Latin-ing Lebanese

Latin-ing Lebanese

Posted on May 18th, 2009 Jad Aoun 3 comments

The Lebanese Language Institute has decided to latinize “Lebanese” Arabic:

The Lebanese Language Institute (LLI) is a non-profit organization that is committed to provide the resources and the means to teach the “Modern Lebanese Language” worldwide.

The method of modernization involves going the way of Turkish: Lebanese Latin Letters.
The organization has also developed a Lebanese Keyboard.

Will technology push Lebanon from this

to this (Libnen)?

    Could there be a connection between the Lebanese Language Institute and the Guardians of the Cedars? I haven’t come across anything yet.
    
    I was just thinking, would this “new” language be unconstitutional?

  Actually, this is an independent research institute.
