This article is an introduction to linguistic phenomena which have their origins in the Israeli army and are subsumed under the term Zahalit.

Characteristic tr...

Do you know any linguists who are working on Darija and/or Tamazight that is spoken in Morocco? I am planning usage-based comparative study and would like to connect with (local) experts.
