It is universally accepted that the majority of Ṣa‘īdī (Upper Egyptian) and Cairene consonants
correspond with each other very closely. However, the Ṣa‘īdī cognates of Cairene /tˤ/,
/g/, and /ʔ/ show significant variation that has not yet been studied phonologically or
mapped. The research that has been conducted on these Upper Egyptian cognate sounds
is either based on a very small sample size, or lacking phonological distributions for these
sounds. This paper revisits the phonological variation and distribution of the Upper
Egyptian cognates for the Cairene /tˤ/, /g/, and /ʔ/. This study concludes that its Ṣa‘īdī
cognate of the Cairene /tˤ/ is [ɗ] in most regions, and that the Ṣa‘īdī cognates of the /g/,
and /ʔ/ differ from previous documentation. / text
