Today we are going to talk all about Levantine Arabic dialects that emerge from the Levant region, also known as "Al-Sham", in the Middle East. The Levant region is composed of the countries Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. We will explore the similarities and differences of Levantine Arabic dialects from pronunciation, to vocabulary, to grammar. We'll take a trip back to the past to discover what influenced these dialects and we'll talk about how they are still evolving.
We'll also discuss the difference between Levantine dialects and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).

ahlan great video shukran. I wanted to ask if the word for now الحين is also used in the shami dialects, maybe in the southern parts of Jordan.
The word الحين sounds very gulf Arabic to me, I haven’t heard it much in Levantine dialects, but I can imagine regions close to gulf countries might have adopted it.
Israelis also speaks the Levantinian dialect.
I think there are way more speakers of this dialect here than the MSA.
Yes MSA is virtually never spoken colloquially besides professional settings like news broadcast.
nice & interesting video! i thought the "ch" for Kaf was an Iraqi thing hahaha. Also i think the use of french in Lebanon is being replaced by english more and more... also I think the use of french is linked to class, it is mostly heard in the richer areas of Beirut. you won't hear French at all in south Lebanon or the Bekaa
Yes the “ch” is definitely more prominent in the Iraqi dialect, but you might hear it rarely in rural areas, and in places close to the border. That makes sense that the French is being replaced by English, since it’s more widely spoken. Yes where my family is from in southern Lebanon, you don’t hear French, other than things like “assencel” for elevator (inspired by the French ascenseur)
