A presumed Comparative Grammar of Arabic Dialects might easily be a
sort of The Book of Sand (by Borges), yet there are certain good
attempts to approche such a gole. One example would be:

Brustad, Kristen: The Comparative Syntax of Four Arabic Dialects: An
Investigation of Selected Topics. Doctoral dissertation. Harvard
University, 1991. (I heard that a year ago the author published a
newer and still better one.)

Dear M,
      Start with Fischer, W. and Jastrow.  *Handbuch der arabischen
Dialecte*  Wiesbaden  1980.  ISBN 3-447-02039-3.  The multi-
language bibliography alone would take 3 lifetimes to read.
      Best wishes,
                                       Mike Schub
