teaching and
learning can
profit from the
new advances in
Information and
Communication
Technology (ICT).

aide Arabic
Speakers
with disabilities
in their
education
and work.
What
role ICT
can play to

Challenges
There are several characteristics that make Arabic distinctive and present many challenges for its digital processing, such as :
- Arabic is a cursive language while reading and writing are performed from right to left.
- The language consists of 28 characters which can vary depending on the position of the letter (beginning, middle, and end).
- The use of diacritics, which are placed above or below letters, give the letter different pronunciation and the word and sentences different meanings.
- The use of dots on the letters so that letters are the same but distinguished by the position and number of dots on the letter
Themes
- Arabic speech recognition
- Arabic characters recognition
- Arabic sign language recognition
- Arabic text Summarization
- Information retrieval and extraction
- Tools for Arabic learning.
- Ongoing projects on developing effective interactive systems for Arabic speakers.

About
Arabic is spoken in 25 countries and it is estimated that there are about 313 million Arabic speakers in the whole world, making it the fifth most-spoken language globally and the fourth most used language on the Internet. It is the language of the holy Qur’an, which is the holy book of more than 1.8 billion Muslims living all over the world.
In this regard, ICESCO, through two of its Science and Technology Sector, proposes a project related to the application of emerging technologies in NLP for Arabic language processing and learning, in particular the utilization of new innovations in Artificial Intelligent technologies for Arabic Natural Language Processing (ANLP).
