True, Al belongs to Arabia, but for pronunciation purposes, this is how its pronounced. Even /hathih alkalimatu/ is pronounce /hathihil kalimatu/. This happens sometimes when a diactritic of the last letter is conjoined with Al.

well, it will sound a little awkward, but it's not a big deal problem as the listener will perceive it fine.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I got lost in the last word. I read it as ALLUGHATI AL-ARABIYYATI. So why did you conjoin ALLUGHATI + AL = ALLUGHATIL? I thought, that AL would rather belong to ARABIYYATI, since AL (here meaning: "of") refers to the next word, "Arabic": from THE language OF Arabic = from the Arabic language.

Asker: Okay, but if I prefer to say it spelled out, can I or is it incorrect to say ALLUHGHATI AL-ARABIYYATI? So if I don't want to concatenate and drop the A, would that still be correct?

Asker: I mean, is it correct both ways: to abbreviate and not to abbreviate? Or does it HAVE TO be abbreviated?

Asker: Awkward? So let me put it this way: Would it be awkward for a native Arabic speaker to say ALLUGHATI AL-ARABIYYATI? I mean, what if that native Arabic speaker doesn't want to talk fast, so he doesn't want to abbreviate? Would he be perceived then as non-native?

Asker: OK, it's all crystal clear then. Thank you very much.
