ABSTRACT
Certain loan-words, viz. from Persian, are also found both in Datinah and Bahrāni Arabic:
basket clerk, tally-clerk sack tub, basin presents hubble-bubble spout mouth
The following lexis from San cani Arabic are also present in B:
the water I like, as trigonella tray room, house these those that (fern.) to, for you for you stand up cow
stone tree descendants of the Prophet amusing world a roll of cloth
coffee his wife making coffee pourer
We will now evaluate the comparative closeness of links in the field of phonology between B and the other dialect-areas referred to above statistically. Not all the features listed are perhaps of the same importance but for what it is worth the number of parallels is as shown in the tabulation given below (where the asterisk indicates the presence of the given feature).
