Arabic language research centres

Bodies that do research on the Arabic language and its sciences: language academies, major dictionary projects, research centres and university units, research chairs, Arabic computational-linguistics labs, manuscript and critical-edition centres, and Arabization and terminology bodies — in the Arab world and beyond.

This directory is for research on Arabic. Programmes that teach Arabic to non-native speakers have their own: the Arabic programmes directory
