A Comparative Glossary of Cypriot Maronite Arabic, Arabic-English, With an introductory essay, Borg A., 2004.

   With the appearance of this work I redeem a promise of two decades ago to follow up my linguistic study on the sound system and accidence of Cy[priot] A[rabic] (Borg 1985) with an etymological glossary. This new investigation is based on field work conducted in the early eighties and, more recently, in the summer of 2000, among speakers of this vernacular residing in Nicosia.




ARABIC IN CYPRUS.
Even allowing for an early arrival in Cyprus of Arabic-speaking Maronites (cf. §II), it is a moot point to what extent the existence of Arabic on the island is directly and exclusively linked with the history of this religious community.33 Mas Latrie (1861:111) mentions the presence in Cyprus of several Christian ethnoreligious entities coexisting with the Greek Orthodox majority, including potential speakers of Arabic and/ or Aramaic:
Independamment des Syriens, des Armeniens, et des Maronites, dont nous venons de parler, on y vit passer, a diverses epoques, des Nestoriens, des Ethiopiens, des Iberiens, des Georgiens, des Jacobites, des Coptes, des Zingares et des Juifs.
