Definition:

<syntaxhighlight lang="ksh">

typeset -A phonebook; # ksh93; in bash4+, "typeset" is a synonym of the more preferred "declare", which works identically in this case

phonebook=(["Sally Smart"]="555-9999" ["John Doe"]="555-1212" ["[[J. Random Hacker]]"]="555-1337");

declare -A phonebook; # bash4

phonebook=(["Sally Smart"]="555-9999" ["John Doe"]="555-1212" ["[[J. Random Hacker]]"]="555-1337");

</syntaxhighlight>

Dereference:

<syntaxhighlight lang="ksh">

${phonebook["John Doe"]};
