A Practical Guide for Elyssa Alphabet. A Latin Script to teach Tunisian Arabic for young Diaspora

Document from the year 2016 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Arabistic, language: English, abstract: Taken into consideration that Maltese is developed from Tunisian Arabic, it is clearly seen that Maltese Latin Script orthography is the most appropriate one for Tunisian Arabic. It will be not consequently useful to try to create a new Latin Script orthography for Tunisian and forget about the existence of an efficient Latin Script orthography that is issued from 500 years of important linguistic research. In this practical guide, we adapt the Maltese Latin Script orthography to create our Elyssa writing method in order to be used to teach Tunisian Arabic for young Tunisian Diaspora that is not familiar with common Arabic Script.
