Jabal al-Lughat: July 2015
http://lughat.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Climbing the Mountain of Languages. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. How Berber is the Arabic of the Chaamba? As unfortunately foreshadowed by my last post, violence broke out again in Ghardaia recently between Chaamba and Mozabites. At least 22 were killed. Most of them Mozabite. One news item that recently made waves came from a Facebook post by Ahmed Ben Naoum, a professor of sociology at the University of Perpignan. Who, as reported by El Watan. Insists that the Chaamba (properly šʕanba. Eux-mêmes ont été a...

Climbing the Mountain of Languages. Thursday, August 21, 2014. Sondage pour les algériens bilingues arabe/français. Même si j'écris généralement en anglais, je suis sûr que ce blog a quelques lecteurs algériens qui sont bilingues arabe/français. Si vous appartenez à cette catégorie, et si vous avez quelques minutes pour aider une doctorante algérienne à l'Université de Florida en ses recherches linguistiques, vous pouvez faire ce sondage. Je joins la lettre que j'ai reçue. Le sondage a plusieurs listes d...

Jabal al-Lughat: Algerian Arabic in schools? More smoke than fire
http://lughat.blogspot.com/2015/08/algerian-arabic-in-schools-more-smoke.html
Climbing the Mountain of Languages. Monday, August 10, 2015. Algerian Arabic in schools? More smoke than fire. She points out that nearly 10% of Algerian children repeat second grade, and argues that the solution is for the teacher to make more use of the linguistic abilities they come into school with. Public opinion in Dellys seems to be overwhelmingly against this move, and I suspect that applies to most of Algeria. The president of the teachers' union (UNPEF). Expressed its support, claiming that "in...

Jabal al-Lughat: How Korandje made "with" agree it-with its subject
http://lughat.blogspot.com/2015/06/how-korandje-made-with-agree-it-with.html
Climbing the Mountain of Languages. Saturday, June 27, 2015. How Korandje made "with" agree it-with its subject. Korandje, the language of Tabelbala in southwestern Algeria, requires the comitative preposition "with" to agree in person and number, not with its object, but with its subject (strictly speaking, with its external argument):. ʕan bạ-yu ʕ-indz uɣudz əgga ʕa-b-yəxdəm. My friend-s I-with whom PAST I-IMPF-work. My friends with whom I was working". Lameen Souag الأمين سواق. 27 June, 2015 18:34.

Jabal al-Lughat: Seaweed from Hell? A Qur'ānic hapax legomenon in a modern Arabic dialect
http://lughat.blogspot.com/2015/08/seaweed-from-hell-quranic-hapax.html
Climbing the Mountain of Languages. Tuesday, August 04, 2015. A Qur'ānic hapax legomenon. In a modern Arabic dialect. The Qur'ān contains many Arabic words obscure enough that even the earliest commentators (eg al-Ṭabarī. At a time when Arabs still natively spoke something quite close to Classical Arabic, considered them to need glossing. This fact has led to sometimes rather wild speculations; at the extreme, Luxenberg. One such case that I recently came across is ḍarīʕ. شلاظة تاع البحر in Dellys Arab...

Jabal al-Lughat: Anomalous gender agreement in Algerian Arabic
http://lughat.blogspot.com/2015/06/anomalous-gender-agreement-in-algerian.html
Climbing the Mountain of Languages. Monday, June 29, 2015. Anomalous gender agreement in Algerian Arabic. In Algerian Arabic (here, Dellys dialect), the feminine singular form of an adjective is formed just by adding a suffix -a. آخُر axŭṛ. أُخرى ŭxṛa. أُخرين ŭxṛin. A third case is rather different. "Such-and-such (a person), so-and-so" is expressed by the noun m. sg. فلان flan. F sg فلانة flana. But f sg. فلانتية flan t. F pl فلانتيين flan t. And normal gender number agreement on the adjectival deriv...

Jabal al-Lughat: October 2014
http://lughat.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Climbing the Mountain of Languages. Thursday, October 30, 2014. I'm almost three-quarters of the way through Heath's Grammar of Tamashek (Tuareg of Mali). The main interest lies in its efforts to reduce the bewildering complexity of Tuareg morphology to some sort of order, an impossible task which it accomplishes more successfully than any other Tuareg grammar I've looked at so far. Aside from this, however, it's raised some interesting etymological issues. I-wwáy=ədd i-sǽɣer-æn. Shine, gleam" - cp....
