The Arabization project in the Arab world came in an attempt to address one of the effects of the Westernization policy pursued by colonialism. Algeria is one of the countries that has adopted the Arabization policy since gaining independence, and has enacted laws and drawn up plans to make this project a success. The complete Arabization of the judiciary is the most prominent fruit of the process in reality, and if Algeria experienced an inevitable bilingualism between Arabic and French after gaining independence, the Arabization project did not stop. Money was spent and efforts were made to instill life in it, and efforts were made to overcome obstacles and difficulties.
Although this experience did not reach all the goals it set out for, it is an experience that has positive aspects that deserve praise and encouragement. In this research, we ask about the obstacles to linguistic Arabization in Algeria, and its real causes, and we aim to take a clear picture of the role of the Arabic language in advancing Arabization in Algeria or obstructing it through research titled: “Linguistic obstacles to the Arabization project in Algeria”.
