The usage of Arabizi gives them a new and distinct identity as young people, demonstrating to the rest of the civilized world that they are distinctive and creative via their Arabizi interactions. Ideally, personal identity online is based on the writings we generate inside the digital environments we create. Arabizi encourages users to identify with a certain group, religious system, or lifestyle and makes it easier for them to establish a digital presence and profile. This argument offers significant support to my research topic since it is also based on establishing why youths use Arabizi.
