The Spoken Arabic of Egypt (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from The Spoken Arabic of Egypt
Professor sheldon amos once remarked to me that Egyptian Arabic had been a hopeless puzzle to him, which he despaired of ever being able to master, until he fell across Spitta Bey's grammar of the language. Then all became clear at once. Spitta's work was indeed a model of the way in which a spoken living language should be scientifically studied. But it was necessarily the work of a pioneer. It opened the way which others should follow and complete.
