We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

I am a linguist retired to Cairo seeking information on persons or projects working to document modern (''colloquial'' or ''slang'' (the Egyptians call it)) Egyptian Arabic.
I am available to help on such a project or will make my own (and have assistants starting up the work).
I would be very grateful to know of anyone who is or may be involved with or planning a such a project.
Thank you,
