Arabic linguistic, Forgotten history, The Extinction of the Arabic LanguageAbstract
This study examines the phenomenon of the extinction of languages related to Arabic by highlighting their historical development, contributing factors, and their impact on linguistic and cultural aspects. Through a literature review and in-depth analysis of various written sources, data was systematically collected and analyzed using content analysis methods. The results of the study show that the dominance of Standard Arabic since the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates, accompanied by subsequent political dynamics, triggered a decline in the use of related languages such as Ancient Southern Arabic and Nabataean Aramaic. In addition, the shift of speakers to Standard Arabic, lack of documentation, and socio-political pressures and globalization were the main factors that accelerated the extinction of these languages. As a result, the diverse linguistic varieties and cultural traditions attached to them were lost, which also affected the social identity of the speaker communities. This study emphasizes that language preservation must be carried out through a multidisciplinary approach, including careful documentation and active revitalization, so that this invaluable cultural and linguistic heritage can be protected. The results of this study are expected to provide a deeper understanding and support strategic policies to maintain the sustainability of Arabic languages in the future.
