The Living Arabic Project

What it actually is

Search a word and see how it is used in Classical Arabic and across Egyptian, Levantine, North African, Gulf, Iraqi, Sudanese and Yemeni, with roots, plurals, pronunciation notes and example sentences — something no other free resource comes close to. Essential once you start reading or listening to real dialect material. The web dictionaries are free (a paid Lughatuna app adds offline access), and coverage is much thicker for Egyptian and Levantine than for the others.
