Prof. Dr. Nafi‘ ‘Alwān Bahlūl Ṣāliḥ

I am a faculty member in the Department of Arabic Language, specializing in the linguistic levels of the Arabic language—phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic. My academic focus includes examining the specific and general linguistic relationships between Arabic and other languages, as well as highlighting the unique features and distinguishing characteristics of Arabic as the language of the Holy Qur’an.
