The development of the status of Literary Arabic as a national language was integral to, and a direct result of, the political development of the Arab world. Side by side with the emancipation of the Arab world from foreign rule and its advance toward independence - a process led mainly by Egypt - the Arabic language underwent a gradual process of development toward the attainment of a new status as a national language. The climax of the political process - Egypt's complete liberation from British rule and the achievement of independence during Gamal Abd al-Nasser's period - marked the climax of the linguistic process as well. Egypt, in its efforts to achieve national unity during the 1950s and 1960s, positioned Literary Arabic at the core of its educational system and utilized it as the cornerstone in the development of the image of the young generation in the Arab world
