M Ghabdouane Mohamed, Touareg du Niger, celebre pour sa grandes collection de Poemes de l'Ayr 1-2 y decrit non seulement sa vie personelle, pleine d'evenements fascinants et douloureux, mais aussi la vie traditionelle des Touaregs avec ses apogees les grandes fetes familiales.

About 17,000 entries of words and expressions are covered in this Tuareg-French dictionary. It covers the two main dialects of Niger: the Azawagh and Ayr languages, and the book features a short section on phonetics and a chapter of 60 pages with morphological tables constituting a small grammar and a small calendar. The entire dictionary is built up according to the Tuareg system of alphabetisation and is meant to serve as a manual in the educational system of Niger as well as a valuable sourcebook for scholars working with the Tuareg culture.

This book is meant to be a first reader in Egyptian-Arabic drama for European students. The preface contains a short introduction to the genre with bibliographical hints for further study. The existence of a rich collection of such plays is well known and so are the numerous difficulties of interpretation which they present to the European student because of the dialect in which they are written and the many stamps typical of the place and period of creation which they bear. For the purpose, the authors chose five short one act plays, each with its own peculiarities, which they have transcribed in Roman characters and provided with footnotes explaining the passages which cannot be readily looked up in the existing dictionaries.
