Talk:Cypriot Arabic

Alphabet
I recently found this picture online that depicts the Cypriot Maronite Arabic alphabet. What do you all think, reliable, not reliable? Seric2 (talk) 10:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Meaning of sentence
It is believed these common features go back to a period in which there was a dialect continuum between the Mesopotamian dialects and the Syrian dialect area.

What is this sentence supposed to mean? --Warenford (talk) 21:03, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Phonology
What exactly happened to the qaf in Cypriot Arabic? The Phonology section fails to mention that, even though the reflex of Classical /q/ is the most important and most meaningful classification tool in Arabic dialects (it reveals, after all, the social class where the dialect comes from).

 * Borg says it turned into /k/. I've added it to the article. 62.228.170.218 (talk) 11:23, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

BBC Travel has an interesting video on Sanna ( AKA Cypriot Arabic)
GO here Sanna: A language written for the first time - A mix of Arabic and ancient Aramaic, the Sanna language is only spoken in the village of Kormakitis, Cyprus, and is considered ‘severely endangered’ by Unesco It's worth your time. It also brings up the question as to what to call the article. As a Linguist, I would go with whatever the Native Speakers call it, followed by the word "Language," but that's just the way we do it on other language articles where we know for a fact what the Native Speakers call their own language.LiPollis (talk) 22:14, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Parallel texts
Some (referenced) parallel texts in Cypriot Arabic, Maltese and some mainstream Arabic would be useful. --Error (talk) 09:04, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
