- The examples are attributed to the MADAR corpus; city labels stand in for regions, with Doha representing Gulf Arabic.
Field notes
The page explains that its example sentences come from the MADAR corpus and labels city examples as regional stand-ins: Doha for Gulf, Beirut for Levant, and Rabat and Tunis for the Maghreb. It also gives context for the displayed speaker estimates, including that the Gulf figure excludes Najdi and Hejazi. The key form offers a one-million-token free trial; those access terms are stated by the site.
