Summary/Abstract: This study presents the author's recommendations for the transcription of Arabic texts into Slovak in scientific - mainly linguistic works, based on her own experience. There already exist a few works devoted to the so-called popular transcription, however, there are still some controversial points, as well as a whole range of dilemmas that yet have to be solved - mainly for the purposes of books specialized in Arabic linguistics and palaeography. The present part focuses on the transcription of Arabic texts not influenced by their Slovak syntactic surroundings. It also recommends a table of signs and typographical formatting to facilitate the transcription of hardly legible texts.
