Summary: The Arabic language presents a number of challenges to researchers and developers of language technologies. Arabic is both morphologically rich and highly ambiguous; and it has a number of dialects that vary widely amongst themselves and with Standard Arabic. The dialects have no official spelling standards, and spelling and grammar errors are common in unedited Standard Arabic. In this talk we present some of these challenges in detail and cover some of the ongoing efforts to address them with creative language technologies.
