Abstract
Nowadays, the most used language is the colloquial language not the classical language. It is widely used in many nations. The kingdom of Bahrain had the largest share in the spread of the colloquial language, which becomes the trader's language and the language of the social communication too. It became so popular that its usage starts dominating the daily conversations. In this research, we will create algorithm to enhance the process of information retrieval in Arabic slang language of the Gulf. In this algorithm, we put some special Bahraini rules to convert queries from Slang Bahraini to a classical language. In addition, we will apply this algorithm on the Bahraini colloquial language. After making an evaluation for the system relying on the results of three main aspects recall, precision, and F-measure, we noticed that the results of precision about 0.64 for both researches slang and classical, which gives a great indication that the system supports searching in Bahraini slang language. The purpose of this research is to improve the Information Retrieval system field. In addition, it will save the time and the effort of the researchers of the Bahraini colloquial language.

Summary
1.1 Introduce the ProblemNowadays, the use of Slang has become very common in several fields; social, academic, scientific, practical, and political fields. Conversations (Almeman & Lee, 2013), SMS, e-mails, and social media (Harrag and et al, 2011; Duwairi and et al, 2007; Al-Shalabi and et al, 2003) are devoid of standard Arabic and are bounded to Slang. It is the fourth most wildly used language in the world, with a usage percentage of 5% of people around the world (Kadri & Nie, 2006). As long as the Arabs new generations are missing the knowledge of many standard terms of Arabic, they will suffer from obscurity of these terms as well as constant decreasing usage of the same terms. Some studies have indicated the absence of standard Arabic speakers from native speakers of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) (Mutahhar & Watson, 2002)
