Since Niko already recommended this, I'll add this, and pop the 6-year thread back up.

Randall Garr's Dialect Geography of Syria-Palestine (in her list above)

https://www.amazon.com/Dialect-Geography-Syria-Palestine-2004-08-01/dp/B01HCAJ5QK

The more recent is about $40, but a used earlier is less than $20. And if you have the JBL journals, there's a good review in issue #106, No 3.

A really interesting book. Garr tries to geographically (with mapping) link the semitic dialects in Palestine, looking at phonology, morphology, and syntax. And then postulates a dialectal continuum (detailed linguistic features tables) for what amounts to the 'Divided Kingdom' period.

As the JBL review article notes, the data is pretty limited. But the information presented is quite good ... very thought provoking. I doubt Logos will get to such a volume, but the older used ones are do-able.

Dr Heiser also noted the volume in his Realms book.
