جهود الجغرافيين العرب في صناعة الأطالس اللسانية

Abstract EN

The wide geographical spread of human groups led to the emergence of a noticeable linguistic diversity, although this tongue belongs in fact to a single linguistic origin.

In the face of this multilingualism, whether linguistically or linguistically, it is necessary to establish geographical linguistic boundaries that help to collect regions that share linguistic phenomena The same was done by social linguists; they called this type of study: (geographical linguistics), the purpose of which is to know the changes in the language or dialect and connect it to its environment A number of methods have been devised to study them, most notably the development of linguistic atlases.

The importance of this subject is based on the efforts of Arab geographers in the linguistic atlases industry to highlight the efforts made by ancient Arab geographers to draw the features of the linguistic atlases by identifying the locations of the diversity of languages and dialects in one geographical area, Each other.

Based on the above, our research paper started from the following question: What is meant by Atalas linguistics ?, What are the efforts of the Arab geographers to put these linguistic atlases ?, Was the idea of the development of the linguistic atlas a linguistic research idea based on linguistic bases with geographical or spontaneous Due to geographical limitations of the regions? And what is the importance of these linguistic atlases in the study of languages and dialects? We will follow the descriptive approach to analyze this phenomenon and highlight its importance and role in the field of study of languages and their relationship to each other, and its relationship dialects.
