A DICTIONARY OF EGYPTIAN ARABIC

This dictionary is intended to satisfy a longstanding need on the part of speakers of English for a dictionary with
which to comprehend Egyptian Arabic. During the past twenty-five years progress has been made in the
lexicography of Arabic dialects other than Egyptian, principally as a result of efforts based at Georgetown
University; and the study of literary Arabic was transformed for speakers of English by the appearance in 1%1 of
Hans Where's A dictionary of modern written Arabic.
