Department of Arabic All B.A. B.Sc. Classes Language Syllabus (2014 2015 onwards) 1
DEPARTMENT OF ARABIC Proficiency in Arabic is a gateway to avail job opportunities in Gulf and Middle East countries. Our college has introduced Arabic under Part I in 1958 itself. Arabic language is one of the Semitic and living languages of the world. It surpasses all other Semitic language in conservatism, copiousness of vocabulary, and possibilities of syntactic and elaborate of verbal forms. Arabic has succeeded in bringing out the potentialities of the Semitic family of speech to a higher development than any of its cog nets. Classical Arabic has always been understood by the highly educated. In case of Modern Arabic Language, despite the existence of regional dialects, the media of mass communication help to develop a standard form of Arabic. Arabic Language is basis of Arab cultural unity. It is the principal cultural character shared by all Arabs and links all Islamic traditions. Besides, it is one of the official languages of U.N.O. and several international agencies. It is the language of Holy Quran, Hadiths and Islamic Sciences. In middle ages, it was the language of science and left its traces in many branches of science. Being a vehicle of cultural and political expression among the people who readily respond to the evocative power it affords, it has gained a worthy place of its own among the living world languages. 2
