Cornelis Henricus Maria "Kees" Versteegh (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkeːs fərˈsteːx];[a] born 1947) is a Dutch academic linguist. He served as a professor of Islamic studies and the Arabic language at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands until April 2011.[2][3][4]
Versteegh graduated from Radboud University in 1977, the subject of his doctoral dissertation having been the influence of Greek on Arabic. He was a lecturer in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies until 1987, when he took a position at the Netherlands Institute in Cairo for two years. Versteegh returned to Radboud in 1989, and in 2011 he became professor emeritus.[1] Versteegh's research and views on the Arabic language and its evolution have been described as groundbreaking.[5]
