Abstract:

This book contains a detailed grammatical description of Jibbali (or
Shahri),
an unwritten Semitic language spoken in the Dhofar region of Oman, along
with
seventy texts. This is the first ever comprehensive grammar of Jibbali, and
the first collection of texts published in over a hundred years. Topics in
phonology, all aspects of morphology, and a variety of syntactic features
are
covered. The texts include those collected by the late T. M. Johnstone
(newly
edited and translated), as well as new texts collected by the author, while
the grammar is based both on the texts and on original fieldwork. Semitists,
linguists, and anyone interested in the folklore of Arabia will find much
valuable data and analysis in this volume.
