“…Most of the researches so far focused on mapping the Bedouin dialects (Abdel-Massih & Bahig, 1978;Abu El-Hij'a, 2012;Al-Wer & De Jong, 2009;Blanc, 1970;Fischer & Jastrow, 1980;Holes, 1995a;Holes, 1995b;Shawarba, 2007), with specific attention to the Bedouin dialect of the Galilee in north Israel (Rosenhouse, 1980(Rosenhouse, , 1984(Rosenhouse, , 1995a(Rosenhouse, , 1995bRosenhouse & Katz, 1980), the Bedouin dialects of central and southern Sinai (de Jong, 2011), and outside Israel, for example Bedouin dialects in Jordan (Palva, 2008), Egypt and eastern Lybia (Mitchell, 1960), Iraq (Palva, 2009), and Kuwait (Ayyad, 2011); sociolinguistic aspects and stylistic variation of the Bedouin dialects of the Negev (Henkin, 1992(Henkin, , 1994(Henkin, , 1996(Henkin, , 1998(Henkin, , 2000(Henkin, , 2005(Henkin, , 2007a(Henkin, , 2007b(Henkin, , 2009a(Henkin, , 2009b(Henkin, , 2010(Henkin, , 2011; Bedouin poetry (Bailey, 1991;Holes & Abu Athera, 2007;Jargy, 1989); anthropological aspects of Bedouin society (Borg, 1999(Borg, , 2001Borg & Kressel, 1995, 2001; Bedouin manners from socio-linguistic point of view (Piamenta, 1979).

This study explored spelling development of the written form of Arabic among native Bedouin Arabic (BA) speakers in second, fourth, and sixth grades (N = 347) from two recognized authorities in south Israel. Specifically, this study focused on guttural (/ḥ/), uvular-velar (/q/ and /ġ/), emphatic (/ḏḍ/, /ṯṭ/, and /ð/̠), and dental (/ṯ/) consonants. Three tasks were constructed for this study: real word dictation, pseudo-word dictation, and real word recognition. The results for the real word task, pseudo-word task, and the word recognition task indicated significant improvement in spelling accuracy of the consonants targeted among fourth graders, however there was no additional improvement among the students in the sixth grade. It was also found that with emphatic phonemes accuracy is significantly lower than with all other phonemic groups at all elementary grades. In addition, gender differences were observed with significantly higher scores for girls in all grades targeted for all tasks. Pedagogical implications of these findings are discussed.

“…In some traditional Arabic-speaking societies men and women live in rather separate social groups (except for family relations). Thus, CA reveals various linguistic differences between male and female speech (e.g., Al-Wer, 2007;Vicente, 2013;Henkin, 2000). This state is common to most of the Arabic dialects in the Middle East and North Africa and many studies of Arabic dialects focus on linguistic gender-based differences in the phonetic and lexical domains (e.g., Al-Wer, 2007;Eid, 2002).…”

This study explores the acoustic properties of the vowel systems of two dialects of colloquial Arabic spoken in Israel. One dialect is spoken in the Galilee region in the north of Israel, and the other is spoken in the Triangle (Muthallath) region, in central Israel. These vowel systems have five short and five long vowels /i, i:, e, e:, a, a:, o, o:, u, u:/. Twenty men and twenty women from each region were included, uttering 30 vowels each. All speakers were adult Muslim native speakers of these two dialects. The studied vowels were uttered in non-pharyngeal and non-laryngeal environments in the context of CVC words, embedded in a carrier sentence. The acoustic parameters studied were the two first formants, F0, and duration. Results revealed that long vowels were approximately twice as long as short vowels and differed also in their formant values. The two dialects diverged mainly in the short vowels rather than in the long ones. An overlap was found between the two short vowel pairs /i/-/e/ and /u/-/o/. This study demonstrates the existence of dialectal differences in the colloquial Arabic vowel systems, underlining the need for further research into the numerous additional dialects found in the region.

Spelling Development among Triangle versus Native Bedouin Arabic Pupils

This study compared spelling development of consonants (guttural: /ḥ/, uvular-velar: /q/ and /ġ/, emphatic: /ḏḍ/, /ṯṭ/, and /ðҐ, and dental: /ṯ/) in the written form of Arabic among native Bedouin Arabic speakers from north and southern Israel (N=666), versus native Arabic pupils from the triangle (N=153), learning in second, fourth, and sixth grades. Three tasks were constructed for this study: real word dictation, pseudo-word dictation, and real word recognition. The results show significantly higher scores for spelling among pupils from the triangle versus Bedouin pupils from southern and north Israel in the second grade. Also, Bedouin males from southern Israel scored significantly less than their female counterparts in the group and from all other male pupils who participated in this study at all ages. It is suggested that the gap is unnecessarily gender-oriented, but mainly affected by socio-economic aspects and by the lack of appropriate teacher training for this community.
