Sound patches of authentic old city San'ani
	 I stumbled across this amazing
resource which can be found @
http://www.semarch.uni-hd.de/tondokumente.php4? 
LD_ID=5&RG_ID=25&ORT_ID=54 .

	Here you can find some of the sound patches found in Janet Watson's
book "Social Issues in Popular Yemeni Culture".  This book contains more
than 60 transcripts of the popular Yemeni radio show "Mus'id wa Mus'ida"
along with an equal number of very close and accurate translations of  
the
texts.
	This collection also contains some of the sound patches from
Watson's book "Wasf San'a: Texts in San'ani Arabic," pp. viii + 319,  
Otto
Harrassowitz: Wiesbaden.
	I think that anybody wanting to access the highlands lects of
Northern Yemen could find benefit from listening to these patches.
