title = "Arabic fish names gathered at the fish market in Hurghada (al-Ġardaqah) May 2011",
abstract = "This article lists the Arabic names of fish and a few other marine animals, which were gathered by interviewing different people working at the fish market in Hurghada, Egypt in may 2011. The article is intended as a lexical study on the names presently used for these animals on the Red Sea coast of Egypt. This name material has been compared with other name materials for marine life in local vernacular Arabic dialects from the Red Sea region, and to a lesser extent with Classical Arabic material. Where possible, the etymology of the names, whether certain or hypothetical, has been provided.",
