Whilst being a southern Mesopotamian Arabic dialect, it has many similarities with Gulf Arabic in neighbouring Kuwait. It has subsequently had a long history of contact with the Persian language, leading to several changes.[1] The main changes are in word order, noun\u2013noun and noun\u2013adjective attribution constructions, definiteness marking, complement clauses, and discourse markers and connectors.[1][2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Khuzestani Arabic is only used in informal situations. It is not taught in school, not even as an optional course, although Modern Standard Arabic is taught at a basic level for religious purposes.[1] Almost all Khuzestani Arabic speakers are bilingual in Arabic and Persian (the official language of Iran).[3] Khuzestani Arabic speakers are shifting to Persian; if the existing shift continues into the next generations, according to Bahrani & Gavami in Journal of the International Phonetic Association, the dialect will be nearly extinct in the near future.[3]Table of ContentsDistribution[edit]Contact and lexis[edit]Phonology[edit]Vowels[edit]Consonants[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Sources[edit]Distribution[edit]Khuzestani Arabic is spoken in Ahvaz, Hoveyzeh, Bostan, Susangerd, Shush, Abadan, Khorramshahr, Shadegan, Hamidiyeh, Karun, and Bawi.[3]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Contact and lexis[edit]The Khuzestani Arabic dialect is in contact with Bakhtiari Lurish, Persian and Mesopotamian Arabic.[3] Although the lexis of the dialect is primarily composed of Arabic words, it also has Persian, English, French and Turkish loanwords.[3] In the northern and eastern cities of Khuzestan, Luri is spoken in addition to Persian, and the Arabic of the Kamari Arabs of this region is “remarkably influenced” by Luri.[3] In cities in Khuzestan such as Abadan, some of the new generations, especially females, often mainly speak Persian.[3] A number of Khuzestani Arabic speakers furthermore only converse in Persian at home with their children.[3]Phonology[edit]Vowels[edit]Consonants[edit]Even in the most formal of conventions, pronunciation depends upon a speaker’s background.[4] Nevertheless, the number and phonetic character of most of the 28 consonants has a broad degree of regularity among Arabic-speaking regions. Note that Arabic is particularly rich in uvular, pharyngeal, and pharyngealized (“emphatic”) sounds. The emphatic coronals (\/s\u02e4\/, \/d\u02e4\/, \/t\u02e4\/, and \/\u00f0\u02e4\/) cause assimilation of emphasis to adjacent non-emphatic coronal consonants.[citation needed] The phonemes \/p\/ \u27e8\u067e\u27e9 and \/v\/ \u27e8\u06a4\u27e9 (not used by all speakers) are only occasionally considered to be part of the phonemic inventory, as they exist only in foreign words and they can be pronounced as \/b\/ \u27e8\u0628\u27e9 and \/f\/ \u27e8\u0641\u27e9 respectively depending on the speaker.[5][6]Phonetic notes:\/p\/ and \/v\/ occur mostly in borrowings from Persian, and may be assimilated to \/b\/ or \/f\/ in some speakers.\/\u0261\/ is pronunciation of \/q\/ in Khuzestani Arabic and the rest of southern Mesopotamian dialects.The gemination of the flap \/\u027e\/ results in a trill [r].See also[edit]References[edit]Sources[edit]Holes, Clive (2004).
