Lughat Al Arab (Arabic: لغة العرب, lit. 'The Language of the Arabs') was a monthly linguistic and history magazine which was published in Baghdad between 1911 and 1931 with a twelve-year interruption.

History and profile

Lughat Al Arab was launched by the Carmelite Father Anastas Al Karmali in Baghdad in 1911.[1][2] It was published in Baghdad on a monthly basis.[1][3] The magazine featured articles on language, history and literature.[2] Al Karmali edited the magazine.[4] The last issue appeared in June 1914.[1] Al Karmali was sent to exile in Anatolia in 1916, and following his return to Baghdad Lughat Al Arab was restarted in 1926.[1] The magazine permanently folded in 1931.[5] In this second period Kazim Al Dujayli and Iraqi linguist and historian Muhammad Bahjat Athari were among the contributors of Lughat Al Arab.[4][6]
