- 1974 [recorded 1964], Henri Fleisch, “I. Arabe classique et arabe dialectal”, in Études d'Arabe Dialectal [Studies of Dialectal Arabic], A. Études qui abordent le dialectal dans un cadre plus general (overall work in French), Beirut: Dar el-Machreq, published 1974, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 5:
- Tout ceci varie selon les pays: d'après les conditions physiques, la plaine favorise les échanges sur de grandes distances, le dialecte tend à plus d'uniformité; la montagne compartimente plus ou moins, on vit davantage en petites communautés, la tendance est alors à la fragmentation dialectale.
- All of this varies by country: following the physical conditions, the plain facilitates exchanges over long distances, the dialect tends towards more uniformity; the mountain sectionalizes more or less, the people live more in small communities, the tendency is therefore towards dialectal fragmentation.
