Abstract
The aim of this paper is to conduct a constructive and comparative evaluation between two important Arabic corpora for two different Arabic dialects, namely, Saudi dialect corpus that was collected by King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), and a Levantine Arabic dialect corpus. Levantine dialect is spoken by ordinary Lebanese, Jordanian, Syrian, and Palestinian people. The later one was produced by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC). Advantages and disadvantages of these two corpora were presented and discussed. This discussion is aiming to help digital speech processing researchers to figure out the weakness and strength sides of these important corpora before considering them in their experiments. Moreover, this paper can motivate in designing, maintaining, distributing, and upgrading Arabic corpora to help Arabic language speech research communities.
