"A Dictionary of Syrian Arabic" provides Syrian terms for the
language spoken in everyday life by Muslims primarily in Damascus,
but understandable throughout Syria as well as in the broader
linguistic areas of present-day Lebanon, Jordan, and among the
Palestinians and the Arabic-speaking population of Israel. Entries
include examples, idioms, and common phrases to illustrate usage.
The Arabic terms are presented in transcription. It is useful for
students of Arabic, scholars wishing to train in the Syrian
dialect, and visitors and travelers to Syria and other nations
where the dialect is spoken. A thorough introduction outlines the
sociolinguistic situation in Syria and covers phonology,
morphology, syntax, grammar, and vocabulary. Alongside the other
Arabic language-learning and reference works published by
Georgetown University Press, this dictionary is yet another
invaluable volume on spoken Arabic, belonging at the side of
travelers and scholars, and on the shelves of research and
reference libraries.
