About this blog.

This blog is created in June 21, 2007. The main objectives are to share, to document and to get feedback on my master degree thesis titled (Al Farāhídi Arabic Spell Checker for web).

This thesis is supervised by Mohd Hairul Nizam a lecturer at Department of Software Engineering University Malaya located in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. The thesis is earned 18 credit hours of total 36 credit hours in this program.

The thesis will go though the complexity of Arabic morphology and define the algorithms to solve issues on Arabic spell checker from technical view. The Arabic morphology is different from other languages and current spell check engine may not suite the uniqueness of this language.

Upon forming of the algorithms, Al Farāhídi Arabic spell checker engine will be written and released to experiment the implementation of the concept and algorithms.

Al Farāhídi -name of project- comes from the famous linguistic scholar named Khalíl ibn Ahmad Al Farāhídi.

This topic attracts me in many ways; first the Arabic language is the language of Quran and it been used in more than 40 countries. The second reason is I love Arabic language since my childhood. I use to write poem, stories, novel and articles. I won the first price in Arabic public speaking; I won second price in best article completion and my articles has been published in some newspaper in Middle East and Malaysia.

This blog is open for all to share, to comment and to exchange the experience in the Arabic spell checker projects.
