Automatic Identification of Arabic Language Varieties and Dialects in Social Media
Automatic Identification of Arabic Language Varieties and Dialects in Social Media Fatiha Sadat Farnazeh Kazemi Atefeh Farzindar University of Quebec in NLP Technologies Inc. NLP Technologies Inc. Montreal, 201 President Ken- 52 Le Royer Street W., 52 Le Royer Street W., nedy, Montreal, QC, Canada Montreal, QC, Canada Montreal, QC, Canada [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the formal language in most Arabic countries. Arabic Dia- lects (AD) or daily language differs from MSA especially in social media communication. However, most Arabic social media texts have mixed forms and many variations especially be- tween MSA and AD. This paper aims to bridge the gap between MSA and AD by providing a framework for AD classification using probabilistic models across social media datasets. We present a set of experiments using the character n-gram Markov language model and Naive Bayes classifiers with detailed examination of what models perform best under different condi- tions in social media context. Experimental results show that Naive Bayes classifier based on character bi-gram model can identify the 18 different Arabic dialects with a considerable over- all accuracy of 98%. 1 Introduction Arabic is a morphologically rich and complex language, which presents significant challenges for nat- ural language processing and its applications. It is the official language in 22 countries spoken by more than 350 million people around the world1. Moreover, the Arabic language exists in a state of diglossia where the standard form of the language, Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the regional dialects (AD) live side-by-side and are closely related (Elfardy and Diab, 2013).

Write the English name in the space to the left of the Hebrew name. Since the alphabet has no vowels, you will have to provide vowel sounds to recognize each word. Start by trying an “a” vowel between each con- sonant. The “a” vowel is the most common vowel in Hebrew and, while it will not always be the correct one, it should help you recognize these names. לבן Laban יעקב אסתר אברהם עבדיה יצחק יחזקאל יׂשראל דוד רבקה נחמיה נבכדנאזר ירבעם ירדן מרדכי מׁשה דברה גלית יׁשמעאל עׂשו 5 Exercise 1B: ReAding Proper NAmes Exercise 1C: Hebrew Cursive (Optional) Using the examples shown, practice writing out the cursive Hebrew characters on the lines provided for you.

Saudi Dialects: Are They Endangered?
Academic Research Publishing Group English Literature and Language Review ISSN(e): 2412-1703, ISSN(p): 2413-8827 Vol. 2, No. 12, pp: 131-141, 2016 URL: http://arpgweb.com/?ic=journal&journal=9&info=aims Saudi Dialects: Are They Endangered? Salih Alzahrani Taif University, Saudi Arabia Abstract: Krauss, among others, claims that languages will face death in the coming centuries (Krauss, 1992). Austin (2010a) lists 7,000 languages as existing and spoken in the world today. Krauss estimates that this figure could come down to 600. That is, most the world's languages are endangered. Therefore, an endangered language is a language that loses her speakers within a few generations. According to Dorian (1981), there is what is called ―tip‖ in language endangerment. He argues that a language's decline can start slowly but suddenly goes through a rapid decline towards the extinction. Thus, languages must be protected at much earlier stage. Arabic dialects such as Zahrani Spoken Arabic (ZSA), and Faifi Spoken Arabic (henceforth, FSA), which are spoken in the southern region of Saudi Arabia, have not been studied, yet. Few people speak these dialects, among many other dialects in the same region. However, the problem is that most these dialects' native speakers are moving to other regions in Saudi Arabia where they use other different dialects. Therefore, are these dialects endangered? What other factors may cause its endangerment? Have they been documented before? What shall we do? This paper discusses three main different points regarding this issue: language and endangerment, languages documentation and description and Arabic language and its family, giving a brief history of Saudi dialects comparing their situation with the whole existing dialects.

The Hebrew Alef-Bet
The Hebrew Alef-Bet There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet (alef-bet); five letters have two forms – one form if it appears at the beginning or middle of a word, and a different form when it is the final letter in the word. (Remember that Hebrew was originally written without any punctuation, vowels or even spaces between the words – these five letters would give some “signposts” through that text to periodically identify the end of a word. Even today, Israeli newspapers have no punctuation nor vowels, although they do separate the words). Therefore, there are 27 unique letters in the Hebrew alef-bet. Hebrew started as a picture language – the letters were pictures of the item or concept they stood for. For example, the second letter “bet” B was used to represent a house – and it looks like a lean-to dwelling. The 18th letter “tzaddi” c represents righteousness – and looks like a person kneeling in prayer. Because of the pictorial origins of the alef-bet, each of the 22 letters has a specific meaning as shown below: 1. Zx Alef - God is Creator & King 12. l Lamed - Teaching & Learning 2. B Bet -House or Temple 13. m Mem - Water, Revealed, Concealed 3. g Gimel –Loving Kindness, 14. n Nun - Faithfulness, Soul, Culmination Emergence, condemnation 4. d Dalet –Door, Path or Way 15. s Samech - Support, Divine Presence 5. h Hay –Spirit, Breath of God 16. f Ayin - Sight, Insight 6. V Vav –Completion, Redemption 17. P Peh - Mouth, Speech 7. z Zayin –Focal point of Sustenance, 18.

Psalms 119 & the Hebrew Aleph
Psalms 119 & the Hebrew Aleph Bet - Part 18 TZADDI The eighteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called “Tsade” or “Tzaddi” (pronounced “tsah-dee”) and has the sound of “ts” as in “nuts.” Tzaddi has the numeric value of 90. In modern Hebrew, the letter Tzaddi can appear in three forms: Writing the Letter: TZADDI Note that the second stroke descends from the right and meets the first stroke about halfway. Note: In the past, Tzaddi sometimes was transliterated using “z” (producing spellings such as “Zion”) and in some academic work you might see it transliterated as an “s” with a dot underneath it. It is commonly transliterated as “tz” (as in mitzvah) among American Jews. The letter Tzaddi (or Tsade), in pictograph, looks something like a man on his side (representing need), whereas the classical Hebrew script (Ketav Ashurit) is constructed of a (bent) Nun with an ascending Yod. (See the picture on the left.) Hebrew speakers may also call this letter Tzaddik (“righteous person”), though this pronunciation probably originated from fast recitation of the Aleph-Bet (i.e., “Tzade, Qoph” -> “tsadiq”). “The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion,” Proverbs 28:1. “And I will betroth thee unto Me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto Me in Righteousness, and in Judgment, and in Lovingkindness, and in Mercies. I will even betroth thee unto Me in Faithfulness: and thou shalt know Yahweh,” Hosea 2:19-20. Tzaddi Study Page 1 Spiritual Meaning of the Tzaddi Tzaddi = TS and 90 and means “STRONGHOLD”, “FISHER”, “THE WAY” and “RIGHTEOUS SERVANT” TZADDI is almost the same as the word for “A RIGHTEOUS MAN” – TZADDIK.
