"this work represents both in quality and in quantity a very great advance on anything which had been published before in English... no attempt had.. been made before to distinguish between these two dialects... it is a much more scholarly work than Willmore's excellent book on the spoken Arabic of Egypt." R. P. Dewhurst, 1926.
