A Short Reference Grammar of Moroccan Arabic (Arabic, Paperback)

Another "classic" reference grammar, with online audio. It teaches phonology, morphology, and syntax (same general outline as the Erwin reference grammar). It includes an appendix of texts (bits of cultural material) in urban Moroccan Arabic gathered by a French scholar. It is designed to serve as a reference for the student who has already had an introductory course in Moroccan. The dialect is that of educated urban speakers of the northwestern part of Morocco, espcecially Fez, Rabat, and Casablanca. The audio demonstrates the pronounciation of the Arabic transcribed in the book and is keyed to the text.
