The role of the Union of Arab Linguistic Societies in updating collective work

Abstract

The Arab Linguistic Societies Union was established in 1391 AH (1971 CE) for specific, precise purposes. The constitution of the Union outlines these objectives, which include organizing communication between Arab linguistic societies and coordinating their efforts in matters related to the Arabic language and its scholarly heritage. Additionally, the Union works on unifying Arabic scientific, technical, and cultural terminology and disseminating it.

Article two emphasizes the crucial importance of unifying terminology, a task regarded by the Union's founders as unparalleled in significance compared to any other endeavor of its kind. They deemed unification and dissemination as second only to the Union's primary objectives.

At that time, the Union comprised three societies: Egyptian, Syrian, and Iraqi, the first founding societies. We take pride in their tremendous efforts in serving the Arabic language. The Amman Society joined later, and other societies emerged in various countries.
