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/ < *q, /tʃ/ < *k, /ʒ/ and /p/.^[4]
