Povodi standardiziranja arapskog jezika
Occasions of standardization of Arabic language

Summary/Abstract: The mixing of Arab tribes among themselves and with speakers of other languages during the expansion of Arab-Islamic empire brought about a gap between the classical Arabic, namely, the language of the Qur’an on the one hand, and the spoken Arabic language, as well as a mistaken reading of the Qur’an and understanding of its messages, both on part of those who had just embraced Islam trying to learn Arabic and the original speakers of the language. It was one of the most important motives that prompted Islamic scholars to start thinking about the standardization of the Arabic language. Therefore, in order to protect the language of the Qur’an from the mistaken reading and to enable Muslims to ‘’socialise’’ with the Qu’ran in its original form, there was a need to initiate linguistic disciplines whose role was to clearly distinguish between correct and incorrect forms in the language.
