Protecting national identity for our country
The article discusses the importance of preserving national identity and linguistic balance in Bahrain, amidst the increasing number of foreign workers, who now make up more than half of the population (53% in 2024), with the Bahraini population falling below half. The article highlights the impact of this demographic shift on the labor market, linguistic interactions, and national culture, noting that English and other foreign languages now dominate the public space. This trend threatens the weakening of the Arabic language and its diminished use in daily life and education. The article recommends diversifying Bahrainization policies, promoting the use of Arabic in media, education, and commercial activities, and requiring foreign companies to employ Bahrainis at a minimum of 50%. These measures aim to preserve national identity and ensure that Arabic continues to be a core component of Bahraini society.
