(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) 20 February 2025 - “International Mother Language Day
offers a valuable opportunity to highlight the crucial role that mother languages play in
shaping cultural identity, preserving collective memory, and safeguarding heritage, while also
highlighting the achievements and contributions of civilisations.

As our mother language, Arabic holds profound significance in the United Arab Emirates,
reflecting our national identity and cultural heritage while embodying a deep sense of loyalty
to the legacy of our forefathers. The UAE remains steadfast in its commitment to promoting
the use of Arabic through various initiatives aimed at raising awareness of its importance,
celebrating Arabic literature, and encouraging research and innovation related to our mother
language.

At the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC), we recognise the
importance of preserving our mother language as the cornerstone of our cultural and social
identity. We are dedicated to implementing initiatives that ensure the precise and proper use
of Arabic, showcasing its richness and profound civilisational significance. On International
Mother Language Day 2025, we express our deep pride in our language and reaffirm our
commitment to promoting its use within our workplace and legislative framework. The
eloquence and unique capacity of Arabic to articulate legislative intent and convey complex
legal concepts with precision and accuracy make it an indispensable tool in our legal and
legislative system.”
