This volume, covering the Bukhara Arabic dialect specifically, presents forty-five chapters of orally collected folk narratives transcribed phonetically in the original dialect, each with a facing Russian translation, together with an extensive scholarly introduction, philological notes, comparative tables, and four plates of photographic portraits of Bukhara Arab informants. Although issued as \"Volume I,\" no subsequent volume covering the related Qashqa-Darya Arabic dialect ever appeared under Tsereteli's name; that work was left to other scholars, including I. N. Vinnikov, making this the sole installment of the projected series. Nearly seventy years after publication, Tsereteli's study remains a standard primary reference actively cited in current international scholarship on Central Asian Arabic and language contact, including recent studies in the Journal of Arabic Linguistics and conference proceedings of the International Association for Arabic Dialectology. Issued in a run of only 1,000 copies, it is a genuinely scarce foundational text for Semitists, Arabists, and specialists in Turkic-Iranian-Semitic language contact in Central Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44533918138410,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_7082_958a56b9-1d42-433c-b94d-e5ccf099611e.jpg?v=1783272718","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/tsereteli-g-the-arabic-dialects-of-central-asia-bukhara-arabic-dialect-arabskiye-dialekty-sredney-azii-1956-in-russian-and-arabic","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
