The Academy of the Arabic Language in its journey with heritage

Abstract

Talking about heritage and its tales is an engaging and emotional subject, especially when it involves a venerable institution like the Academy of the Arabic Language, which has been dedicated to nurturing and preserving the Arabic language since 1919. Its most significant role has been to connect the present of the nation with its past by developing Arabic terms for modern civilization's vocabulary and correcting common linguistic errors. The precedence of the Damascus Academy among Arabic language academies in this field is well-known and needs no introduction. Following the establishment of the Arab state in Damascus after the withdrawal of the Turks, it swiftly undertook the task of Arabizing what the nation needed in various fields, accomplishing this mission in the best possible manner.
