Abstract. The paper provides a systemic description of a linguistic phenomenon called "Portuguese Aljamia". Scientific originality of the research lies in the fact that for the first time in domestic Portuguese studies this phenomenon is examined from the viewpoint of historical phonetics, in particular, the authors analyse alternative transliterations of a Portuguese sound [s]. The findings indicate that the letter ??n [?] is not always used to transliterate Portuguese sound [s], as it was proposed by D. Lopes in his Arabic Trans-literation Rules. Intervocalic [s] is often transliterated as [?]. According to D. Lopes, this Arabic letter should be transliterated as [j].
Key words and phrases: португальское алхамиадо, алжамиа, арабографические тексты, арабо-португальские рукописи, чередование ш?н [?] и дж?м [?], Portuguese Aljamia, Aljamia, Arabic script texts, Aljamiado manuscripts, alternation of [?] and [?]
