The Syrian Future Movement and the Arabic Language
The Syrian Future Movement considers the Arabic language as both an individual and a communal Syrian identity, a gateway to our knowledge due to geography, and a key tool in building our Syrian community. It is the thread that connects Syria to its historical and civilizational depth, whether we like it or not.
The Syrian Future Movement believes in the necessity of balancing the preservation of linguistic and cultural heritage with the need to adapt to ongoing social and cultural changes.
The Syrian Future Movement views Arabic as a moral and contemporary civilizational link with its speakers worldwide, a pillar of brotherhood for Arab countries, and an important meeting point as the language of the Quran with Islamic countries.
The Syrian Future Movement considers Arabic one of the reflections of cultural beliefs and ideologies in Syria, contributing to the natural and social cultural representation of the Syrian community.
The Syrian Future Movement considers the spoken Syrian dialects, and the languages influenced by and derived from them, as forms of cultural evolution in Syria.
The Syrian Future Movement seeks to enhance the status of the Arabic language in official circles, education, and media.
The Syrian Future Movement regards Arabic as the primary language in Syria without fanaticism or racism. This does not mean excluding other languages present, which are considered a significant cultural wealth and a distinct Syrian hallmark.
The Syrian Future Movement does not believe in the superiority of the Arabic language over other languages in Syria; it views it merely as a characteristic of Syrian society as a whole.
The Syrian Future Movement supports all non-Arabic Syrian languages and strives to empower them in official domains, education, and media, commensurate with their social size and geographical spread.
The Syrian Future Movement emphasizes the importance of foreign languages, especially English as the language of modern science, and believes that languages do not fight each other but support and enhance their linguistic development.
The Syrian Future Movement considers colloquial dialects an extension of Classical Arabic and believes in their importance in creating the unique social, geographical, and cultural identity of the Syrian people.
