South Mesopotamian Arabic is a variety of Mesopotamian Arabic spoken in southern Iraq ( Basra, Maysan, Dhi Qar, and Wasit). It is also known as El-Lahja Al-Janubia, which means the dialect of Southern Iraqis. [1] [2] This dialect differs distinctly from other dialects of Iraq. It has a strong Aramaic influence. [3] The most noticeable feature of South Mesopotamian Arabic is the pronunciation of the sounds /g/, /tʃ/, /ʒ/ and /p/. [4]
