On March 28, 2016, an enlightening seminar was orchestrated by the Language Research Center, featuring Dr. Nisar Ahmed Koka as the keynote speaker. He captivated the audience with his intriguing research paper, titled "Cross-Cultural Communication and Subsequent Diffusion of Loanwords," casting a spotlight on the linguistic fusion between Arabic and Kashmiri languages.

Dr. Koka's research aimed to delve into the depths of lexical borrowing within the context of cross-cultural communication, particularly focusing on the permeation of Arabic loanwords into the Kashmiri vernacular. The heart of his investigation lay in uncovering the intricate tapestry of borrowed lexis within the realm of religion, highlighting the interweaving of these distinct cultures and languages.

In a testament to inclusivity, the seminar was broadcast via video conferencing, bringing the Al Samer Female Campus into the fold of this insightful discourse. The seminar struck a harmonious balance between interaction and information, making it an engaging and illuminating event for all participants.
