6 Texts with translation, background notes and information on sources

The texts which follow are divided into two groups: Najdi (Arabian) and Mesopotamian, although there is some difficulty in assigning some of the more marginal types, such as Text 8, Shammar Mas’ūd, to any of the groups. The division is therefore designed mainly for the guidance of the reader and does not constitute a classification system. The arrangement of the texts is generally in order of the degree of relationship to the speech of inner Najd and therefore proceeds in a general northerly and easterly direction.

Two of the texts, Text 3 Ḥ arb and Text 4 ‘Aniza, are not strictly north-eastern in terms of their main location. However the Ḥ arb tribe are distributed in a north-easterly line from Hijaz to Ḥafar al-Bāṭin, while ‘Aniza dialects similar to the one shown are found to the east well within our area. They therefore participate in a linguistic continuum which centres on our area and are in any case of comparative interest.
