Academy of the Arabic Language in Cairo
The Academy of the Arabic Language in Cairo (Arabic: مجمع اللغة العربية بالقاهرة) was a language academy for Arabic created in Cairo, Egypt in 1932 by Fuad I of Egypt.[1][2] It publishes (The Great Dictionary) and (The Intermediary Dictionary), two of the most important dictionaries of the Arabic language.[3]
One of the early tasks of the Academy of the Arabic Language in Cairo was to publish a historical dictionary of Arabic, tracing the changes of meanings and uses of Arabic words over time, though this was not achieved.[1]
