World Arabic Language Day

What makes this occasion different to design for?
The language is both the subject and the tool. On any other day the script carries the message; here it is the message, which is why the script you choose matters more than the layout around it.

What can you design?

  • Posts and stories for World Arabic Language Day

  • Leaflets and assembly boards for school activities

  • Wall pieces on the merits of the Arabic language

  • Designs built around a verse of poetry or a saying

  • Official posts carrying a school or organisation logo

Which scripts are available?
Naskh, Thuluth, Ruqah, Diwani and Farsi, which are the substance of any design celebrating Arabic. Set your line in whichever suits it and export at high quality.

الأسئلة الشائعة

When is World Arabic Language Day and why that date?
The eighteenth of December each year, the date the UN General Assembly resolved in 1973 to adopt Arabic as an official and working language of the organisation. UNESCO designated it an international day in 2012. Andalusi has templates for the occasion in Arabic and English.
Does World Arabic Language Day have a fixed theme?
No. UNESCO picks a different theme each year reflecting an issue tied to the Arabic language. So do not reuse last year's design with its theme, and check the current year's theme before publishing. Andalusi lets you keep one visual identity and change the wording each year.
What designs do schools need for World Arabic Language Day?
A morning assembly board, an event poster with its schedule, cards for a spelling or poetry contest, participation certificates, a corridor banner, and quotation cards about the language for the walls. Activities usually run across a week rather than a single day, so prepare the week's content. Andalusi builds the whole set on one identity.
Which fonts suit Arabic language designs?
Thuluth and Diwani suit celebratory headlines for their heritage character, while Naskh or a clear contemporary face suits long text, since decorative scripts tire the reader. Do not mix more than two fonts in one design. Andalusi's library carries the full Arabic font families.
