摘要：Arabic language is the most spoken languages in the Semitic languages group, and one of the mostcommon languages in the world spoken by more than 422 million. It is also of paramount importance toMuslims, it is a sacred language of the Islamic Holly Book (Quran) and prayer (and other acts of worship)in Islam is performed only by mastering some of Arabic words. Arabic is also a major ritual language of anumber of Christian churches in the Arab world and it is also used in writing several intellectual andreligious Jewish books in the Middle Ages. Despite this, there is no semantic Arabic lexicon whichresearchers can depend on. In this paper we introduce Azhary as a lexical ontology for the Arabiclanguage. It groups Arabic words into sets of synonyms called synsets, and records a number ofrelationships between words such as synonym, antonym, hypernym, hyponym, meronym, holonym andassociation relations. The ontology contains 26,195 words organized in 13,328 synsets. It has beendeveloped and contrasted against AWN which is the most common available Arabic lexical ontology
