Re: Brief Intro and Arab Phonology Suggestion Request!



This sounds fascinating. When do we start, if this is a collaborative 
project? I've never explored much about Arabic dialects, but I would 
love it if I could help. A "Maltese-flavored Moroccan" sounds fun. 
How could I contribute? Is this a personal thing?

I would suggest that q shift to k. Where are the g dialects? From 
what I found, most of the dialects have k, so "kalb", "kitab" make 
perfect sense to me.

I think, if it is collaborative, we should aim for an Arabic dialect 
to go along with Egyptian, Lebanese, Moroccan, Maltese, etc. 
dialects, a creole, as you put it.

Are you looking for a Pan-Arabic thing, or something meant to be more
"spontaneous", less uniting and more like a contemporary dialect?

Please let me help!!!!
