Arabic Adeni Textbook – Arabic Dialect Series (Yemen) Habaka J. Feghali Edited by Alan S. Kaye

ARABIC ADENI TEXTBOOK

This work was developed to meet the need for an introductory course in Adeni Arabic. It is designed for users who have some background in Modern Standard Arabic and who have a special interest in Arabic dialects.

There are some variations within Adeni Arabic which correlate with the educational level of native speakers. Educated speakers tend to shift to a more formal language when speaking about certain subjects (e.g., politics, religion, the economy).

It is often possible to infer, if not the social class, then the degree of education of speakers by the way they speak and the expressions they avoid using. This fact had some bearing on selecting native speakers to assist in this work. 

This Textbook is designed to provide the basic conversational and grammatical structures of the Adeni dialect. After the completion of the book, the user will be able to carry on conversations in a wide range of social situations.

He will also be able to comprehend language spoken at a normal rate of speed on a variety of subjects.  The Textbook consists of an introductory section on the transcription system, the sound system and useful classroom expressions followed by a series of thirty lessons, five of which are review lessons.

Each lesson consists of a dialogue, model sentences, notes, a vocabulary list, drills and situations, The dialogues and model sentences were developed from recordings of spontaneous, unrehearsed conversations of native speakers in various situations.

They cover a wide variety of subject matter relevant to day-to-day life in Aden. The dialogues as well as the model sentences are accompanied by parallel English translations.

The English translations were kept as close as possible to the Adeni text in order to enable the user to see the relationship between the two. Grammatical and cultural notes have also been provided in order to facilitate a better understanding of the dialect as well as the society in which it is spoken, the vocabulary lists contain grammatical information such as, gender, number, etc.

Verbs are listed in the third person singular masculine in both the perfect and imperfect aspects. The drills are designed to provide Practice in the use of new vocabulary and grammatical structures.
