Subject: Arabic Lexicon response

I had the pleasure to work with a team of linguists and computer
programmers on the phonological and morphological lexicon of Egyptian
Colloquial Aarbic. The lexicon is called "The LDC CallHome Egyptian
Arabic Lexicon" and is published by the Linguistic Data Consortium of
the University of Pennsylvania. It represents the first electronic
pronunciation dictionary of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic (ECA), the
variety of Arabic spoken in Egypt. The dialect of ECA that this
dictionary represents is Cairene Arabic. This lexicon consists of 54,375
words. It contains tab-separated information fields, including
orthographic representation in both the LDC romanization as well as
Arabic script, morphological, phonological, stress, source, and
frequency information for each word. For more information about the
lexicon, please visit the LDC web site at:
