IEA supreme leader orders replacement of foreign terminology in official documents

The leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has issued a new decree mandating the review and replacement of foreign terms in official government documents.

The directive calls for the formation of a special committee to assess and revise non-native terminology used across state institutions. The body will be chaired by the Ministry of Justice and include representatives from the Ministries of Higher Education, Education, Information and Culture, as well as the Academy of Sciences and the Administrative Affairs Office.

Under Article Two of the decree, all government entities are required to identify foreign terms used in their administrative and legal documents and submit them to the committee in a structured format, along with proposed alternatives and supporting justifications.

According to Article Three, the committee will evaluate the submissions and select appropriate replacements, taking into account Islamic and Afghan linguistic and cultural considerations. It will also have the authority to summon representatives from relevant institutions for further clarification if necessary.

The decree, as outlined in Article Four, takes effect immediately and will be published in the official gazette.
