King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language Launches Digital Toolkit

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language released its digital toolkit under the theme "Proud of it”, as part of its preparations to celebrate World Arabic Language Day, observed annually on December 18.

The move aims to enrich the celebration of Arabic language in public and private sectors, as well as among individuals, and reflect the support the Kingdom and its wise leadership to the Arabic language, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday.

This initiative coincides with the World Arabic Language Day, declared by the United Nations General Assembly, which designated Arabic as one of the official working languages of the UN.

The day seeks to raise awareness about the history, culture, and development of the Arabic language through various activities and events.

The academy’s digital toolkit offers linguistic information, supportive ideas, and resources about the Arabic language. It aims to honor the language, elevate its status, support institutions and empower individuals working in the field of Arabic language ahead of World Arabic Language Day.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said this year’s celebration will be held under the theme “Arabic Language and AI – Advancing Innovation While Preserving Cultural Heritage”.
