There's two Arabic-Arabic dictionaries I'm aware of that focus on Gulf
Arabics of the UAE:

1) Faleh Handhal's معجم الألفاظ العامية في دولة الإمارات published by the
UAE Ministry of Media and Culture (the copy I have was printed in 1998).
This dictionary is apparently hard to find.

2) There's also the dictionary produced by الحموز، القيسي، والجابري and
edited by Muhammad Almurr, called معجم آلفاظ لهجة الإمارات وتأصيلها,
published by Zayed Center for Heritage and History in 2008. ISBN: 9948060873

Greetings.

If you are looking descriptive (or contrastive) materials about features of
those listed Arabic dialects, you might get the works, in the English, by
these linguists:

Bruce Ingham (UK)
Clive Holes (UK)
Margaret K. (Omar) Nydell (Affiliated with Georgetown)
Kristan Brustad (now at The U. of Texas at Austin)
T.M Johnstone (deceased)
Theodore Prochazka (deceased)

I am unaware of any dialect-specific dictionaries, as such, i.e. MSA -
local dialect variant [ <-> English] other than that cited work by Hamdi
Qafisheh at UAZ.

Some related Arabic-language works -- published in KSA, Qatar, UAE and Oman
-- exist on various Gulf Arabic dialects, if interested. Most are available
at a few of the better-stocked Arabic bookstore in the US and UK, or direct
from the national universities or institutes/foundations which sponsored
that sort of research and publications about "cultural heritage and
linguistic foundations of national/regional dialects."

Any interest in similar works -- in the English or the Arabic -- about
dialects of Arabic prevalent in regions of Yemen or the non-Arabic "Modern
Southern Arabian" languages?

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Stephen H. Franke
