The Arabic component in Domari

The goal of this paper is to discuss the Arabic component in the northern dialects of Domari spoken in Lebanon, Syria and Southern Turkey and see to what extent it differs from the Arabic component found in southern Domari, spoken in Jordan and Palestine and already discussed by Matras (2007, 2012).
