This is a companion volume to the same author’s A Dictionary of Nigerian Arabic. It lists the approximately 6,000 lexemes with some illustrative sentences alphabetically, from Arabic to English, using the same transcription as the previous work. This dictionary is designed to be of use to specialists in comparative Arabic dialectology and Semitic linguistics as well as to the general linguist interested in Afroasiatic data from a synchronic point of view. In addition, the volume will be of interest to the Africanist dealing with linguistic diffusion and borrowing.
