Bahraini Arabic - Babel Text Profile	Advanced
Language Bahraini Arabic Year 2004 Translator Wael Al-Mahdi Introduction This is the colloquial dialect of Arabic spoken in Bahrain, an independent kingdom in the Arabian Gulf. Although there is another main dialect on the island, used by a higher proportion of the population, this dialect is the one almost always spoken in the media. It is very seldom written (only Modern Classical Arabic is written). This Latin orthography is of my devising. It is designed to require no special characters, but it needs streamlining, because the wealth of consonants in Arabic can cause confusion in any orthography or transliteration. Verse 1 Fel-ëaalam kellah maa kaan fiih ella lugha wáhde u kalaam waáhed. Verse 2 U yoom en-naas saaraw tejaah es-sharq, legaw sahal fi árdh Shinëaar u seknaw ehnaak. Verse 3 U gaalaw hàgg baëádhhom: “Taëaalaw, khalluune insawwi tàabuug u nashwiih ëadel.” U istakhdemaw tàabuug chennah hàjar, u tìin chennah smiit. Verse 4 U gaalaw, “Taëaalaw, khalluune nabni hàgg ruúhne madiine, u borj yuúsal raaseh es-seme, ëashaan insawwi hàgg ruúhne esem u maa netnatthar foog wayh el-árdh kellhe. Verse 5 U nezal er-Rabb ëashaan itàaleë el-madiine u el-borj elli kaanaw yabnuunhom el-bashar. Verse 6 U gaal er-Rabb, “Idhaa kaanaw shaëb waáhed, yitkallemuun lugha wáhde, u sawwaw chedhi minn el-bedaaye, ëayal walashay besìir mustáhiil ëaleehom baëdeen.” Verse 7 “Khallne nanzel lehom u inkharbót lughat`hom, ëashaan el-waáhed minnhom maa yifham et-thaani.” Verse 8 U b’chedhii nattharhom er-Rabb menn ehnaak foog wayh el-árdh kellhe, u hawwenaw maa yabnuun el-madiine. Verse 9 Ëashaan chedhii itsammat el-madiine “Baabel” laïanna er-Rabb balbal lughat ahal el-árdh kellhe, u baëdeen nattharhom foog wayh el-árdh kellhe.
