Cypriot Arabic, is an unwritten language and mother tongue of several hundred bilingual (Arabic/Greek) Maronites from Kormakiti (N.W. Cyprus). In this book many Cypriot Arabic terms are cited with illustrative examples and ethnographic commentary where relevant. It is primarily intended for orientalists and linguists specializing in comparative Semitics and Arabic dialectology.
