Turkish is an agglutinative language. Its modals and auxiliaries are bound morphemes suffixed to the predicate, whereas relative pronouns in Modern Standard Arabic are used as separate words. Accordingly, the Turkish relative clause contains one of the following participle suffixes: –(y)an, -dik or (y) ecak corresponding to the following Modern Standard Arabic relative pronouns that are used as separate words: ʔallaði, ʔallaðaani , ʔallaðayni, ʔallaðiina, ʔallati, ʔallattaani ʔallatayni and ʔallaati or ʔallawaati. The paper also attempts to reveal some pedagogical implications which are helpful in teaching Arabic and Turkish as foreign languages. Keywords: Relative clause in Arabic, Relative clause in Turkish, Contrastive analysis, Restrictive relative clause, non-restrictive relative clause. الملخص: هدفت هذه الدراسة التعرف إلى أوجه التشابه واﻻختﻻف بين اللغة العربية الفصحى واللغة التركية التركية واللغة الفصحى العربية اللغة بين واﻻختﻻف التشابه أوجه إلى التعرف الدراسة هذه هدفت في مجال اﻻسم الموصول .(Relative Clauses) تعتبر اللغة التركية لغة التصاقية (agglutinative language)حيث تضاف لواحق اﻷفعال المساعدة وصيغ اﻷفعال إلى اﻷفعال والصفات واﻷسماء. لذلك يعد ضمير الصلة في اللغة التركية كملحق يضاف إلى الفعل (y) ecake, -dik, -(y)an)-) بينما يستخدم ضمير الصلة منفصﻻ ا في اللغة العربية: اللذي ، اللذان ، اللذين ، اللتي ، اللتين ، الﻻتي أو اللواتي.

    DRAFT ArabTEX a System for Typesetting Arabic User Manual Version 4.00 12 Klaus Lagally May 25, 1999 1Report Nr. 1998/09, Universit¨at Stuttgart, Fakult¨at Informatik, Breitwiesenstraße 20–22, 70565 Stuttgart, Germany 2This Report supersedes Reports Nr. 1992/06 and 1993/11 Overview ArabTEX is a package extending the capabilities of TEX/LATEX to generate the Perso-Arabic writing from an ASCII transliteration for texts in several languages using the Arabic script. It consists of a TEX macro package and an Arabic font in several sizes, presently only available in the Naskhi style. ArabTEX will run with Plain TEXandalsowithLATEX2e. It is compatible with Babel, CJK, the EDMAC package, and PicTEX (with some restrictions); other additions to TEX have not been tried. ArabTEX is primarily intended for generating the Arabic writing, but the stan- dard scientific transliteration can also be easily produced. For languages other than Arabic that are customarily written in extensions of the Perso-Arabic script some limited support is available. ArabTEX defines its own input notation which is both machine, and human, readable, and suited for electronic transmission and E-Mail communication. However, texts in many of the Arabic standard encodings can also be processed. Starting with Version 3.02, ArabTEX also provides support for fully vowelized Hebrew, both in its private ASCII input notation and in several other popular encodings. ArabTEX is copyrighted, but free use for scientific, experimental and other strictly private, noncommercial purposes is granted. Offprints of scientific publi- cations using ArabTEX are welcome. Using ArabTEX otherwise requires a license agreement. There is no warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.

  • “Muda” System in Facilitating Writing Arabic Romanization in Word Processor; Standardization of Transliteration and Transcription
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 8, Issue 2, 2021 “MUDA” SYSTEM IN FACILITATING WRITING ARABIC ROMANIZATION IN WORD PROCESSOR; STANDARDIZATION OF TRANSLITERATION AND TRANSCRIPTION Nurulasyikin “MUDA”, PhD1, Hazmi Dahlan2 1Pusat Penataran Ilmu dan Bahasa, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kampus Antarabangsa Labuan 2Fakulti Kewangan Antarabangsa Labuan, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kampus Antarabangsa Labuan Abstract This study aims to propose a new system in Arabic romanization to simplify the typing process by using the QWERTY keyboard. The proposed system will be named as “MUDA” as the researcher’s surname and the name itself is nearly similar to the word “MUDA”H in Malay which mean easy or simple that represent the concept of the system. This is to facilitate the needs of the writers, and to decrease the gap of ambiguity for the systems created previously with the one that can increase the product of academic writing when dealing with Arabic romanization. The data of this study is analysed by finding the similarity within the previous transliteration systems and the phonetic system in English. Both systems then will be analysed by comparing them with the characters on the typing keyboard in terms of similarity. This study found that there are 23 keys will be used in 3 ways as follow; (i) single character typing excluding shift; (ii) shift + character (T,S,D,Z,”); and (iii) combining character (th,sh,gh,kh,dz). This explains that no more complicated system of typing process will occur. Hence the speed of completing task in typing Arabic romanization will become faster. Key Words: Arabic Romanization, typing keyboard, word processing Introduction Arabic has its own character as what Japanese, Russian, Tamil and others do.

They vary in the way that they address the inherent problems of rendering written and spoken Arabic in the Latin script. Examples of such problems are the symbols for Arabic phonemes that do not exist in English or other European languages; the means of representing the Arabic definite article, which is always spelled the same way in written Arabic but has numerous pronunciations in the spoken language depending on context; and the representation of short vowels (usually i u or e o, accounting for variations such as Muslim / Moslem or Mohammed / Muhammad / Mohamed ). Method Romanization is often termed "transliteration", but this is not technically correct. Transliteration is the direct representation of foreign letters using Latin symbols, while most systems for romanizing Arabic are actually transcription systems, which represent the sound of the language.

  • MELA Notes 75–76 (Fall 2002–Spring 2003)
    A Guide to Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Urdu Manuscript Libraries in India Omar Khalidi Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture Massachusetts Institute of Technology Introduction hen scholars of Islamic studies think of manuscripts in Arabic W and related languages, they almost invariably turn to the great library holdings in the Middle East and Europe, forgetting that there are huge collections elsewhere, for example in India. It is estimated that in 2003, India possesses nearly one hundred thousand manuscripts in Arabic script spread over a number of libraries in various parts of the country. This number is in addition to what may be available in undocumented private collections. The Indian collections are renowned for the importance of many individual items, from some of the finest calligraphic and illustrated manuscripts of the Qur-an to autograph and other high-quality copies of major legal, literary, scientific, and historial works. Manuscripts produced in India but taken away ille- gally to Europe is another category altogether. Should various cultural properties of Indian Islamic origin found in foreign countries ever be returned to their place of origin, pre¨eminenceof many European mu- seums and libraries would be diminished. For instance, most of the Arabic and Persian, and Urdu collections in the British Library are of Indian origin.1 Similar is the case with Persian manuscripts in France’s Biblioth`equenationale.2 Poet philosopher Allama Iqbal lamented the theft of Indian books in European libraries in a memorable couplet: 1 Ursula Sims-Williams, “The Arabic and Persian Collections in the India Office Library,” pp. 47–52, in Collections in British Libraries on Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, Durham, U.K., 1981.

    David R. Lawson. An Evaluation of Arabic Transliteration Methods. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April, 2008. 55 pages. Advisor: Ronald Bergquist The American Library Association and the Library of Congress currently use a cooperatively developed Arabic transliteration system that is not ASCII-compatible and that incorporates the use of diacritical marks native to neither Arabic nor English. This study seeks to investigate whether the adoption of an alternate Arabic transliteration system by ALA and LC can increase both user access to the materials as well as the ability of librarians to correctly catalog them. The various systems are evaluated based upon phonetic and spelling accuracy, as well as usability, the adherence to not using non- native diacritics, and their compatibility with ASCII standards. A parallel with the issues in Korean transliteration is made in order to show how another language written in a non- Roman script approached the issues. After the analysis, a recommendation is made and avenues for further study are explored.

Particular emphasis will be placed on lexical exchange with Italian as the recipient language. The most important contact zone between Arabic and Italian was southern Italy. Numerous Arabic elements also appear in texts and documents of pilgrims, merchants and diplomats who traveled to Arabia as well as in translations from Arabic. Special features of those contacts are dealt with in separate chapters: Arabic as the intermediate language for bor- rowings with a different remote etymology (Greek, Persian), the various channels of transmission of genuine Arabic elements, the number and status of the borrow- ings, the degree of familiarity of the travelers with Arabic, basic patterns of formal adaptation and corrupt spellings, and finally, in a brief excursus, Italian elements in Arabic.
