Riyadh: The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language (KSGAAL) launched "Language Policies Around the World" project during its participation in the Human Capability Initiative (HCI) Conference 2025. The project is a specialized research initiative undertaken by KSGAAL as part of its strategy to enhance its authority in linguistic matters and keep pace with international developments in contemporary language policy and planning.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the project aims to build a comprehensive database of language policies in several non-Arabic-speaking countries and analyze them scientifically, both quantitatively and qualitatively. This involves analyzing official documents and sources to assess their impact on the linguistic and societal reality.
The project provides detailed reports on the status of language policy in 10 countries representing diverse experiences from 5 continents, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, the Russian Federation, India, Indonesia, Argentina, South Africa, and Tanzania.
