Meeting Description: 

The international conference ''Le lingue islamiche'' will take place July 2-3,
2019 at Roma Tre University. The event is co-organized by the Department of
Foreign Languages, Literatures and Cultures - Roma Tre University, the
Department of Asian, African and Mediterranean Studies - University of Naples
''L'Orientale'', and the Seminar für Semitistik und Arabistik - Freie
Universität Berlin. The conference topics are inspired by Bausani's ideas on
Islamic languages as presented in his work ''Le lingue islamiche: interazioni
e acculturazioni'' (in Bausani A., Scarcia Amoretti B., (eds.), Il mondo
islamico tra interazione e acculturazione, Roma, Istituto di Studi Islamici,
1981, pp. 3-19). In this paper, Bausani presents the category of ''Islamic
languages'', defined as the functional system(s) that arose in a number of
Islamicate societies through simultaneous -often specialized- use of
genetically distinct languages by the same speakers and authors.

In Bausani's own words: ''a typological system to which the concept of
'Islamic languages' can meaningfully be applied is based on cultural
superstrata or ethnolinguistic substrata, where cultural, rather than
linguistic, considerations hold. [...] The concept of Islamic languages is
close (although by no means identical) to what justify talking about 'Balkanic
languages' notwithstanding the diverse genealogy of languages in the Balkan
area. The issue of the importance of a cultivated linguistic superstratum, and
therefore of the non-ethnic unity of all Islamic languages [...] is doubtless
present, at least potentially, in the conscience of Muslim peoples.''
