Are these Iraqi Arabic dialect words or Modern Standard Arabic?
This is spoken Iraqi Arabic, closest to the Baghdadi register. It is not Modern Standard Arabic, and it is noticeably different from Levantine dialects in both vocabulary and pronunciation.
How accurate are these translations?
Every word is cross-checked against Iraqi Arabic dictionaries and carries a confidence score, shown on the card whenever it falls below 90%. The books have not been through a full native-speaker editorial review, so if a word looks wrong to you, tell us and we will correct it and send you a free replacement copy.
How can I read these if I do not know the script?
Every word carries a phonetic transliteration in Latin letters, so a parent who never learned to read Arabic script can still read the page aloud correctly. Kipiku was started by a mother who could not read her own children's heritage script, which is why transliteration appears on every word in every book.
