N2 - Arabic dialects present a special problem for natural language processing because there are few Arabic dialect resources, they have no standard orthography, and they have not been studied much. However, as more and more written dialectal Arabic is found on social media, natural language processing for Arabic dialects has become an important goal. We present a methodology for creating a morphological analyzer and a morphological tagger for dialectal Arabic, and we illustrate it on Egyptian and Levantine Arabic. To our knowledge, these are the first analyzer and tagger for Levantine.
