The relevance of this book is highlighted first by the fact that language-based approaches are still lacking in Arabic dialectology. The classification of Arabic dialects is not yet entirely satisfactory. Geographical and sociological layers were traditionally based on the assumption that the saliency of some features in the Modern Arabic dialects is the product of two different processes: diffusion and innovation. However, this traditional approach is not consistent with the history of Arabic. For instance, the saliency of some features that support the classification of the Modern dialects varies according to features that can be traced back to Classical Arabic, Islamic dialects, Old Arabic dialects, or proto-Arabic.

This is a timely piece which seeks to place Egypt in its true historical context. It captures the substantial, unmistakable evidence for the indigenous African origin of the ancient Egyptians. It also examines the genius behind their invaluable achievement in concretizing and codifying the hieroglyphic system of writing that they inherited from their ancestors. It explains their mastery of the arts and sciences as displayed in their monumental architectural feats. And finally it analyzes their highly organized-- not surprisingly, matriarchal-- social system which made it possible for so many of their unsurpassed contributions to be bequeathed to human cultures everywhere.
