From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Wehr (1909-1981) was a German Arabist. A professor at the University of Münster from 1957-1974, he published the Arabisches Wörterbuch (1952), which was later published in an English edition as A Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic, edited by J Milton Cowan. For the dictionary Wehr created a transliteration scheme to represent the Arabic alphabet. The latest edition of the dictionary was published in 1995 and is Arabic-German only.
