Egyptian Arabic

TODO

• Egyptian Arabic: add notation in Arabic script across the article
• Publication plan
  • Arabic verbs: add Wiktionary links, {{transliteration}} and something like {{lang-ar}}, maybe look further through Talk:Arabic verbs
  • cf. de:Ägyptisch-Arabisch etc., maybe try out changes there first
• use the featured Levantine Arabic as a probably good example
• transcription
  • wikt:Wiktionary:About Arabic/Egyptian: ى should probably not be transliterated as a long vowel???
  • use ALA-LC (cf. "Sticking to one romanization scheme, apparently ALA-LC"[1]) here with ع as the glyph ⟨ʿ⟩.
  • link to the variety romanizations from Romanization of Arabic
•  Done create Wikidata items
  •  Done pattern/وزن/foobar
• verb morphology: use other example, not "اتكلّم" that has a non-regular verbal noun
• Hinds/Badawi's transcription of جافّ "dry" as "gaaff" (alternative to "gaff")[2] (same as Gadalla, p. 171) seems to contradict phonotactics? or rather not because (here) it's an orthographic rather than phonological transcription; write a short note on morphological/orthographical versus phonological representation of long vowels in the transcriptions
•  Done (diff) Egyptian Arabic: "Egyptians generally call their vernacular" -> speakers of Egyptian Arabic
• find a better source than the master's thesis for Franco
• update the review of El Dik & Iskander 2021 at https://lib.reviews/yalla!-lets-learn-egyptian-colloquial-arabic-verbs with more weird (classification) stuff the book does:
  • does the table imply to list all possibilities? that would even be misleading
  • the choice of form "XI" is a bad one
  • اِتْفَعّ, يِتْفَعّ is misclassified as V3a (p. XII), this is rather VIIt3a, this can be seen in the alternative VIIn3a, even of the given example and the existence of other forms for V3a
  • unsystematic approach with this assignment IX 3(?)

sedentary and bedouin dialects, those "in Sinai and on the Mediterranean coast west of Alexandria up to the Libyan border" (p. 64)

"standard dialect of Cairo" (p. 64)

"There are ʻsedentaryʼ dialects with different amounts of Maghrebi admixture according to the area: in the western Delta, the northern oases, and Upper Egypt south of Asyut." (p. 64); eastern Delta closer to Sinai and Palestine (cf. de Jong 2000, p. 622); central and southern Egypt related to Hijazi Arabic (cf. Reichmuth 1983, p. 28ff.); further south to Sudanese Arabic (cf. de Jong 2002, p. 358) < -> Arabic dialect continuum!? >

"transitional are between eastern and western Arabic" (p. 64)

"immigration of different Arab tribes" (p. 64), but no "pidginization or creolization" (p. 64)

Arab settlement after conquest in 7th century (p. 65)

claim: dialects of Delta and Nile Valley until El Minya are "earliest linguistic stratum" (p. 65)

Yemeni and Northern Arab tribes in Egypt (p. 65)

"By the end of the tenth century" the Yemenis had left (tough maybe not all) in 10th century to Ifriqiya (p. 68f.): "presence of Yemenis is attested for the duration of three centuries" (p. 69)

3.1.2 Dialect (p. 69)

phonological communalities between Egyptian and Yemeni dialects (p. 69–71); "both dialect areas are very conservative", so no "evidence for an early Egypt-Yemen connection" here (p. 71)

short demonstratives are common among the two (p. 71)

lexically not much is common, two agricultural terms are given (p. 72)

"Certainly, modern EA shares more items with Levantine Arabic than with any other Arabic dialect region, but many of these go back to much later contacts in Mameluke and Ottoman times (Lentin 1995: 134)." (p. 72)

Dialect literature

(for the section "Publications" in Egyptian Arabic)

The dialogs in the following novels are partly in Egyptian Arabic, partly in Standard Arabic: Mahmud Tahir Haqqi's Adhra' Dinshuway (Arabic: عذراء دنشواي; 1906), Yaqub Sarruf's Fatat Misr (Arabic: فتاة مصر, romanized: Fatāt Miṣr; first published in Al-Muqtataf 1905–1906), and Mohammed Hussein Heikal's Zaynab (1914).

Early stage plays written in Egyptian Arabic were translated from or influenced by European playwrights. Muhammad 'Uthman Jalal translated plays by Molière, Racine and Goldoni to Egyptian Arabic and adapted them as well as ten fables by Jean de La Fontaine. Yaqub Sanu translated to and wrote plays on himself in Egyptian Arabic. Many plays were written in Standard Arabic, but performed in colloquial Arabic. Tawfiq al-Hakim took this a step further and provided for his Standard Arabic plays versions in colloquial Arabic for the performances. Mahmud Taymur has published some of his plays in two versions, one in Standard, one in colloquial Arabic, among them: Kidb fi Kidb (Arabic: كذب في كذب, lit. 'All lies', 1951 or ca. 1952) and Al-Muzayyifun (Arabic: المزيفون, romanized: Al-Muzayyifūn, lit. 'The Forgers', ca. 1953). TODO: xxxxxx add the others!!!

The writers of stage plays in Egyptian Arabic after the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 include No'man Ashour, Alfred Farag, Saad Eddin Wahba, Rashad Roushdy, and Yusuf Idris. Thereafter the use of colloquial Egyptian Arabic in theater is stable and common. Later writers of plays in colloquial Egyptian include Ali Salem, and Naguib Surur.

Novels in Egyptian Arabic after the 1940s and before the 1990s are rare. There are by Mustafa Musharrafah Qantarah Alladhi Kafar (Arabic: قنطرة الذي كفر, romanized: Qanṭarah Alladhī Kafar, lit. 'Qantara Who Disbelieved', Cairo, 1965) and Uthman Sabri's (Arabic: عثمان صبري, romanized: ʻUthmān Ṣabrī; 1896–1986) Journey on the Nile (Egyptian Arabic: رحلة في النيل, romanized: Riḥlah fī il-Nīl, 1965) (and his Bet Sirri (بيت سري, Bēt Sirri, 'A Brothel', 1981) that apparently uses a mix of Standard Arabic and Egyptian Arabic).

Prose published in Egyptian Arabic since the 1990s include the following novels: Yusuf al-Qa'id's Laban il-Asfur (لبن العصفور, Laban il-ʿAṣfūr, 'The Milk of the Bird'; 1994), Baha' Awwad's (Arabic: بهاء عواد, romanized: Bahāʾ ʿAwwād) Shams il-Asil (شمس الاصيل, Shams il-ʿAṣīl, 'Late Afternoon Sun'; 1998), Safa Abdel Al Moneim's Min Halawit il-Ruh (من حلاوة الروح, Min Ḥalāwit il-Rōḥ, 'Zest for Life', 1998), Samih Faraj's (Arabic: سامح فرج, romanized: Sāmiḥ Faraj) Banhuf Ishtirasa (بانهوف اشتراسا, Bānhūf Ishtirāsā, 'Bahnhof Strasse', 1999); autobiographies include the one by Ahmed Fouad Negm, by Mohammed Naser Ali Ula Awwil (اولى أول, Ūlá Awwil, 'First Class Primary School'), and Fathia al-Assal's Hudn il-Umr (حضن العمر, Ḥuḍn il-ʿUmr, 'The Embrace of a Lifetime').

The epistolary novel Jawabat Haraji il-Gutt (Sa'idi Arabic: جوابات حراجى القط, romanized: Jawābāt Ḥarājī il-Guṭṭ, lit. 'Letters of Haraji the Cat', 2001) by Abdel Rahman el-Abnudi is exceptional in its use of Saʽidi Arabic.

21th-century journals publishing in Egyptian Arabic include Bārti (from at least 2002), the weekly magazine Idhak lil-Dunya (اضحك للدنيا, Iḍḥak lil-Dunyā, 'Smile for the World', from 2005), and the monthly magazine Ihna  (احنا, Iḥna, 'We', from 2005).

• pre-suffix vowel lengthening (Watson 8.1.1, p. 201ff.): this is not really related to stress as Egyptian Arabic phonology#Vowel lengthening suggests
• exception to Egyptian Arabic phonology#Vowel shortening? Watson, p. 204: "When an adjective or noun with the relational ending -i3 or the ending -gi or -li (see Section 7.3.1) takes a vowel-initial suffix, -i is subject to pre-suffix lengthening through mora reduplication" and "However, in contrast to other long vowels which result from pre-suffix lengthening, the resulting bimoraic vowel is resistant to unstressed long vowel shortening." Can this be observed in ordinal speech?

Orthography and romanization

Orthography

There is no fixed orthography for Egyptian Arabic. Where it is written in Arabic script the orthography varies between more conservative spellings closer to those of Standard Arabic and spellings closer to the phonology of Egyptian Arabic. This variability arises from the deficiency of the Arabic script for writing the colloquial Egyptian Arabic, for which it is not designed. Part of this is the unavailability of signs for some sounds of Egyptian Arabic that are not part of Standard Arabic. Both options are used in parallel, often even in by one author or in one work. The two options appears for example for these cases:

• treatment of originally long vowels that become short or deleted as a result of vowel shortening or vowel deletion, e.g. the feminine active participle of عرف, ʿirif, 'to know', that is pronounced [ˈʕarfa], can be written in two ways:
  • etymological spelling with the shortly pronounced originally long vowel "ا": عارفة,
  • phonetic spelling without the "ا": عرفة;
• words written with the letters "ث"‏, "ذ", and "ظ" in Standard Arabic that are pronounced /t/, /z/, and /dˁ/ in Egyptian Arabic can keep their etymological Standard Arabic spelling or be phonetically respelled with "ت"‏, "د" and "ض".

Romanization

TODO:

• perhaps add Aboul-Fetouh 1969, pp. 12–13, 1.41 Segmentals?
• IPA: give only phonemes for Levantine Arabic#Orthography and writing systems as well??? perhaps change [] to //???
• note regarding the ye masriyy; also ي might not be used by Hinds/Badawi?
• (DONE) Spitta: add other locations of the book used: only for epenthetic vowel
• (NOT DONE) make table accessible (accessibility should be okay, no much needed modifications)
• add transcriptions for lost sounds/letters where I haven't looked them up yet
• write on the status of [e] and [o], cf. Watson 2002, p. 22, 2.4.3 Diphthongs: "Among some Cairene speakers, the monophthongs are shortened in closed syllables to give short e and o […]" and Woidich 2006, seems to be from Woidich in Watson 2002, cf. Watson 2002, p. 48.

In the table below romanizations by different authors starting with Spitta's from 1880 are given as examples of the variety of those used. Where authors use custom glyphs the ones given try the best available approximation. The use of transcribing glyphs among different authors and between those and a representation of Egyptian Arabic in Arabic script (in doubt Hinds & Badawi 1986 is used above) can't be exactly aligned because different authors use different analyses of the studied language, especially regarding the vowel system. Here also the table below tries to give a good approximation.

Additions to vowels:

• epenthetic vowel:
  • Woidich 2006, p. XXVII, Zur Umschrift: "Der Sproßvokal [ə] im Sandhi wird mit ⟨i̊⟩ bezeichnet, s. 1.3.2.3.", dann aber bei Woidich 2006, p. 8, 1.1.1.2.1: "baʿdi kida"
  • Hinds & Badawi 1986, p. XVIII: "vi) Anaptyxis/Unstressed anaptyctic vowels are represented in small elevated form, while stressed anaptyctic vowels are given in the normal fount", that means "ⁱᵃᵅᵉᵒᵘ"?, e.g. "ʕil-ʕɑgrᵃ ʕal-ɑllɑ"
• Spitta 1880, p. 41, § 15b. Die Transscription der Vocalfärbungen: use that information

ث‎, ذ and ظ spelling examples:

• :ث
  • sawra (in Hinds & Badawi 1986, p. 441 only with ث)
    • Harrell, p. 54: "sawra"
  • sanya (in Hinds & Badawi 1986, p. 140 only with ث)

Why not to use a romanization/IPA mix:

• what does "j" mean now? "ʕ" is also unclear
• giving a phonetic or phonemic phonology(?) is not the idea of a transcription, rather to give something between original orthography/morphology/phonology, so probably IPA characters will be used (morphologically) in places where they're not pronounced like they might indicate read as IPA literally
• IPA is further from Latin alphabet, so contradict the idea of making it easier to grasp morphophonology

Adaptions to ALA-LC

• use ⟨g⟩, ⟨ɑ⟩, ⟨o⟩, ⟨e⟩, ⟨ɑ̄⟩ ⟨ō⟩, ⟨ē⟩
• use ⟨ʿ⟩ ⟨ʾ⟩
• TODO: how to handle two phonologies of qaf? Levantine Arabic#Orthography and writing systems gives ⟨q̄⟩ from Liddicoat, Lennane & Abdul Rahim 2018, pp. 3–4, 13–17, 20 (pages?), but it says "The strike-through bar is used […]" (p. 20), so maybe rather use ⟨q̶⟩ (q with long stroke overlay) (or ⟨q̵⟩ (q with short stroke overlay))
  • Hinds & Badawi 1986 uses ⟨ɢ⟩ which is used in IPA for the voiced uvular plosive, which is not the best choice in my eyes

Adjective morphology

Adjectival stem forms

cf. Gadalla 2000, pp. 169–212

"Table (50) shows that adjectival stem forms which are identical in SA and EA have one of six templates: [CVCC], [CVCVC], [CVCVVC], [CVCCVVC], [CVCCaan], or [?aCCVC]. The last template is also used in comparative forms (See 4.6.2)."

Adjectives follow several stem forms or patterns. The nominal patterns for adjectives are often the same like those for nouns. But some are especially used for adjectives, e.g. Fa3iiL (فَعِيل faʿīl), Fa3uuL, Fi3aLi and Fu3aLi.

In most cases the unmarked adjective forms are the forms for the masculine singular or the forms for all genders and numbers. An exception is the pattern Fa3La for feminine adjectives corresponding to the masculine aF3aL.

The following table shows known adjective patterns, their consonant/vowel templates and their equivalents in Standard Arabic (SA).

Verb morphology

Table of verb forms

model: Arabic verbs#Formation of derived stems ("forms")

Patterns of quadriliteral roots (roots with four radicals) are typically given using the dummy verb faʿlal (root: ف-ع-ل-ل). However, the choice of this particular verb is somewhat non-ideal in that the third and fourth consonants of an actual verb are typically not the same, despite the same consonant used for both; this is a particular problem e.g. for form IVq. The verb table below uses the dummy verb faʿlaq (root: ف-ع-ل-ق) instead.

Rare forms are marked in silver.

TODO:

• common derived AP missing: VIIt R3=G; X 1a, 2b; X+II R2=G, doubled; X+III; ista+Iq (=8 (3 until X); fa3laan adjective (Watson term)
• check whitespace/line breaks for verbal noun column
• add anchors for quadriliteral patterns
• evaluate APs from Abdel-Massih after mitbargil
• evaluate verbel noun patterns from Abdel-Massih
• make the non-existence of examples for doubled roots for some patterns explicit by adding rows with footnotes or otherwise
• other source for X1b???
• form III disease verbs: should they rather come with "oo"/"ee"? (also adapt Wikidata)
• evaluate Woidich 2006 vn for derived forms of defective roots, ends simply -la, is similarly given somewhere in H/B I think
• bring note on AP and PP meaning of transitive verb participles to all forms

Questions:

• pronunciation:
  • "اقشعرّ" (transcribed in Abdel-Massih with "q") Heba: pronounced "q" because of the initial i-, this is always like that
  • emphasis spreading from H/B that I think doesn't comply with Watson 2002: istashɑ̄r, ṭɑwɑlān
• (more) examples for:
  • X+II R2=G, doubled; X+III; ista+Iq, ista7amma

Participles

Active participle

Apart from form I the active participle can be derived by taking the 3rd person masculine singular of the imperfect and replacing the prefix يِـ, yi- by مِـ, mi-. The final ـى, -a of defective verbs of the forms V, t-III and the ista-forms is replaced by ـي, -i. In form IX the 'a' of the imperfect is replaced by 'i' resulting in the pattern مِفْعِلّ, mifʿill.

Same seems to be the case for ista+II and Iq, resulting in:

• مِسْتَفَعِّل, mistafaʿʿil, cf. the table above, the example from Abdel-Massih is ‏استلقّف‎‎ (يِسْتَلَقَّف), xxxxx (xxxxx), 'catch (sth. thrown)' for which Hinds & Badawi 1986, p. 796 gives the AP mistilaQQif,
• مِفَعْلِل – xxxxx mifaʿlil.

Passive participle

Abdel-Massih, Abdel-Malek & Badawi 1981, pp. 196–199, Passive participles: Derivation:

"the passive participle is derived from:"

1. Transitive verbs
2. Verbs whose action is transmitted to a recipient by means of a preposition
3. Passive verbs

often same form as AP

Classicization of participles

For active and passive participles, educated speakers usually use the prefix مُـ, mu- instead of مِـ, mi- with another change imitating Standard Arabic, the insertion of ـَ, a before the first radical in forms V, VI and IIq.

In addition, for passive participles they use a/ā instead of the i/ī of the active participle before the last radical.

Classicisms esp. with form IV.

Differentiation of AP and PP by educated speakers:

• classicism with "a" for PP for differentiation
• sometimes this cannot be used, then:
  • AP from active form, PP from passive form
  • mi- for AP, mu- for PP ("usually employed when the verb is an active form with no corresponding passive form")

Prepositions

In "Präpositionalsatz" circumflex negation (cf. Kalaam Gamiil, vol. 1, p. 142 (lesson 6)). Here the first a of ma3a can be have "haplologische Silbenellipse" (cf. Woidich 2006, p. 139). I think this is not mentioned in Watson 2002, 9.1.2.1 Vowel deletion, p. 229-231.

Syntax

Attributive Verbindungen

Adjectives as attributes

• plural of things -> declined adjective in feminine form
• plural of a small number of things -> optionally declined adjective in plural form
• plural of persons -> declined adjective in plural form

nisba adjectives only decline if referring to female persons

If for an adjective both broken and sound plural forms exist, there might be rule when to use which (according to my personal oral information).
