Yemeni Arabic Learner's Dictio

Yemeni Arabic is a cluster of varieties of Arabic spoken in Yemen, southwestern Saudi Arabia, Somaliland, and Djibouti. Yemeni Arabic can be divided roughly into several main subdialect groups, each with its own distinctive vocabulary and phonology.The most important four groups are San'ani in the North and Center and Hadhrami in the East, where ⟨ق⟩ is pronounced [g] and ⟨ج⟩ is [d͡ʒ] or [ɟ] (except in coastal Hadhrami where ⟨ج⟩ is [j]), in addition to Ta'izzi-Adeni in the South and Tihami in the West, where ⟨ق⟩ is [q] and ⟨ج⟩ is [g].

Most of the vocabulary and examples here come from the Sana'ani subdialect. Use the search feature to look up words in English or Arabic. The dictionary contains about 5000 entries. You can "favorite" words you come across in the dictionary and quiz yourself on them, or just quiz yourself on random words. You can also add your own custom entries to your favorites list.
