Dictionary of Central Asian Islamic Terms

This specialized dictionary defines some 2,300 Islamic terms as they are
attested in each of the following nine Central Asian languages: Bashkir,
Karakalpak, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Tatar, Turkmen, Uyghur, and Uzbek.
The terms relate specifically to Islamic concepts, Islamic ritual and
law, technical terms related to hadith, hajj, philosophy, Sufism,
hagiolatry, and pilgrimage. The dictionary also includes proper nouns
relating to names and epithets of God and prophets, as well as those
relating to specific religious locales central to the Islamic faith and
names of the suras of the Qur’an. The dictionary is based on material
from sources dated 1985 and later.

Spoken Sudanese Arabic: Grammar, Dialogues, and Glossary

This is the first book length treatment of Spoken Sudanese Arabic for
English speakers since 1979. The book opens with a grammar sketch which
describes sounds, word building, phrase and sentence structure, and
discourse in Sudanese Arabic. The teaching dialogues are transcribed
from authentic audio and video recordings made by first language
speakers of Sudanese Arabic. Each dialogue is followed by a glossary of
words and phrases from the dialogue and by comprehensive notes that
explain linguistic and cultural features. The focus of this work is
listening comprehension and is designed for use by intermediate level
learners of Arabic who are familiar with Modern Standard Arabic and at
least one other dialect of spoken Arabic. Learners at other levels as
well as researchers with an interest in Arabic dialects will also find
this work useful.
