Coastal Dhofari Arabic - A Sketch Grammar

In Coastal Dhofari Arabic: A Sketch Grammar, Richard Davey provides a detailed account of the Phonology, Morphology and Syntax of a hitherto neglected Arabic dialect found in southern Oman. It is a timely account of a dialect that is endangered due to development, modernisation, and the resulting social changes in Dhofar.
