The LinguistList

Where can I study Arabic in a formal setting?

Are the (h-plosive) and (h-pharyngeal fricative) two separate phonemes?

I would like to thank all of the linguists who have volunteered their time to answer queries posted to the Linguist List. These pages represent a compilation of frequently asked questions about the Arabic language. The HTML of these pages was created by Carmen Cross, a Ph.D. student in Arabic linguistics at Georgetown University. Please e-mail Carmen or the panel of linguists if you have any further questions about linguistics in general or Arabic in particular.
