"Also use Standard Arabic [arb]. No diglossia with Standard Arabic [arb]."

What does this mean? If they use arb then there's a diglossia because arb implies a diglossic situation.

Editorial Action

We will remove the comment - "No diglossia with Standard Arabic [arb]" - from Cypriot Spoken Arabic [acy] in Cyprus.

Dear Antoine,

Thanks for pointing out this "bizarre comment" about no no diglossia with Standard Arabic [arb], as the other editors called it. We will certainly delete it.

Best wishes,
