Louis Awad
Louis Awad (Maghagha, Minya, January 5, 1915 - Cairo, August 1990), a great Egyptian thinker, writer, dramatist, translator, critic and historian. He demanded the use of the Egyptian language in writing. And Louis Awad considers that the Egyptians did not literally scratch the Arabic, but they mixed it with Coptic words that came from the Demotic language. And the book “Al-Ma’rib min Al-Kalam Al-Ajami Ala Al-Mu’jam” by Abu Al-Mansur Al-Jawaliqi (1073-1145) proved that the Arabic language contains more than 1500 non-Arabic words, including many words that were used in the Arabian Peninsula in the pre-Islamic era. He has a book that sparked great controversy about the language called "Introduction to the Fiqh of Arabic Language".
He received a master's degree in English literature from Cambridge University in 1953 and a doctorate in French and English literature from Preston University in the United States of America in 1953.
