs, in order to protect the Arabic language and confirm its position in the nation.
