PEEFACE.
rrHE present enlarged edition of Arabic 8 elf-Taught is to all
J- and purposes a new work. It lias practically been
intents
re-written throughout and much entirely new matter has been
added, whilst those portions of the original English text that
have been retained have undergone thorough revision with
a view to adapting them to modem requirements.
The Vocabularies and Conversations have been carefully
selected for practical use in the daily life of tourists, travellers,
missionaries, business men, and all who come into contact with
the natives of Syria. The work forms an easy guide to spoken
(colloquial) Arabic, and gives the student a practical and
valuable introduction to the thorough study of the language.
The system of transliteration here employed, carefully devised
to give the phonetic pronunciation of Arabic in accordance with
the scheme adopted by the Congress of OrientaUsts, has been
simplified to the last degree, and the key to the vowel sounds,
diphthongs, and hard consonants, given at the foot of the pages
throughout the Vocabularies and Conversations, will greatly
facilitate the intelligible pronunciation of the Arabic words
at sight.
The new outline of grammar throws much useful light upon
the construction of Arabic, and the exercises which follow contain
abundant conversational matter illustrative of the grammatical
rules. The student can thus obtain an intelligent grasp of the
words and sentences he learns by heart, and make them his own.
In carrying out the work of revision the Publishers have had
the assistance of the Eev. N. Odeh, who spent many years in
Palestine and Egypt as a missionary and Head Master of
St. Mary's School, Cairo, and has since been engaged in teaching
Ai-abic at Oxford.
At first sight Arabic letters appear very difficult to learn, and
this is partly the reason why students and travellers fight shy of
the language ; but Eastern tongues are not difficult to acquire
by the SELF-TArrGHT method, and any ordinary capacity can
