| Abstract | Although 5% of the world population speak Arabic as a native language, the research on Arabic is not up to its number of speakers. However, more research has been don on Arabic in the last decade due to many factors including the widespread of communication and information technology applications. Two of the eminent research centres in the Arab World which contributed markedly on research related to Arabic are King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) and University of Balamand (UOB). This paper is to highlight the efforts of these two institutions on enriching the Arabic language resources including that on natural language processing, speech processing and character recognition. |
