Caliphate

Abd al-Malik implemented the use of Arabic as the official language of administration to strengthen and reorganize the government of the Umayyad caliphate.12

Prior to this reform, government affairs were largely handled by non-Muslim officials using local languages. By mandating Arabic, Abd al-Malik enabled Arab Muslims to more easily control and manage the affairs of the state. This shift was part of a broader program of Arabization that included the creation of an Arabized class of administrators and the introduction of a new Arabic coinage to replace former Byzantine and Sasanian models. These measures were intended to centralize authority and consolidate the power of the Umayyad dynasty across its vast territories.213
