Book Description
In this book, the author proposes a modern alphabet of “Tunsi”, the mother tongue of the Tunisians. Tunisia is an Afro-Mediterranean country located at the north-eastern tip of Africa. Actually, it is the northernmost country in this continent. The linguistic landscape is diverse. In addition to Arabic which literal variety is the official language, other languages include Tunisian dialectal i.e. Tunsi, Tamazight, Judeo-Tunisian and French. Tamazight is particularly spoken in the Berberophone Regions of the country probably by a hundred thousand people. Regarding Judeo-Tunisian, it remains still alive despite a drastic reduction in the number of its speakers. These do not exceed the two-thousand, in the best of cases. Not to mention that these two languages are mother tongues, in the same way as Tunsi or even French in some cases. This project aims to enhance the status of Tunsi, in order to account for the development of mass media. In other words, our task is to provide a key for reading and writing this language, in order to promote its use as a language of culture and civilization, and insert it into the educational system and formal communications. The reader will discover several choices made by the author. The proposal itself is based on the “Unicode” standard as to the choice of the letters and signs. Also, the author has introduced five letters with diacritics and a number of conventions, including the emphatic letters. As this book contains diacritics, we ask readers to check the compatibility of their devices, whether they are equipped with the right software to display these symbols and letters.

On the Mediterranean and the Nile
Author: Aimée Israel-Pelletier
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253025788
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Aimée Israel-Pelletier examines the lives of Middle Eastern Jews living in Islamic societies in this political and cultural history of the Jews of Egypt. By looking at the work of five Egyptian Jewish writers, Israel-Pelletier confronts issues of identity, exile, language, immigration, Arab nationalism, European colonialism, and discourse on the Holocaust. She illustrates that the Jews of Egypt were a fluid community connected by deep roots to the Mediterranean and the Nile. They had an unshakable sense of being Egyptian until the country turned toward the Arab East. With Israel-Pelletier's deft handling, Jewish Egyptian writing offers an insider's view in the unique character of Egyptian Jewry and the Jewish presence across the Mediterranean region and North Africa.

The History of al-Ṭabarī Vol. 1
Author:
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438417837
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
Volume I of the thirty-eight volume translation of Ṭabarī's great History begins with the creation of the world and ends with the time of Noah and the Flood. It not only brings a vast amount of speculation about the early history of mankind into sharp Muslim focus, but it also synchronizes ancient Iranian ideas about the prehistory of mankind with those inspired by the Qur'an and the Bible. The volume is thus an excellent guide to the cosmological views of many of Ṭabarī's contemporaries. The translator, Franz Rosenthal, one of the world's foremost scholars of Arabic, has also written an extensive introduction to the volume that presents all the facts known about Ṭabarī's personal and professional life. Professor Rosenthal's meticulous and original scholarship has yielded a valuable bibliography and chronology of Ṭabarī's writings, both those preserved in manuscript and those alluded to by other authors. The introduction and first volume of the translation of the History form a ground-breaking contribution to Islamic historiography in English and will prove to be an invaluable source of information for those who are interested in Middle Eastern history but are unable to read the basic works in Arabic.
