Rules of Standard Maghrebi. Towards a Pan-Dialectal Orthography

Research Paper from the year 2016 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Arabistic, , course: Linguistics, language: English, abstract: Maghrebi is a dialect continuum extending from Tunisia to Morocco with millions of native speakers. However, no standard dialect has been created for this variety and there are limited trials to create a pan-dialectal orthography for it. This booklet is just a trial to solve this problem through the adoption of the excellent aspects of the created orthographies for the main variants of Maghrebi Arabic and the consideration of the morphology and the phonology of each of the Maghrebi Arabic dialects.
