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]
