Introduction This lexicon represents the first electronic pronunciation dictionary of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic (ECA), the spoken variety of Arabic found in Egypt. The dialect of ECA that this dictionary represents is Cairene Arabic. Data The lexicon contains 51,202 entries, drawn from 140 CALLHOME (=LVCSR =HUB5) telephone conversations among native speakers of Colloquial Egyptian Arabic, collected and published by the LDC, plus supplemented entries derived manually from the Badawi & Hines dictionary of Colloquial Egyptian Arabic. The lexical entries are written one to a line with tab-separated fields, including orthographic representation in both the LDC romanization as well as Arabic script, morphological, phonological, stress, source, and frequency information for each word. Here is a sample page. Relative to earlier versions of the Arabic Pronouncing Lexicon, this release provides not only a significant increase in the number of entries, but also a significant effort to improve the quality and consistency of all entries. Updates There are no updates at this time. Copyright
