Book Synopsis A Dictionary of Syrian Arabic by : Karl Stowasser
Book excerpt: This dictionary provides Syrian terms for the language needed in everyday life. The Syrian used is that of educated Muslims in Damascus, which would be understood not only elsewhere in Syria but also in the broader linguistic area of "Syrian Arabic," which encompasses present-day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and the Arab-speaking population of Israel. The book includes examples, idioms, and common phrases using the word in question. The Arabic terms are presented in transcription.
