'Based on the first fascicule which has just appeared. I am pleased to recommend The Reference Dictionary of the Arabic Language. It is the first attempt in English that know of which attempts to bring together the whole lexicon of classical Arabic and the Arabic dialects in a single reference work. As such, I believe that it will be of interest and use to all Arabic language specialists.'
