Arabic Phonetic Rules

Description: this xml file describes the Arabic phonetic constraints (rules) resulting from the analysis of the lexicons(Taj Alarous, Al ain, Lisan Al arab, Alwassit and almoassir ). These rules are to be applied to Arabic roots and are classified into a number of categories. Each category has a certain type of constraints as follow: The first category defines that the root must not consist of three identical letters. The second category defines that the root must not start with two repeating letters. The third category lists the letters that must not occur in the same root, regardless of their order. The fourth category lists the letters that may not be used together in a certain order in a root. ISLRN: 190-535-098-473-3
