SLC Secretary General

on World Arabic Language Day 2024

December 18,2024 – Today, we commemorate World Arabic Language Day as a tribute to the

profound cultural and intellectual legacy of the Arabic language — one of the world’s oldest, most
vibrant, and authentic languages. This day offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the richness

and expressive depth of Arabic while highlighting its enduring relevance in fostering

communication and cultural exchange. It is a moment of renewed pride in the Arabic language,
which symbolises our history, identity, and deep-rooted heritage.

The Arabic language embodies a rich civilisation and diverse cultural heritage, encompassing

thought, literature, and the arts. It serves as a timeless medium for cultural dialogue and
exchange, reflecting the essence of human expression and innovation. On this significant day, we

are reminded of our collective responsibility as Arabic speakers and enthusiasts to celebrate,
preserve, and elevate Arabic as an integral part of our global cultural legacy.

We, at the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC), recognise the

importance of ensuring the clarity and integrity of Arabic in drafting precise legislation. We are
committed to promoting awareness of the language’s significance, encouraging its study and

teaching, and showcasing its aesthetic and cultural richness.
