Originally offered in two separate volumes, A Dictionary of Iraqi Arabic, a staple of Georgetown University Press's world-renowned 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 in most cases by having sentences to illustrate how individual word entries are used in context, reinforcing the user's acquisition of colloquial Iraqi. The linguistics terms cover around 22,000 entries. The demand for information on learning Arabic, and particularly Iraqi Arabic, has grown spectacularly as English-speaking people have come to realize how much there is yet to know about other parts of the world—language being one of the essential keys to understanding a people and their culture. Another volume in the Georgetown Classics in Arabic Language and Linguistics series, these books bring back into print, and represent the best and most important Arabic language materials necessary for anyone wanting a full background in the field of Arabic language studies.
