Re: Varieties of Arabic

["Dr. Jamshid Ibrahim"]

Thanks Yusuf. I do apprecaite your efforts. As I already mentioned what
I need is a table which classifies all Arabic varieties so that
students have an overview and a first impression. It should also serve
as a kind of orientation. When starting with Arabic you  really need to
delineate the geographic area and the linguistic situation to give a
clear picture. I for instance never thought Chad had anything to do
with Arabic. Some countries as mentioned are members of the Arab League
for a variety of other reasons.
