Covers all major Arabic dialects

Overview

While Modern Standard Arabic is used as the official language of 22 Arab League nations, Arabs normally use one of the 30 or so modern dialects for communicating with family and friends. However, Arabic dialects don’t have a formal written language nor a standard orthography, resulting in a lack of applications and technologies that support them.

Our Arabic Dialects Full-Form Lexicon, or DiaLEX, has been developed to address this lack of support. DiaLEX is a comprehensive computational lexicon covering several major Arabic dialects and subdialects, including Egyptian, Emirati, Saudi Arabian Hejazi, Syrian, Lebanese, and Palestinian.

Based on ArabLEX, our full-form lexicon for Modern Standard Arabic, DiaLEX will cover all inflected, declined, and cliticized wordforms. It is ideally suited for morphological analysis, machine translation, and speech technology applications.
