	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Arabic
		The Arabic language (Ø§ÙÙØºØ© Ø§ÙØ¹Ø±Ø¨ÙØ© al-luÄ¡ah al-Ê¿arabiyyah), or simply Arabic (Ø¹Ø±Ø¨Ù Ê¿arabÄ«), is the largest member of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family (classification: South Central Semitic) and is closely related to Hebrew and Aramaic.
		Arabic is a major source of vocabulary for languages as diverse as Berber, Kurdish, Persian, Swahili, Urdu, Hindi (especially the spoken variety), Turkish, Malay, and Indonesian, as well as other languages in countries where these languages are spoken.
		While Arabic is strongly associated with Islam (and is the language of salah, prayer), it is also spoken by Arab Christians, Oriental Mizrahi Jews, and smaller sects such as Iraqi Mandaeans.

		The official language of Morocco is Modern Standard Arabic, as is the case in all Arabic-speaking countries.
		Most of the vocabulary of Moroccan Arabic, as is the case with other varieties, is formed by the application of vowels and affixes to consonant roots.

		The term "Arabic" may refer either to literary Arabic (fuṣḥā) or to the many localized varieties of Arabic commonly called "colloquial Arabic." Arabs consider literary Arabic as the standard language and tend to view everything else as mere dialects.
		Structural influence from foreign languages or from the colloquials has also affected Modern Standard Arabic: for example, MSA texts sometimes use the format "X, X, X, and X" when listing things, whereas Classical Arabic prefers "X and X and X and X", and subject-initial sentences are significantly more common in MSA than in Classical Arabic.

	History of Tunisian Jews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Tunisian Jews have always represented a unique culture, due to the the geographical situation of Tunisia as well as by the historical problems encountered by this community.
		Tunisian Jews are, for the great majority, a poor community, profoundly religious and simple, surviving more or less on a day to day basis.
		Tunisian Jews start to mingle with the French and try only to express themselves in the language of Voltaire with a French accent and go to the movies and the theatre.

	Perspectives on Diglossia
		He describes a situation of intrasentential diglossic switching between MSA and Tunisian Arabic where because of lexiacal overlap and morphophonolgical reductions, it is often hard to seperate the MSA from the TA.
		Owing to the Palestinian diaspora most Arabic speakers have a passive knowledge of the Palestinian dialect, and because of the Egyptian dominance of Arabic TV and cinema most Arabic speakers have a passive knowledge of the Egyptian dialect as well.
		The only variety of Arabic so far to break off and form its own language is Maltese, and most scholars agree that this happened because the Maltese are Christians and don't consider the Arabic language sacred in the same way that Muslims do.

	A Tunisian in the UK - تونسي في بريطانيا: Italian influence in Tunisian spoken Arabic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Very few Tunisians realise this, but quite a few words of our spoken dialect of Arabic come from Italian, not Arabic nor French.
		Italians have been to Tunisia several times: in the 2nd century BC as conquerors, in the 17th and the 18th centuries as immigrants and in the 20th as tourists.
		I'm listing the Arabic term as pronounced by Tunisians, the Italian word, the English translation of the Italian word and the Arabic translation of the Tunisian term.

	Recipe: Mubattan Bruklu - Ragout of Cauliflower-Stuffed Meatballs in Spicy Tomato Sauce
		The name of this ragout in Tunisian Arabic means "hidden cauliflower." The word mubattan means lined or filled, derived from the word "to hide." And this is exactly what is done in this preparation.
		Ground meat is molded by hand around the florets of cauliflower to form stuffed meatballs that are then cooked in sauce.
		Even so, not all Tunisian cooks do this, sometimes they simply throw the two elements, the meat and the vegetable, into the sauce to cook together.

	Olives Stuffed with Ground Beef in Piquant Tomato Ragout by Clifford A. Wright
		This Tunisian ragout called maraqat al-zaytun is served as a main course, but because of the convenience of the olives and their size, I think the dish lends itself well to a meze table.
		You'll notice that this recipe calls for a huge amount of parsley — three to four bunches, and you must trust me that that is not excessive.

	Recipe: Tabil (Tunisia)
		Tabil, prounced "table," is a word in Tunisian Arabic meaning "seasoning " and refers to a particular Tunisian spice mix, although earlier it meant ground coriander.
		I agree with her and it does seem possible that tabil may have developed in their community of Testour, in the Tunisian plains west of Tunis near Algeria.
		Keep in the refrigerator if using fresh garlic for up to two months or indefinitely if using powdered garlic, although the pungency will decline as time goes by.

		The website, Yezzi.org, is a collection of photos of Tunisians holding up signs in various languages, each with a message directed to Tunisian President Ben Ali.
		This expression in Tunisian dialect intends to transmit a clear message to the dictator in order to give up power, because we consider it is enough.
		For us Tunisians, who are always banned from freely reaching independent information and who are violently forbidden from any peaceful demonstration; this kind of demonstration is a new form of peaceful protest.
