Others have referred to the councils of Socrates and Plato, known as the Academy, named after the Greek mythical hero who was considered the protector of Athens.

These ancient councils and scientific institutions reflect the concern that peoples have had throughout history for transferring knowledge, sciences, and civilizations into their languages in order to achieve renaissance, progress, and encourage creativity and authorship.

Perhaps the most accurate way to view linguistic academies is through the linguistic and intellectual stages that people go through during their renaissance, and the interaction between their language and the languages of other nations, especially with the intellectual progress in sciences, literature, and arts.

The earliest attempts to establish institutions that faced these new requirements can be considered the first nucleus of our linguistic academies.

This idea became popular in later Islamic periods, with caliphs giving translation and transfer great attention, such as Caliph Al-Mansur and Harun al-Rashid, who laid the foundations of Bayt al-Hikma, an institution that reached its peak during the reign of Al-Ma'mun.
