The candidate collects the dialects mentioned in Sheikh Tfayyesh's book, and then studies every problem according to the study plan. The candidate indicates the Arab tribes that used each dialect and the integrity of Sheikh Tfayyesh's statements along with some points Sheikh Tfayyesh did not mention based on citations of relevant Qur'anic verses, lines of poetry, or narrations to reach the most likely conclusions. The candidate relies on both sama'
(narrations) and qiyas (deductive analogy) while pointing to the most eloquent or standard thereof. The candidate has also renders some dialectical texts in their relevant modern dialects especially that of the people of Oman and Semitic languages based on translated sources and modern dialectical studies.

Chapter Two touches upon the morphological issues, such as the morphological scale, structure of infinitives, masculine and feminine, and I'lal (vowel changes) Chapter Three deals with the grammatical issues, such as nouns, verbs, words that can be nouns or verbs, and letters. Chapter Four handles the lexicological dialectical issues and their entries as per alphabetical order.
