This is alist of Arabic language academies. Some are officially named "Academy of the Arabic Language", "Arabic Language Academy", or something else.

Arabic Linguistic Academies are scientific research institutions concerned with terminology, Arabization, and the language in all fields of human knowledge. Some researchers trace the origins of linguistic academies back to the scientific institutions of the ancient East, and some even attempt to trace their roots to the beginning of human history. Others have referred to the councils ofSocrates andPlato, known as the Academy, named after the Greek mythical hero who was considered the protector ofAthens. These ancient councils and scientific institutions reflect the concern that peoples have had throughout history for transferring knowledge, sciences, and civilizations into their languages in order to achieve renaissance, progress, and encourage creativity and authorship.

Perhaps the most accurate way to view linguistic academies is through the linguistic and intellectual stages that people go through during their renaissance, and the interaction between their language and the languages of other nations, especially with the intellectual progress in sciences, literature, and arts. This is what happened for the Arabs after they left their homeland to spread the Islamic call. New circumstances arose for theArabic language, and it had to face multiple challenges from an early period, whether related to Arabizing state institutions, transferring sciences and knowledge, or even teaching the Arabic language itself. The earliest attempts to establish institutions that faced these new requirements can be considered the first nucleus of our linguistic academies. The oldest of these institutions in our history is the Translation Committee established by the Umayyad PrinceKhalid ibn Yazid ibn Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan (d. 85 AH) inDamascus to translate chemical books and others fromGreek to Arabic. This idea became popular in later Islamic periods, with caliphs giving translation and transfer great attention, such as CaliphAl-Mansur andHarun al-Rashid, who laid the foundations ofBayt al-Hikma, an institution that reached its peak during the reign ofAl-Ma'mun.
