TO SPEAK SHAMALI A northern arabic dialect spoken by a people that lives half the year in snowdeserts! The Shamali tribe is distinguished by the fact that it holds salukis, a noble breed of sighthounds. To illustrate the shamali dialect we have chosen to translate the tribes’ namegiving tradition by a list of names given during the last 30 years. Here is presented the salukis’ names; first the tribe name, Shamali, meaning ”north”, ”northern lights” and ”left”, followed by the individuals name in shamalii, and last translated to english. Please observe that reverse order of words apply.
