Yes, you may join us. Welcome aboard. You may go to the sign-up thread and communicate your log's link (I've seen you have one) to Brun Ugle. She'll add you to the global list. Then, Johanna will add you to our team's list. As far as requirements are concerned: work in order to learn your target languages, support your teammates, and I usually add "have fun". It's helpful and recommended to keep your log updated. I hope I'm not forgetting anything important. I don't think so, though. @ Johanna: Normally, the welcoming part is up to you. I didn't want to leave Zireael hanging, so I stepped in. Please add her to our team's list when you have the chance. Thanks Edited by Luso on 22 January 2013 at 2:36am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I sent Brun Ugle a link to my log a few days back, and I should be in the global list.

Welcome to the team Zireael!! I look forward to reading your blog and comparing notes on
the differences between Egyptian and Yemeni Arabic. Luso, no problem. We're all in this team together, I just take care of the clerical work :) When I don't log in for a few days it means I'm studying a lot to make up for slacking off somewhere along the way. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Well, I'm not sure if it's Yemeni Arabic. Wikipedia tells me Yemeni Arabic speakers pronounce the letter jim as /ʀ/ (French R) and and qaf as /g/, while Sarah pronounces jim as /dʒ/ and qaf as /q/. It's not Adeni dialect either, since there's no substitution of dental fricatives for dental plosives (/θ/ doesn't become /t/). On the other hand, she does use mā for "what". 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hi Team Alef, here's a random sort of collection of potential resources or even just
ways to find more resources for languages. Let me know if anything is useful, especially if you find anything helpful in Persian that I've missed :) A dictionary of commonly used words, split into categories and in multiple languages (has arabic, but no persian, though other parts of the site do): dicts.info Very strange (quasi-religious) dictionary, but with extensive CSV text (can easily be imported into Anki) with many vocab words for several languages (again: arabic, but no persian): dictionarydictionary.com Persian search engine: iranmehr.com For later in one's studies... perhaps Elan & spouse or our godparent Jappy58 could check this one out and see if there are any useful resources for beginner/intermediate students (especially LR, or texts with pronunciation guides). These are language teaching resources for Persian to foreigners: persian-language.org Just an interesting sight dedicated to recording and documenting all languages of the world. Here's the Iran page: everytongue.com Here's a program that can do word frequency lists (for roman characters, but should support Turkish for example). I've tossed around the idea of running something like this on an LR text for focused vocab study prior to an LR session to help things sink in faster: word frequency counter Finally, the really cool site where I found all of that stuff. It's a web directory project, actually trying to find, gather, and link the web in an open-source, crowd- managed directory. Search engines often lose sites that don't meet their algorithm standards, but this can help preserve access to some interesting ones. The link points to the languages portion, but it includes all topics: DMOZ.org Edited by Hendrek on 25 January 2013 at 8:31pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Yemen is unique in that there is a remarkable diversity in dialects throughout the country. While all Arab countries foster different sub-dialects, it can be argued that Yemen is even more unique. This means that the dialect your friend speaks is indeed likely Yemeni Arabic - it'd just be a matter of determining which one (as you were trying to rule out Adeni). Generally, they are still all closely related to one another. Edited by Jappy58 on 26 January 2013 at 12:28am 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks, Jappy. As I'm focusing more on writing Arabic than speaking, should I change the entry to Arabic (Written), maybe? Simply, after Sarah finishes this university year, all contact with the language will be via e-mails and FB...
