| Brief Description: | This is an adjunct to the teaching and research program Institute of languages and linguistics of Georgetown University. The present volume represents the 10th of the series. Originally offered in two separate volumes, A Dictionary of Iraqi Arabic, a staple of Georgetown University Press's world-renouned Arabic language program, now handily provides both the English to Arabic and Arabic to English texts in one volume. Designed for an English speaker learning Arabic, this is a key reference for anyone learning the colloquial speech of Iraq as spoken by educated people in Baghdad. Using romanized transliteration and transcription rather than the Arabic alphabet, it is further enhanced bgy, in most cases, having sample sentences to illustrate how individual word entries are used in context, reinforcing the user's acquisition of colloquial Iraqi. |
