This book is for the Arabic spoken in qatar saudi UAE and Kuwait very helpful. Hard to use until you are familar with tonal language rules
 Most complete GA dictionary, but confusing. August 12, 1998

Odd dictionary, which uses arabic letters for each of the gulf arabic roots, which is a problem for learners non-readers of Arabic. This does also lead to confusion - jiim, for example, is used both for words containing classical jiim and classical qaaf. This would be fair if there wasn't a good degree of flexibility in "Gulf Arabic". Personally I find it confusing. I find Dr. Qafisheh's previous "Glossary of Gulf Arabic" (pub. Librairie du Liban) more useful esp. as it is GA-English and English-GA, but this new work is more complete.
