Art. V.—Contribution to the Study of the Jewish-Arabic Dialect of the Maghreb

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

In the 18th vol. of the Zeihchrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft the late Prof. Fleischer published a specimen of the Jewish Arabic Literature in the Maghreb. Considering the fearful state of oppression in which the Jews of this country live, we have, of course, not to deal with great productions, yet these pieces offer a certain philological interest and give, although the external form seems rather neglected, another proof for the assertion of the Freiherr V. Maltzan (Z. d. M. Gesell. vol. xxvii. pp. 232 ff.) that Arabic in Maghreb comes nearer to that in the Arabic mother country than the Egyptian dialect.
